Hello,

 

I am making a mod that will require custom machinery can anyone help me with this? Is it like making a custom furnace??

 

Thanks For Your Help

It would help if you described what kind of machine you want to make.

 

If your machine is something you can put items into (like it has slots), then a furnace would be a good example -- you'd need to implement Container and such.

 

If your machine doesn't need items, then you would just make it a simple tile entity.

It would be like the macerator from tekkit so it will need slots

Then there you go! Like jabelar said, go look at the furnace. Or some source code of other mods. Everything is boolean logic, the rest is details.

It would be like the macerator from tekkit so it will need slots

Off-Topic: This is why I don't like tekkit.

After this start to make new things with this mixed, if all run right (single player AND with dedicated server), start a concept of how to transform items in new items... with this start your machine. If you don't learn the things around machines a simple problem can destroy your work, because you don't understand what is happening.

 

I really recomend a good base of Java to do this, because machines require some defined things like logic flags or methods with some different actions that can move a newbie to a big fail.

 

Machine blocks are an advanced resource in a mod. You can make machines with or without GUIs, with or without containers, with or without some things, but you need to understand all these things first.

 

Jabelar, Wuppy and some guys are good sources of tutorials... go, learn and fly! o/
