Aquamarine

Multiblock library to allow creation of multiblocks in mods easier.
This mod help create “Modern Industrialization-like” multiblocks, i.e. multiblocks which have a controller, some innert blocks, and hatch blocks for IO.

Note: This project is very unfinished but works. This is intended as a base library for my other mods using multiblock but can be used by others.

Docs exist but not for everything, still WIP.

Features

Multiblocks

Multiblocks are made of lists both simple members and hatch flags. The simple member defines what block goes at that position. The hatch flags define what hatch types can replace that position. Empty flags can be provided.

Multiblocks can easily access their attached hatches to transfer items/fluids/energy between multiblock and hatch.

Multiblock Rendering

Rendering multiblock previews layer by layer.

Indicating which blocks can be replaced by hatches.

If a block in the multiblock can be replaced by a hatch that the player is holding, the block will have a green outline around it.

Rendering entire multiblock at one.

Not recommended as it renders weirdly and layer by layer is easier to build.
