Better Mod

Features:

• Bookshelves can hold paper-related items (Maps, Books, Enchanted Books, Paper, Empty Map, etc)
• A “Bit Hopper”, ported from Bit Hop. A Bit Hopper is a light-weight hopper that doesn’t pick up item entities, or pull items, and only pushes them. Useful for hopper chains where you aren’t using the ability to pick up items, or the ability to pull them.
• A “Pull Hopper” which functions similarly to the Bit Hopper, but can also pull items from a tile entity above it. Still cannot interact with dropped items or minecarts with inventories.
• A “Stick(y) Hopper” which is identical to the Pull Hopper, except it keeps an item in every slot. This can be used to create filters for up to 5 items.
• Sling Mechanism, an alternative to the bow in the Dispenser recipe, craftable using 4 sticks and a string. The Sling Mechanism’s purpose is to simplify crafting, as the bows are unable to stack.
• Resonant Sculk Sensor, crafted using Echo Shards and a Calibrated Sculk Sensor – has double the range of a Calibrated Sculk Sensor. (Currently uncraftable due to a coding oversight, and waiting on a library)

Planned Features:

• Screw Hopper
• A “pipe” made of copper that allows you to move items, similar to a hopper, but without the ability to suck up items.
• Open to suggestions!

Code:

• API:
• BetterMod exposes an API for blocks that have tile entities (BetterBlock) and tile entities with an inventory + GUI (BetterBlockEntity). There is also an API for tile entities that want to tick (BetterTickingBlock, ITickable).

Notes:

• This mod went under the name BetterPerf while in development, before other features were added. As such, the code may reference some things as “betterperf” or “bettermod”
