Camol guide for All the Mons 0.3.0-beta to 1.1.1

Same as in the All the Mods 10 5.2 guide

Camol is part of this pack's mod list, running version 1.21.1-0.3.0 (the file camol-1.21.1-0.3.0.jar). If you've spotted it in your mods folder and wondered what it's doing there, that's the version you've got.^[1]

Unverified There isn't reliable information yet on what Camol actually adds, who it's aimed at, or how it ties into the pack's progression. There's no in-game guidebook for it, and no quests in the pack involve it, so this section will be expanded once we can confirm its features.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 5.2 guide

Getting into Camol in this pack is quick: there's only one item to craft from scratch, and everything else comes from converting it. Start with the Camo Block. It's a regular shaped crafting recipe, and the pack uses the mod's own recipe without changes.^[2]

Your first Camol item

Switching between the two camo blocks

Once you have a Camo Block, you can turn it into a Shape Retaining Camo Block with a conversion recipe. You don't need any extra ingredients, just the block you already made.^[2]

Changed your mind? The conversion works both ways, so a Shape Retaining Camo Block converts straight back into a Camo Block. You never lose a block by picking the wrong version.^[2]

Shape Retaining Camo Block back to Camo Block

Suggested order

1. Craft a Camo Block. It's the only Camol item made from basic materials.^[2]
2. If you want the other variant, convert it into a Shape Retaining Camo Block.^[2]
3. Convert back to a Camo Block any time you need the original version again.^[2]

Unverified What the camo blocks actually do when placed, and how the Shape Retaining version behaves differently from the normal one, isn't covered by the available sources. Test them in a creative world before using them in a big build.

Camol is a small mod. Going by what the sources show, it adds two disguise blocks and nothing else: Camo Block and Shape Retaining Camo Block. You use them to make a block look like another block.^[3][4]

Disguising and undisguising

The in-game tooltip for Camo Block says it has to be crafted together with a block. After that, you right click a block to disguise it as the block your Camo Block carries. Right click a camoed block to undisguise it again.^[3]

Shape Retaining Camo Block has the same tooltip text for crafting with a block, disguising and undisguising.^[3]

Collision shape: the one real difference

The two blocks differ in which collision shape they use. The Camo Block tooltip says it uses the collision shape of the camoed block. The Shape Retaining Camo Block tooltip says it uses the collision shape of the camoing block. The mod's text doesn't go further than that, so test it in a creative world before you build anything important with it.^[3]

Crafting and converting

The base Camo Block is a shaped crafting recipe. It is a mod recipe, and it makes 4 blocks per craft.^[4]

You don't craft the Shape Retaining version from scratch. The pack lists a conversion recipe that turns a Camo Block into a Shape Retaining Camo Block, and another that turns it back.^[4]

What Camol doesn't have

The sources show no machines, multiblocks, power, fluid or item handling for Camol, and the pack has no config files for it. For automation, there is nothing in Camol to set up.^[3][4]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 5.2 guide

Good news if you like simple mods: in this pack, Camol doesn't have a long tier ladder to climb. Only two items are crafted from it, the Camo Block and the Shape Retaining Camo Block, so the whole progression is one crafting recipe plus a conversion.^[2]

Step by step

1. Craft a Camo Block at a crafting table. This is a shaped recipe and your starting point for the mod.^[2]
2. Convert that Camo Block into a Shape Retaining Camo Block using the mod's own conversion recipe.^[2]
3. Changed your mind? You can convert a Shape Retaining Camo Block back into a regular Camo Block.^[2]

Camo Block

Everything starts with the Camo Block. It's a standard shaped crafting recipe provided by the mod itself, and it accepts any item from the matching dye tags, so you're not locked into one particular source of each dye.^[2]

Switching between the two versions

The Shape Retaining Camo Block isn't a higher tier that you unlock later. You make it straight from a Camo Block, and the conversion also works in reverse. That means you can craft a batch of regular Camo Blocks and turn them into whichever version you need, whenever you need it.^[2]

Unverified It's not confirmed exactly how the Shape Retaining Camo Block behaves differently from the regular Camo Block in-game, so test both versions in your world before you commit to a big build.
