Contraption
Contraptions are customizable moving structures.
Obtaining
Contraptions can be made by using contraption controllers such as Bearings, Cart Assemblers, Gantry Carriages, or Mechanical Pistons.
Usage
Multiple blocks can be moved with the use of Linear Chassis, Radial Chassis, or Super Glue. Blocks that attach to other blocks, such as Levers, Sails, or Torches, will automatically become part of the Contraption.
A Mechanical Bearing can be added to a Contraption to attach a second Contraption that keeps one alignment as the structure moves. It can be attached at any orientation.
World Interaction
Contraptions can carry items, liquids, or mobs, provided they have a storage block, Fluid Tank, or Seats, respectively. Contraptions can also carry entities using only their collision. In addition, Doors and Trapdoors can be interacted with on active contraptions.
Contraptions can use the Deployer, Fluid or Storage Interface, or the Mechanical Saw, Drill, Harvester or Plough to interact with the world. They will stall while breaking blocks or using interfaces.
Contraptions will not collide with blocks unless the appropriate world interaction block makes the collision.
History
| Version | Changes |
|---|---|
| Version 0.3.2: | Obsidian can no longer be moved by Contraptions. Doors and Trapdoors on Contraptions can now be interacted with. |
| Version 0.3.1: | Slime blocks on moving contraptions are now bouncy. Ice blocks on moving Contraptions are now slippery. Deployers can use Schematics to place blocks accordingly. |
| Version 0.3: | Added Contraptions mounted between two minecarts. Dispensers, droppers, and bells now work on contraptions. Mechanical Bearings stabilize the rotation of another contraption on a contraption. |
| Version 0.2: | Contraptions stall when performing certain actions. Contraptions automatically fill their inventories with outputs from world-interaction blocks. |
| Version 0.1: | Added. |
