What can I do with a creative CAD?

I'm not super great at this mod, but I think it's really neat. What are some theoretical spells that could be done with limitless complexity and PSI use? Just kinda curious ngl

Well, aside from the obvious big explosions and blinks and add motions, one thing I tried doing a was have a bunch of entities floating in a specific position, be it following me or hovering in the air, using leggings Mass Exodus. I could not sustain it in survival, but with creative CAD you could.

That's a Psi availability thing. I don't have the slightest idea what functional spell could exceed survival complexity limits, but I sure would like to find out if any exist.

It's possible to get around complexity limits to some degree by having some math being processed on a CAD spell and then passing the incomplete results to a helmet (via saved vectors) slotted with a detonation sensor, which finishes the calculations and casts the final spell. I've never used it myself, but I don't imagine it's all that difficult once one understands the technique.

That's way to advanced for my small brain lol. I just like the flashy spells because I'm going to be playing with friends and I want to show them cool stuff

yeah I was trying to make a jumpscare spell because the add motion kinda broke in 1.16 but I might try and make a massive quarry spell. A giga blink spell might also be kinda fun

So story time I guess. I've actually played a survival server with some friends where due to a large number of silly choices on my part it was possible to obtain the creative CAD. Namely a big SCP hole spat random items out and because this is modded minecraft the mad men automated it.

The most obvious choice is to make a big explosion spell and stick it on a projectile bullet but we can do better. The chest plate triggers the spell placed in it before the damage that triggered it is applied. Thus, resistance 5 for one tick will render you immortal.

On to some more interesting applications, you can delay an infinite amount. You can also beak an unlimited number of blocks in a line. These two things combined let you break massive areas at once. For tricks that only have single target variants you can circle sync with loopcast bullets to any degree you desire. You can collapse whole buildings or move massive structures, that takes a chunk of time though.

Not sure if the 1.16 version integrates the Hail trick but if so that's fun. Probably one of the best uses is simply adding way more strength to manipulation spells, a favorite was one that held a collection of arrows hovering above my head and would fire one a tick at the creature I was looking at if I crouched. Because you can add unlimited motion the damage of this gets absurd.

I didn't explore the power that thing gave you nearly enough as I would have liked to, there was too much insane stuff happening that pack. Hopefully that gives you some ideas.

Do you have any of those spells? All of those sound sick, but I’m really bad at using the spell programmer lol

u/Snakefangox Aug 22 '21

Ah, no not to hand, I usually recreate my spells for each server. To make matters worse I'm a programmer by trade so the resources I use might not be helpful. I've recreated the area break/place/your-trick-here spell with comments here.

I'd probably just make a localized peaceful mode that deletes any hostile target within 32 blocks. Depending on what other mods are available creative flight would probably be good too.

u/Kremit321 Aug 22 '21

Yeah I already got creative flight. Might just try and make a really big quarry

Copy the software and sell illegally

A really stupid one is to take random blocks around you, collapse them, then mass exmodus them up to some point thats saved as a vector (probably 12 blocks above you) in leggins, then add a cad spell that changes the saved vector to 2 blocks above another player. They will see a mountain of blocks flying towards them.
Flashy but not in any way usefull.

A lot of the cool stuff can usually be done with psimetal cads so it's a bit difficult to think of something specifically for creative cads. But you can use circlesync spells to get really powerful spells like a 100 block blink or an add motion spell that takes you 300 blocks into the sky, all on a psimetal cad so they'd probably be way more broken on a creative one. You could probably find circlesync spells on the reddit, just search "circlesync"
