This mod has been updated from 1.7 to 1.10/1.11! As a result, much of the documentation and file format information has changed. Please be aware of this and read all the available documentation before reporting any issues/bugs!

In these days of MineTweaker and other mods that allow mod-pack creators to customize mods to their heart's content, there's one glaring gap in the tool-set that these authors have. Try as they might, the ability to simply add new items and blocks without knowledge of Java is something that has simply been lacking. Fortunately, that's exactly where Quadrum comes in. By itself, it provides a simple method to add blocks/items with custom properties. Combined with other tweak mods that exist, you have some endless possibilities.

THIS MOD CURRENTLY REQUIRES ResourceLoader!

Usage:
Full usage of this mod can get a little complex, so I encourage you to refer to the documentation on the wiki (Links bellow). In short though, upon first running your game, a block and an item directory can be found in your config folder inside the 'Quadrum' folder. Everything to do with Quadrum happens here.

Inside those block and item folders, you will store your JSON files that dictate what blocks/items should be created (info on that below)

If any part of this or the provided documentation is confusing, please, let me know!

Documentation: PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!

I also have a Trello board setup for Quadrum! Come take a look at where we're headed

Have issues or suggestions? The GitHub Issue Tracker is the place for you!

Installation:

To install the mod simply have forge installed and add it to the mods folder. Load up Minecraft and then look in the config folder to which you should see a 'Quadrum' folder in there is everything you need to start adding your own blocks and items. Need help doing so? Look at the documentation.

Mod Details

Everything in this mod centers around the 'Storage Controller', crafted like so

When placed in the world, it designates a defined space in front of it as the 'zone' used to store any Blocks or Items. By default (defaults changeable in the config), a 9x8x8 area is designated. By right-clicking the block, the config GUI will appear, which allows for a couple options, including changing the zone boundaries, and zone offset

The top three numbers designate the zone's X, Y, and Z values respecively

The bottom three numbers designate the zone's X, Y, and Z offset

Other options in this GUI including toggling the visability of the zone boundaries (useful for debugging), and changing the sorting mode of the controller.

The sorting mode handles how blocks are visually stored when in the world. Currently, there are four options, which are ROWS, COLUMNS, PYRAMID, and MESSY, shown here from left to right

Generally, when blocks are placed in the world, they'll look exactly the same as they would if you placed them yourself. There are some differences though. Essentially, the blocks plaed in the world aren't real blocks. They're unable to be broken (unless in creative mode), and won't interact with any other blocks.

Items function the same, but visually will show up as a marked crate, and unlike blocks, can store up to 16 items in one crate (block space).

So how do you interact with the block? Same way you interact with any other inventory. Blocks and items can be piped in and out the same way you'd interact with a chest, using whatever means you desire. Not only that, but blocks in the world can be shift-right-clicked to retrieve them, and any blocks placed inside the controller's zone will be added to the inventory

If you find yourself needing more sides in which to interact with your controller, or want a spot that works better with your setup, you can craft a Controller Interface

The Controller Interface, when placed next to an existing Controller's zone, will directly interface with that Controller's inventory, placing any items/blocks inserted into it into the zone, same as would happen when interacting directly with the controller

When placed properly, the interface will glow green! If it's not placed adjacent to a controller's zone, it will remain gray, and if it's next to more than one controller zone, it will glow red


Utility Blocks
Impractical Storage also adds several utility blocks to make item transportation and storage more fun, while still keeping with the overall style of the mod

First one is the Blockvayor, which, as the name suggests, functions the same as a standard conveyor belt, but moves blocks physically throughout the world. When placed, it faces towards the player

Next, we have the Gravity Inducer. Any block placed in front of it (or moved, say, with a piston or Blockvayor) will drop, as though it were a Sand or Gravel block

Finally, we have the Itemizer. Any block placed in front of it will drop as an Item in the world, ready to be picked up by a Player or Hopper (or any other block)

Really, the best way to experience and understand this mod is to play with it! I'll be providing more information here soon, as I flesh out some of the upcoming mechanics

I've released v1.1.0! Main post has been updated with a better guide on the different features of the mod

1.1.0:
[/b]New config GUI for controller
Ability to set controller bounds in-game
Ability to toggle visible bounds
Ability to set sorting mode in game
Added new sorting mode, columns

1. Not sure if I'm going to do fluid support or not, since there are other mods that do that, but we'll see

2. I've thought about it. For the moment, the boundaries will simply be set via GUI, but it's on my list of maybes

Oooh, exciting news everyone!

This mod is now updated for 1.11! As a result, much of the documentation and file format information has changed. Please be aware of this and read all the available documentation before reporting any issues/bugs!

For too long, Minecraft worlds have been plagued by inconsistent rain, sometimes going for days, threatening to wash away all forms of life! Well, suffer no longer!

This simple mod allows players and server owners to have a bit more control over when Minecraft rains/storms, and for how long.

Config:

 # Configuration file

####################
# rain
####################

rain {
 I:rainBreakConstant=12000
 I:rainBreakModulator=168000
 I:rainDurationConstant=12000
 I:rainDurationModulator=12000
}


####################
# thunder
####################

thunder {
 I:thunderBreakConstant=12000
 I:thunderBreakModulator=168000
 I:thunderDurationConstant=3600
 I:thunderDurationModulator=12000
}

The settings are simple. By modifying the break/duration constant/modulator, you can get more fine-tuned control over weather, while still keeping a sense of randomness. For example, with the values above, the duration of a rain storm could take anywhere from 12000 ticks to 180000 ticks.

: In this video, the modulator values were set to 0, and duration values set to 100

THIS IS AN ALPHA! YOU MAY NOTICE VARIOUS ISSUES, AND A COMPLETE LACK OF CRAFTING RECIPES!

THIS IS PRIMARILY TO GET THE CORE FEATURES OF THE MOD OUT, AND BUG REPORTS COMING IN!

RemoteIO is BACK!

Imagine a world where your contraptions aren't limited by the simple six sides to a block, or the fact that your machine is 50 chunks away from your massive mining operation

Sounds crazy, I know, but RemoteIO makes it possible!

The mod hinges around two key blocks, the Analyzer, and the Remote Interface.

By placing the Analyzer under any block in the world, it instantly becomes available anywhere else in the world. By shift-clicking said block, one can also set it to be broadcast along any several thousand frequencies, ensuring no interruptions, and having everything at your finger tips.

Finally, place down your Remote Interface and connect it to the same frequency. Instantly, your machine becomes accessible, functioning exactly as you would expect the original block to.

But that's not all, craft yourself a Pocket Gadget, and you can access your machine's interface as though you were standing right next to it. Need to smelt something in a hurry? Store some items? The Pocket Gadget is your friend!

• Use the Forge Installer (build 1045+) -Get Forge-
• Place ShetiPhianCore into your mods folder.
• Place EnderTanks into your mods folder.

To get the most out of EnderTanks you'll also need to install a mod with liquid transport like BuildCraft and ThermalExpansion.

ForgeAPI Universal v6.5.0 Build #498

There are many ways to move Liquids through dimensions and DireWolf20 has shown us some very creative ones (I liked his most recent one using turtles). But none are simple or compact.
After setting up a bucket system using EnderStorage by Chicken_Bones, I started wishing he would make a liquid version. Then thought why should he have to? there are other modders perfectly capable of doing so. So I did
The symmetry between EnderChest+Pouch inspired me to do the same with EnderTank+Bucket.

• EnderTanks will share storage with all other EnderTanks on the same network with the same color code.
• Clicking on a color band with a dye will change the tanks color code, and clicking on the tank with a diamond will move it to your personal network.
• When a tank is broken the color code is remembered, but not the network. Instead if the tank was on a private network the diamond used is dropped. A broken tank does not lose the liquid inside, even if it was the only one on the map.
• Liquids can be pumped in/out by connecting a pipe to the top/bottom. Buckets can also be used for manual filling/emptying.
• They also respond to redstone, while powered they will syphon from a tank above and/or empty into a tank bellow.
• To retrieve network and storage information just Right click on the tank.

• Any color of wool can be use in the recipe and will yield an EnderTank with all three color bands preset to the color of the wool used.
• You can also combined any EnderTank with a wool block to receive one will all the bands set to the wool color.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• EnderBuckets are the portable counterpart to EnderTanks, they have access to the same liquids as the EnderTank(s) in which they share a network and color code.
• Sneak + right clicking on an EnderTank will set the bucket to the tanks color and network
• Liquids can be picked up by right clicking and placed with Sneak + right clicking
• In creative mode:
The EnderBucket will act as an infinite source allowing you to place the liquid without decreasing the amount inside. (must have at least a buckets worth of liquid inside)
It will also act as an endless void, allowing you to pickup a liquid without increasing the the amount inside. (must have at least a buckets worth of space inside)

• Right click to display network and storage information.

• Any color of wool can be use in the recipe and will yield an EnderBucket with all three color bands preset to the color of the wool used.
• You can also combined any EnderBucket with a wool block to receive one will all the bands set to the wool color.
• Crafting is limited to only 16 color codes (all three colors the same)
You need to make an EnderTank and Sneak + right click to access all 4096 codes and private networks.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expand the storage capacity of a tank.

• EnderPearls add 8 more buckets, while EyesOfEnder add 16 more.
• This allow you to expand a tank from 32 buckets to 256. (14 Eyes, or 28 Pearls, or any combo of the two)
• This is a permanent increase for the tankid (network+colorcode), so if applied to a red/red/red tank on the global network, all red/red/red tanks on the global network get the upgrade.
• Changing the network or color code will change the capacity to what ever the new tankid has.

Pre-Minecraft 1.5
For JohnSmith by Freakscar
For Tiny Pixels by Vova Gendel

Do NOT not load a 1.6 world that had EnderTanks because the item form of the block wont correctly map to the block.

• Tank item doesn't have an icon
• Beaking a tank drops nothing
• Using creative mode pick block on a tank crashes the game

My best guess is its an incomplete Forge feature because it should be working, everything is registered the same between 1.6 and 1.7.

--

EnderIO incorrectly connects to the sides of tanks and "fills" them, this will result in loss. Only connect pipes to the top and bottom of the tanks.

--

V1.6 and older
RedPower Fluid Pipes:
Due to RP2 directly calling ILiquidTank.fill(LiquidStack, boolean) instead of using ITankContainer.fill(ForgeDirection, LiquidStack, boolean) the liquid is lost.

NOTE: this should be fixed in 1.7 due to the new ForgeFluid system, but was unable to test because there isn't a RedPower release

Rev15

• Cleaned up the jar.
An error in my newest build script cause some test files to make it into the rev14 jar that may cause mod incompatibility and/or crashes.

Rev14

• Minecraft 1.7.2 Support
• New, mod wide, version number system. Should eliminate confusion with Minecraft version numbers.
• Removed Thaumcraft Support (Only until it has an updated API)
• Do NOT use on a 1.6 world that contained EnderTanks. (see Known Compatibility Issues for details)

V1.7d

• Fixed WAILA support
• Fixed Standalone compatibility (no more errors if you don't have the BuildCraft API)
• More Minecraft 1.7 prep work, this should be the last 1.6 version needed before upgrading to 1.7

V1.7c

• Added WAILA support, with it installed you can get the tanks info just by looking at it
• Minecraft 1.7 prep work, If you want to keep your EnderBuckets when you update your world to 1.7 you must use this version first

V1.7b

• Fixed Bug preventing pipes from connecting to EnderTanks
• Fixed Bug preventing EnderBuckets from interacting with other tanks and devices

V1.7

• Minecraft 1.6.2
• Tank capacity can now be expanded
• Uses new Forge Fluid Registry, tries to auto resolve old liquids. use "/etank" if upgrading from an old world

V1.6

• Minecraft 1.5.2
• Tanks now hold 32 buckets (very popular request)
• Compiled with SrgNames so it should work with future minor Minecraft version updates too

V1.5

• Minecraft 1.5.1
• BugFix: EnderBuckets couldn't place liquids after compiled (reflection error )

V1.4

• Added config option to change item used for making tanks personal
• Added two more BuildCraft gate triggers, "Over Half Full" and "Under Half Full"
• EnderTanks now respond to redstone, while powered they will syphon from a tank above and/or empty into a tank bellow.

V1.3

• Small improvement to the way EnderBuckets place liquids into another liquid. Functions more like regular buckets now.
• RedPower Fluid Pipes no longer connect to EnderTanks. This is a temporary fix to the liquid loss when pumped in and will be reverted once it works correctly.

V1.2

• Added EnderBuckets
• You can no longer change the color bands of private tanks you don't own
• Owned Tanks can only be broken by the owner
• Added BuildCraft logic gate support
• In the config there is an option to change the color values used on the bands. Any users with color blindness or reduced color sensitivity, can now tweak the bands to values they can clearly distinguish between.

V1.1

• Minecraft 1.4.7
• Added recipe: EnderTank + wool changes all bands to wool color (suggested by xXMrSonXx)
• BugFix: render glitch on EnderTanks obtained through creative mode pick block

V1.01

• Corrected save location for Dedicated Servers

V1.0

• First public release
