Translocators

Translocators is a mod that allows you to transfer items and liquids between nearby inventories with a heavily configureable amount of control in a way that feels natural to Minecraft. It was developed in 36 hours during the ModJam modding contest and managed to take first prize.

The Translocators come in 2 forms, Item and Liquid. You can place them on the side of an Item/Fluid inventory. They transfer Items/Liquids within the same block space.

• If the center piece is protruding, Items/Liquids will flow out, into the sides with the center inset.
• Items/Liquids will always ravel to non-redstone outputs if they can.
• Items/Liquids will be evenly split between available outputs. Items will be taken from the slot with the largest quantity.
• Right clocking the plate of the translocator brings up a configurable filter.
• Adding glowstone to the plate makes it transfer stacks at a time.
• Adding redstone lets you toggle input/output with a redstone signal.

• Adding a diamond nugget (diamond in a crafting table gives 9) puts the Translocator in regulate mode. In this mode it will maintain a certain amount of items set in the filder of the inventory it's attached to.

  • On an inserting face, it will only accept items to fill the inventory to the matching filter.
  • On an ejecting face, it will eject any items that don't match the filter.
• Adding an iron ingot makes the translocator emit redstone signals to the attached inventory on certain conditions.
• On an inserting face, it will emit if there is no room for any item that matches the filter.
• On an ejecting face, it will emit if there is no place where any item can be put that matches the filter.
• Shift-Right clicking on the plate will strip and drop all upgrades placed on the translocator.

The Crafting Grid is placed by pressing C (Default, can be changed.) while looking at a solid top surface.

• The grid will remain for 20 seconds. Or 2 Minutes since last use.
• Right clicking with items will add/remove them from the grid.
• Pressing C again on the grid will attempt to craft the items.
