Utility Module

KnightMiner edited this page Aug 8, 2019 · 13 revisions

The utility module is designed to add useful new tools to aid in survival. Some of these interact with redstone, while others are useful in other ways.

Utility

The utility module currently contains the following features:

Bricks Buttons

Pressed Bricks Button

Bricks buttons are buttons which look like a full brick block. One of the bricks on the block is slightly pressed in, and right clicking that brick will produce a redstone pulse.

This block comes in either clay brick or nether brick variants.

Carpeted Pressure Plate

A creeper triggering a pressure plate under carpet

Placing a carpet on a stone pressure plate conceals the pressure plate under the carpet, making it harder to see.

Carpeted Trapdoor

An open carpeted trapdoor, revealing a secret ladder

Crafting a carpet with a wooden trapdoor will create a carpeted trapdoor. When closed, this looks almost identical to a carpet block, but can be opened to reveal a secret passageway.

Collector

A collector grabbing a sapling that landed on the pressure plate

Collectors are a new block that can pull items from the world and inventories, similarly to a hopper. Unlike the hopper and similarly to a dropper, they can be placed in all six directions and require a redstone pulse to active. Additionally, they cannot place items into inventories, requiring a hopper to remove items from them.

Dispensers Fill Fluid Tanks

A dispenser filling a Ceramics barrel with water

Dispensers can now fill any fluid tank using a fluid container. This works with nearly any modded tank, plus vanilla cauldrons if the extended cauldrons is enabled in the recipes module. By default just vanilla iron and Ceramics clay buckets are supported, but more fluid items can be added in the config.

Torch Lever

Hit torch lever

Torch levers are levers which take the appearance of a torch. They have a slight red tint at the base of the texture, and can be right clicked to produce redstone power similar to a lever.

Trapped Book

Bookshelf emitting power

Placing a trapped book in a bookshelf will cause it to emit redstone power. The strength of the power is based on the slot of the book, from a strength of 2 at slot 1 to a strength of 15 at slot 14. This feature requires bookshelves from the building module to be enabled.

Pipe

A collection of hoppers and pipes connected to a chest

Pipes are a cheaper and more efficient version of hoppers. They can be placed in all 6 directions (though up is configurable) to push items into inventories. Unlike hoppers, pipes cannot extract items from other inventories or the world, so they require a hopper to start the chain.

Redstone Torch Lever

Redstone torch lever being toggled by a pressure plate

The redstone torch lever is similar to a lever, except it only emits redstone power into the block it is on. Additionally, it is highly sensitive to redstone changes, meaning if it receives redstone power on any side it will toggle its state.
