Allow the Redstone Wire Connector from Immersive Engineering to be used as a peripheral, with an API to control it's input/output status and its redstone colour.

Additional context
https://ftb.gamepedia.com/Redstone_Wire_Connector_(Immersive_Engineering)

For some reason, CC:Tweaked does not properly read the colour of IE's redstone signals through it's redstone wires and connectors. (getBundledInput() does not return a colour). This would allow a computer to still send a coloured redstone signal in IE by changing the colour of the connector before sending a signal.

I've tried talking to the IE mod team, and they don't seem interested in finding out why it's not working properly. This is a bit of an indirect, but functional, fix. Not really your problem, but would be massively appreciated!

In the Documentation of the Player Detector the event which fires when a player clicks the block is not "chatEvent" it is "playerClick".

Versions:

• Forge version: 1.16.5-36.1.0
• AdvancedPeripherals version: 0.4.3.1b

I have noticed that ME and RS Bridges retrive() command is using cardinal directions for chest/target to retrieve items into.

I would like suggesting changing this logic from cardinal direction to one used by CC:T inventory system where one can target any chest/inventory on same wired network as ME Bridge is.

Basically CC:T implementation allows to move items along the wired network between valid inventories as long as they are on same wired network. See: https://tweaked.cc/generic_peripheral/inventory.html for how it is implemented.

Example: chest.pushItems("minecraft_chest_5", 4) moves items from one chest to another.
With suggested change retrieve("minecraft:stone", 64, "minecraft_chest_5") would pull items from ME/RS system into the "minecraft_chest_5" on the wired network ME/RS Bridge is on.

Reasoning
In my opinion it would make it more consistent with CC:T way of transmitting items and extend it.
Additionally it would allow to simplify depositing items directly into target point on wired network instead of retrieving to sidechest and then pushing from that chest along wired network to target.

Describe your feature idea
A way to read the player inventory, would be nice if you can stand on a block or click it and get info about the items in your inventory, or maybe as a module for a pocket computer.

Would also be nice if you can directly move items in the player inventory so you can write sorting scripts and stuff like that

Describe your feature idea
Make a special computer or turtle that can take on any texture in the pack or be spray painted with custom designs. That can be saved out as a custom models that can imported into other packs with the same mod.

Describe your feature idea
Some additional methods for the Environment Detector I feel would be useful:

Chunk:

• isSlimeChunk() returns a boolean

Dimension:

• getDimension() returns a string of the current dimension
• isDimension(STRING) returns a boolean
• listDimensions() returns a table of the dimensions generated in the current world file.

Moon:

• getMoon() returns two variables, a number and string, indicating the phase of the moon (as shown here https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Moon#Phases)
• isMoon(PHASE) returns a boolean

Weather:

• getWeather() returns a string
• isRaining, isSnowing, isThunderstorm, etc returns a boolean

Liquid:

• getLiquid(NAME, RANGE) returns a boolean if a certain liquid is found in range

Describe alternatives you've considered if you've any
-Some may be different enough to warrant their own block/component.
-You could also handle them as upgrade chips for the environment detector. (The detector could have a slot, or slots, to accept upgrades that allow use of the methods.)

Additional context
I'm more interested in the slime chunk method, but all these could be useful.
Apologies if you would prefer these as separate requests, but I felt organizing them by peripheral would be better.

Something that I wish I could do, is detect radiation from Mekanism. Mekanism itself does not have any redstone or block-based radiation detection equipment. This would be useful for warning people of radiation at a location.

I tried to export a enchanted book with a me-bridge into a chest.
'listItems()' shows:
{ { amount = 1, displayName = "Enchanted Book", name = "minecraft:enchanted_book", nbt = "{StoredEnchantments:[{lvl:1s,id:\"minecraft:mending\"}]}" } }

exporting with 'exportItem("minecraft:enchanted_book",1,"down")' gives the following error:
Item minecraft:enchanted_book does not exist in the ME system or the system is offline

I can export other items with the same setup no problem. I also have problems with other items and they all have in common that they have nbt data and AE2 lists them as different items with the same name.

Other mods use some kind of hash over the nbt data do differentiate between those items and sometimes give the option to ignore nbt data completely. For example here, here. One solution would be to use the normal name like now to extract items while ignoring the nbt data so already written programs don't break but use something like this to extract specific items. To use this 'listItems()' needs an entry with the hash for every item in the system.

Quite simply Integrated Dynamics has so far been a fantastic tool for data retrieval and formatting, however lackluster in processing (or quite possibly my ability to use it is lackluster). Integrated Dynamics already uses standard classes as it is, (string, int, double, list... what have you.) so being able to simply import the variables from variable cards would be extremely helpful! unless I am unaware of some existing compatibility I don't understand, regardless it would be great to streamline it as a peripheral.

Describe

Typing in chat creates a massive lag spike. The tick in which the messages are processed ends up lasting for (tens of seconds to multiple minutes). The time is getting progressively longer on our server.

Reproduce

Currently we have a world with a self propelling mining machine built with Create. The machine is being chunk loaded using 4 chunky turtles. Three of those turtles are attached to the miner itself, and are moved by Create, and the last turtle moves by itself. These are the only cc-tweaked computers or turtles that exist in the world. This miner has moved roughly 55,000 blocks and the issue seems to be getting worse the longer the world (and the miner) run.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make a self-propelling flying machine with Create.
2. Attach a chunky turtle to the machine.

• I suspect any kind of turtle will do.

3. Let the machine run for a long time.
4. Try typing messages in chat and there should be a lag spike as the message is processed.

Suspected Cause
Profile when typing a chat message: https://spark.lucko.me/jImuCwBmBz

For context, I am a Java programmer, but I'm not a forge modder. Based on my understanding of the source code, this is what I think is causing the issue.

When a chat message is sent, it is handled by the Events class. Those event handlers then both call getTileEntities from the TileEntityList. In the case of my world, getTileEntities takes a very long time.

As far as I can tell, the TileEntityList is supposed to be a cache of tile entities relevant to advanced peripherals. If my understanding is correct, then in theory this should only have 4 entries for the 4 turtles in my world. Given how long the tick times are taking when processing messages, I suspect that this cache is instead growing without having entries properly removed. Not sure if this is a result of them being moved by Create or just that they have moved a large number of blocks.

Suggestions
Here are some suggestions. I'm not super aware of the intricacies of forge, but here are some options to optimize the getTileEntities call.

• Only subscribe to the server chat event once, and only iterate through the cache of tile entities once. Based on the type of tile entity then delegate to separate methods to handle it for either the turtles or the computers. This would remove one of those two calls to getTileEntities.
• Consider using a Set instead of a List for the underlying data structure. See TileEntityList.java#L21. This would avoid the need to do contains checks when adding items to the cache. It would also make contains checks significantly faster with large numbers of entries.
• It looks like setTileEntity is a toggle for whether a tile entity block position should be included in the cache. If it is already in the cache, remove it. Otherwise, if it isn't in the cache add it. I would suggest switching this to two methods addTileEntity and removeTileEntity to avoid accidentally removing a tile entity when trying to add it or vice versa, which should make it easier to ensure the cache is updated correctly. I think this would avoid the need for the setTileEntity method with the force parameter too.

There are a few potential issues with getTileEntities itself.

    public List<TileEntity> getTileEntities(World world) {
        List<TileEntity> list = new ArrayList<>();
        for (BlockPos next : new ArrayList<>(getBlockPositions())) {
            if (world.isAirBlock(next) || !world.isBlockLoaded(next))
                setTileEntity(world, next); //No block here anymore.
            if (world.getTileEntity(next) == null)
                setTileEntity(world, next); //No tile entity here anymore.
            list.add(world.getTileEntity(next));
        }
        return list;
    }

1. It starts by iterating through the different block positions, but if setTileEntity is called, then it needs to iterate through all of them again when it's performing the contains check in setTileEntity here. This makes this a very expensive method to run if the cache is large since the check is O(n^2).
2. Even if the tile entity was removed from the list by the first if statement, it seems like it could potentially be re-added by the second if statement. This is not something I'm super familiar with, but it seems like it's reasonable that a block could be air and have the tile entity at that position be null at the same time. Since currently, setTileEntity toggles whether the block position is in the cache. The net result is that the position that should have been removed twice instead remains in the cache. Finally, even if it was removed from the cache, it is still added to the final result List to be returned, which seems like the wrong behavior.

Expected

• measures the throughput and allows to limit it
• input and output of the Energy Detector are always the same
• no energy is lost (or only a bit as energy consumption of the Energy Detector)

Observed

2. now it drains any available energy on the input and voids the excess
   • multiple in parallel share the input evenly
   • limiting the throughput works, but it is used up to max even without an attached cable
3. two of our Energy Detectors are limited to 0 and don't have an input source attached, but still report a throughput of last time it was transmitting power

When computers use the peripheral api on an unsupported block entity, it instead return a table that contains get methods for getting each value in that nbt table. These functions would not allow you to edit the nbt data. That way you can still collect data from mods that might not be supported.

Describe alternatives you've considered if you've any
There could also be a different api that wraps this behavior, but I believe that peripheral api would make the most sense.

Additional context
I think this was a feature in one of the many peripheral mods back it the day, because I distinctly remember using it with redpower 2 to get the energy levels in batteries.

Right now the only information I can find on this mod is that it does... stuff.

Please consider hosting textual documentation, similar to sites like https://tweaked.cc.

Describe your feature idea
Right now you can only send strings. I think it would be cool if you could send arbitrary components like the tellraw command. For example, you could send a clickable component that, when clicked, sends a command for the computer.

Minecraft already has facilities for converting JSON to text components, and back again. Perhaps you could convert a Lua table to JSON, then convert it to a component? And then add some event for receiving incoming text components, which would be like the same but in reverse.

Describe alternatives you've considered if you've any
N/A

Additional context
§-codes can be buggy, and you can't do interactive content like tooltips and click actions.

Since it is possible to name blocks with the anvil it would be nice to have a function 'getName()' to get back the assigned name of a block.

This would make identifying different storage networks much easier if there are more then one connected to a computer/network without relying on the computercraft given names or other hacks to identify connected blocks.
