This library/mod aims to reduce the amount of boilerplate code required to implement blocks with inventories and menus.

About

Before MachineLib existed, Galacticraft used UniversalComponents to handle inventories, then LibBlockAttributes. When we were stuck waiting for these libraries to update, I decided to try and make my own implementation using the newly standardized transfer api, and created MachineLib.

Features

• Builder-style resource storage (inventory) creation
  • Slot resource filtering
  • Define slot locations in one place
  • Define acceptable external block interactions and player interactions by setting a slot’s type
• Comes with a base BlockEntity implementation
  • Supports player-configurable resource I/O interactions with adjacent blocks
  • Minecraft redstone (de)activation
  • Supports storage of items, fluids and energy
  • Additional utilities for blocks dealing with Minecraft’s recipe system
• Comes with extensible GameTests
  • Can automatically verify machine functionality
