Topic category: Help with modding (Java Edition)
Hey y'all,
So I'm relatively new to MCreator, but I want to learn more about how to make more advanced mods with it.
That being said, my first challenge is this:
I want to create a centrifuge machine that is powered by redstone so that the GUI displays "ON" when the machine is powered, and "OFF" when it's not. When the machine is OFF I want the machine to prevent the player from placing items in its input slot, and when the machine is ON, I want it to allow the player to place ONE of SPECIFIC items in the input slot, run for about 30 seconds, then output a newly created item, sorta like a furnace.
For my mod specifically, I'd like the centrifuge to take a bucket of milk, run for about 30 seconds while making a mechanical whirring sound, then output a bucket of cream instead, which would then be the basis for making other dairy products like butter, cheeses, whipped cream, etc.
Any ideas how I could do this? I tried setting up the procedures behind the GUI, but I'm totally confused
Any help would be appreciated! Thankies ^^
for displaying On/Off you could use an if statement with the "is block at x y z redstone powered" block as condition and set a string nbt tag to on or Off. This can be displayed by Labels in the gui, just click the text slot and scroll down to "<BNBT.text:tagName>" and click it. then you have to change "tagName" to the name you gave the nbt tag.
i think toggling the interactable state of slot can#t be done with procedures, you#d have to write some java code.
You can limit the slot to one specific item in the gui editor.
For the actual machine function, you should watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asuMnQNgKKE
