1.11 furnace hooks. how do i tap into a furnace the easy way?

[trollworkout]

Right now I am looking for FurnaceTileEntity and I just manually check every second to see if a a new item got smelted comparing previous items to new items. Not ideal but is the only way I found.

 

is there some kind of event that fires when a new item gets smelted? 

 

also what about fuel hooks?

 

the only way I can figure this out is by tapping into the TileEntity and directly changing the properties of the Furnace.

 

i am asking if there is a better way to handle furnaces other than checking every second for changes the hardcore way.

What is your goal?

In fact i have 3 goals!!

 

GOAL 1: Every  single time a Furnace situated right beside  (on the same level N S E W) my Deposits VAT produces a new Iron or Gold ingot  then have the Deposits Vat produce a random deposit.

 

I go this working. I do this is I get the FurnaceTileEntity and I check every 40 ticks for output and do stuff if output is more than before. WORKS but feels kinda the long way around.  Is there a better way?

 

GOAL 2: When I place a Steam Heater block near a Furnace increase cook speed and provide fuel to the furnace meaning that it won't need coal no more.

 

This may work by tapiing into the furnace tile entity and provide it fuel by manually adding fuel every dozen ticks or so keeping even affecting cook time.

 

GOAL 3: When I place Steam heater have the Furnace produce steamed meat instead of regular meat. And when I got Billows placed have the furnace able to produce Wrought Iron. If no billows Wrought Iron cannot be produced.

 

Now GOAL 3 seems to be impossible without some next level hooks. Essentially it means the Furnace has a selective recipe that only works if there's a Billows attached.

Goal two can be accomplished via Reflection, but goal 1 and 3 are not possible with events right now at least not the way you want. You could use ItemSmeltedEvent which is fired when the player takes items from the furnace output slot. So basically you will need to put in a PR for a CanSmeltItemEvent and a SmeltingResultEvent. And Goal one is being done in the best way possible as of right now.

Ok thanks for the help.

 

1 is done right now I m gonna stick with that I got i think is the only way i figured this out

 

2. i gotta figure out this reflection

 

for 3 i'm gonna have to make some crazy stuff  because i wanna keep furnace compatible with any other mod. most other mods will expect furnace to be a FurnaceBlock with a FurnaceTileEntity attached to it.

 

I am thinking I may have to create a custom furnace that extends FurnaceBlock and a custom tile entity that extends FurnaceTileEntity but add my own hooks into it. And perhaps either  put my own furnace whenever i place my custom blocks around it OR just fully replace the furnace altogether via alias. Not many mods replace vanilla blocks. I already replace Cauldron and I may also do it to Furnace because is very common block to tap into and it really REALLY needs more hooks.

You can create a custom block that extends BlockFurnace and TileEntityFurnace and just use the BlocPlacedEvent to override it.
