I don't think it would make conveyors useless, as:
1. It would work only for mobs/players
2. Sometimes it is cooler to see things moving on conveyors rather than teleporting them instantly.

Also Minecart/harvester isn't good example as teleporters would be instant travels opposite to long travels on tracks.

hi i like your mod
BUT PLEASE MAKET SMP COMPATIBLE

[TheJeremail]

Working on SMP...

It would be cool if you had another pulsar that could be activated by say a mob detector (for flashing lights)!

[Darkhog]

I think spawner control gate has such option, but I'm unsure.

this method does not use tracks - its wireless, the harvester can harvest minecart in quite a good range (across a wally for example), and teleport it on the opposite end with it's contents (player etc.). I think it does not work for Chest cart.

And with some belts (instead of tracks, redirectors, player detectors and such things, it can be automatic and bidirectional.

Well, but it'll be cool if there will be dedicated teleport block. Because your method even if it works (didn't test it) doesn't solve teleporting e.g. underground. With clever systems of teleports, you would never be lost again in caves, if you have at least one teleporter with you.

OMG THIS PWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so make it clear:

• Teleporter does not have to face the opposite piece
  
• Teleporters have unique names
  
• There are two pieces - input and output block
  
• Special "personal teleporter" for player teleportation, with a menu of destinations
  
• Portable teleporter device, similar to Radio Remote form wireless module
  
• Basic teleporter works for all entities, and is shaped similarly to conveyor belt, but with some super fancy animation or whatever
  
• It is extremely overpowered - maybe it should consume some sort of fuel?

And what else I want to add soon to PowerCraft:

• The iron frame block (decorative)
  
• Redstone storage block, enderpearl storage block

I found out a little bug:
when you run this program EDIT: in the miner
<a=20>
(loop 5:
10
r2
r
10
l2
l )
l
(@a)
q
rr
(@a)
<a+20>
your minecraft crashes
don't know that is the bug in my code and i'm just starting with these about 15 mins. of studying (and i'm finnish so i don't exactly know what every word mean)

[Geekin_It_Up]

quick question.....is it hard to implament the minecraft forge API? cause that would really help me out alot with this mod.....

[Redstone4Life]

I dont know if this bug is know but it can crash your game, and corrupt your save. You probably wont need crash report for this one.


Replace some bedrock(Or just one block)with Elevators (Up) and build some Elevators (Up) on top. Then throw and item in(Or make a conveyor belt on the final layer of bedrock that transports the items in.).

it's known, but I didn receive a crash report yet.

There's also a glich that in miner programming that if there's one variable other variables won't work
example:
<a=0> <b=0>
(@2:
r
10
r
2
r
10
l
2
r
r
<a+4>
q
<b-4>
)
and 'b' variables won't work it goes straght forward

and what do you want it to do?

<a+4> does not affect the variable, it only does a+4 steps, a stays the same

I dont know whether it crashes or not, but (@a) means nothing in the language. (@a: ... )   equals to (LOOP a: ... )

Ore Sniffer!

[BrokenEye]

I wonder. . . would it be possible for a wireless antenna to send a signal from one dimension (overworld, nether, end, etc.) to another?

[Hereida17]

Maybe add a destroyer belt. it destroys un wanted items(ex-rotten flesh)

No, for technical reasons. the two are never loaded at the same time.

About the miner, do you have any plans to add something to "return to base" type of thing?  I'm still trying to figure out a way to get the miner to mine an area and return to empty itself to a chest when the inventory is full, then go back where it was and continue with the program that was being executed in the first place...  (I'm also taking a look at your source code to see if I could implement that myself)
