Henrycraft Design Kit — playable hotbar prototype (0.4.2)
WHAT THIS BUILD ADDS
- Dirt, cobblestone, and oak-plank inventory items with original pixel-art icons.
- Stone and iron pickaxe items, plus a working KCD2 work-axe alias.
- Selecting a block shows a small matching cube in Henry's hand. Selecting a tool equips it through KCD2's actor inventory.
- While the bar is shown, number keys 1-8 select slots. Mouse-wheel and quick-slot next/previous actions cycle through all nine slots.
- With a block selected, primary click places it. Hold primary click with a pickaxe to mine the last block; releasing early cancels.
- Mining time depends on both block and pickaxe: dirt takes 0.55s with stone / 0.35s with iron; cobblestone 1.60s / 0.95s; planks 0.90s / 0.55s.
- Stack counts refresh in the hotbar after items are added or used.
- Console commands remain available for selecting slots, placing blocks, mining, and showing or hiding the hotbar.
CONSOLE COMMANDS
- hc_start: add the starter blocks and tools, then show the hotbar.
- hc_hud / hc_hidehud: show or hide the hotbar.
- hc_slot_1 through hc_slot_9: select a hotbar slot; hc_slot_next / hc_slot_prev cycle all nine.
- hc_use: use the selected block or pickaxe.
- hc_place_dirt / hc_place_cobble / hc_place_planks: place one block if it is in inventory.
- hc_mine_last: start timed mining of the last placed block if a pickaxe is in inventory.
INSTALLATION
Extract the ZIP contents into:
KingdomComeDeliverance2\Mods\henrycraft_design_kit
The folder should contain mod.manifest, Data\henrycraft_design_kit.pak, and Localization\English_xml.pak.
Start the game with its console available, then run hc_start.
LIMITS OF THIS PROTOTYPE
- Blocks are single cubes placed ahead of Henry. They do not snap to surfaces or form a full Minecraft-style terrain grid. Mining targets only the last block placed by this mod.
- The hotbar intercepts common wheel and quick-slot actions only while it is visible. If your customized KCD2 controls use a different wheel action, bind wheel up/down to the game's quick-slot next/previous actions.
- The game has not been launched with this build, so hand attachment, wheel action names, input hooks, item creation, placement, localization, and live counter updates still need an in-game check.
- Pixel-art textures are generated for this project. No Minecraft or KCD2 asset files are redistributed; KCD2 models are referenced from the player's own installation.
