I'll be keeping my eye on this! I've toyed around with redpower control and computer craft, but java is my language of choice. Let me know if you need any help ever, I'd love to see this come to be!

[Stiepen]

Very cool idea, looking forward to more stuff

0.0.2 and added recipe pictures. Next up is the actual simulations.

okay now for an FAQ for you

what are the prerequests for installing this mod will it require any sort of java api?

will this mod let you create mods in game?
if(yes != null) { // < ---- see what i did there lol kind of
will this computer let me create a new mod live in the game without having to restart the client?
}

will this mod beable to detect errors and give error reports?

In other news, I am working on the monitor GUI. I'm having trouble sizing it properly.

ah awesome shame you couldn't make it so we could create stuff in game :/ altho it should be possible if you use some ids for example, a blockid once a certain code has been run on the computer it could use that id (with meta data) and for texture it could get it from the same way as you would from changing textures packs

would be awesome to see that in game

I believe that the modding in-game is impossible. However, the texture thing is something I need to look into.

not really since making just a block using your computer the way i explained the block is already in the game

Wow, this is awesome. But how do you install? Do I jus throw it into the mods folder like most forge mods?

Yes. I wouldn't recommend using it until at least 0.0.4; it doesn't do anything yet. 0.0.4 should bring prototypes of the core mod.

[ww2gamenamehere]

Oh ok, thank you, can't wait to see if this works with CC

JavaCraft should work with any Forge mod. This would include CC. I will also be adding (at a much later stage in dev) a way to interact with some major mods (IC2, BC3, CC) using OpenJC.

that's just awesome!

Interesting idea. But if I understand correctly, programs are compiled to .jar using external program and then dropped into minecraft folder. How would that work on SMP server?

It will eventually be able to compile in-game. But until then, SMP might be tough.
Edit: 0.0.4 might take a while, sorry.

[tiin57]

0.0.4pre2 is available on github. You can compile it from there, but my MCP is broken. I'll get a compiled download up ASAP.

Looking forward to it
