Once your ticket has been resolved, please close it with </ticket close:1054771505520717835> command!

[rustic night]

yes

[hazy furnace]

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/compressed-mod you could probably add recipes to the compactor from this mod to do it

it does exactly what youre looking for with blocks like cobblestone, im sure youd be able to do the same with other items, youd have to look into it though

[plucky fable]

I think it's not exactly what I want

I'd rather make the custom machine

how do I start?

[hazy furnace]

??kjswiki

[safe reef]

You can make custom blocks with KubeJS, and the wiki has a page on them!

[hazy furnace]

then in a right click event you would have it consume the item and add a persistent data that when it reaches 9 (or however many items youre doing) would spawn in the appropriate block

[plucky fable]

the hopper or pipes works as right click?

and, can I make the 9 a variable so I can set how much it takes in a craft js?

[hazy furnace]

hmm hoppers and pipes i have not thought of

like i said the mod that i linked probably has that functionality and you could edit it with kubejs maybe, up to you tho

[plucky fable]

I read It but i'm not very sure how to make it... do stuff

[safe reef]

[hazy furnace]

well thats where the right click event comes in

im not sure how to make hoppers usable on it tho

[plucky fable]

what if I made it like a chest with no UI

so it stores items inside

[hazy furnace]

hmm

i mean yeah im sure you could create a container and when the container contains a certain nbt value it could spit out an output?

not sure how to go about that tho

[plucky fable]

the part with fire or ice below it is doable right?

[hazy furnace]

hmm

thats an interesting thing because youd somehow have to detect if a block is right next to the container

[plucky fable]

modular machinery can

"Check/place/replace/break/destroy nearby blocks."

I think ill create the machine with Custom Machinery and only add recipes with the KJS

[hazy furnace]

ooo

do it

[plucky fable]

(do you know how this mod works tho?)

[hazy furnace]

i do not 😄

[plucky fable]

INDEED

[hazy furnace]

lmao

[plucky fable]

ok so if I discover this ill be able to make my modpack be very greggy

I HAvE TO

WISH ME GL

ill be back with news, dont wait me for the dinner...

[hazy furnace]

you got this my man

[plucky fable]

(just to make sure the datapacks folder goes inside my modpack folder or kube js?)

the modpack yeah this is independent

[hazy furnace]

kubejs>data is the datapacks folder

then you put your datapack in there

[rustic night]

just use the kubejs/data folder

[plucky fable]

really?

[rustic night]

also, don't ask why I'm awake at 3am

[rustic night]

yes

[plucky fable]

I didnt in the last days, I wont today

[hazy furnace]

l00l

[rustic night]

[plucky fable]

which syntax do I need to start a datapack

its a json

I think its just brackets

I hope it worked

[hazy furnace]

you need an mcmeta file for it

all .jars have them in them you could copy

[plucky fable]

custom machinery machines are kept in datapacks and they're written as json

[hazy furnace]

to make a custom machinery(or any other mod) datapack

then that goes into the kubejs>data folder for you to edit in

[plucky fable]

ok so

im looking on the custom machinery wiki

ServerEvents.recipes(event =>{
    event.recipes.custommachinery.custom_machine('custommachinery:light/composter', 100)
    .requireFluid(Fluid.of('minecraft:water'))
.requireFluid(Fluid.of('minecraft:lava'))
.produceItem(Item.of('minecraft:obsidian'))
})```

whats wrong here?

[plucky fable]

its FINALLY working

FINALLY
