Phantomfaces?
Opened this issue · 3 comments
In Random Things there was a block capable of mimicking a block it was linked to and allowing it to be copied almost an indefinite amount of times as long as it was 15 blocks, this block was insane for increasing throughput on say a hopper connecting to a chest. I would enjoy seeing an implementation of that block in a version beyond 1.12
I think if I were to implement this, it would be only extending neighbouring blocks specifically, i.e. a placeable "proxy" block that would act the same as the block it's placed against. Actual phantomfaces (pseudo-wireless access) seem like something that another mod should add, if at all, since I would like to keep things balanced around vanilla in GAG
So, talking to some other folks who have either (a) done Phantomfaces in the past or (b) encountered issues with proxy blocks like them in the past, I think that a block that can allow arbitrary capabilities and menus and such to be proxied (like my idea in the comment above) would most likely not be a good idea, however that doesn't mean that I couldn't introduce capability-specific versions like item / fluid / energy proxies which would basically then just be short-range Phantomfaces (or rather, more akin to Transvector Interfaces from Thaumic Tinkerer if you remember that mod)
i would be also that the tick acceleration would work with phantom faces but dont know if that is possible or not
extra utilites did this but dont know how could that be possible that the tick acceleration accelerates the block that the phantom face is linked to?
