Inactive [FUN/MECH] Block Crusher v1.5 - Piston Crush & Compress [1060]

Block Crusher - Piston Crush & Compress​

Version: v1.5​

​

Features:​

Crushing - When extending pistons will crush blocks between themselves and a block of obsidian; if no obsidian's present then they will push blocks as normal.​

Compressing - Two pistons pushing blocks into the a space blocked by obsidian will cause the blocks to compress into a new block. ​

Both Fully Configurable​

You did it! Awesome, just fantastic! I'll be installing this post haste. Hello clay factory!

 

And your more then welcome to add my video on there if you like, I might make a new version tonight though i doubled production with tweaking my timing abit.

 

Cheers all

 

interesting now there are 3 plugins that all do the same thing your,mine,and his http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/fun-mech-piston-squeezer-v1-1-crush-blocks-with-pistons.24740/

 

I found one bug so far. If you have a piston facing down with an obsidian block below it, it will not 'crush' the block between them. All other directions work just fine.



And now for my overly complicated cobblestone harvester

 

Piston squeezer is different from two of your plugins because you don't need obsidian to crush blocks. You need two pistons to crush the block together just exactly the piston mod.

 

ok then there is 2 that are like this but three in function

 

Alright, next stage of creation:

Suggestion 1:
Allow a crushed item to produce multiples of another item. (configurable)
IE ~
Crush sandstone get 4 sand dust.
Crush cobblestone get 2 gravel.

Suggestion 2:

Multi-block recipes for the crusher.

From a top down perspective, it'd look like one of these configurations:

Code:

  P
  B
PBBBP
  O

Depending on the blocks placed in each of those positions, (The B's), it would create a new block. Under the Obsidian block you could have an 'activator block' that alters what is produced by the combined blocks.

Possible recipes:
With nothing:
Put four sand blocks produces 2 sandstone.
Put 2 coal ore, 2 wood blocks, get get 2 fire 'blocks'.
Put 1 sand, 1 wood, 1 cobble, 1 pumpkin ~ Get 1 Lapis Block

With Lava Under the Block:
Put a wood block (not planks) in each of the B spots and the X, and it will produce a coal (ore) block.
Put a coal (ore) in each of the B spots, and the X, and it would produce a diamond block.
Put 2 cobblestone and 2 coal, get an Iron Ore Block
Put 2 cobblestone and 2 iron ore, get a Gold Ore Block

These are just some basic ideas off the top of my head.

 

Quick problem; I have my crusher laid out like this (using a detector)
R=redstone, _ = empty space, T = repeater, P = piston, O = obsidian

_P_
R_T
_O_

Even if there is no wiring the block still gets "crushed" even though no power is going to the piston and even though the piston doesn't actually 'fire'/move.

ninjaedit: this is top down so this takes up 3x3x1

 

There i was hoping there were no bugs lol, I'll sort this tonight.

I might try something like this tonight but it probably won't be as complicated, I'd like to keep things a simple as possible.

From what I understand the pistons still being powered but notch must have coded it not to extend in this situation, I'll try to compensate for this tonight.

 

I've always kind of felt KISS was a generally ridiculous rule when taken to extremes. But you're the coder.

 

Its more because I don't want the plugin to cause unexpected results in people piston setups, the idea is to only use setups which no one would normally use (i.e. why would some create a piston pushing against an obsidian block).

What I'll probably add is a two block setup:
__P_______P = Piston
__B_______B = Block
O B B P___O = Obsidian
__O

Where the block in bold/italic is compressed into a new type depending on the blocks underlined.

 

"Its more because I don't want the plugin to cause unexpected results in people piston setups"
Counterargument:
*laughs* with increasing complexity it's unlikely that anyone would mistakenly use it anyway. But like I said, you're the coder. Glad you seem to like the ideas.

 

Just to give you all an update, I've fixed all the bug mentioned so far and i'm in the middle of adding the extra functionality.
Going to have to complete it tomorrow though as i'm tired and need sleep.

 

latest 2 changelog entries need to be outside the spoiler

 

I the idea it was.
Nice plugin thought

 

Just released version 1.1 with new functionality, see first post for details.

I think they've all got there own spin on the concept, I wonder how similar our coding solutions are.

if you want to look ill give you the source

 

Sounds good, I don't mind trading... You never know what you'll find lol.

oh and off topic whats the texture pack you used in the video?

Its a customized version of John Smith's

 

No chance for Permissions I guess?

btw, from log: [BlockCrusher version: 0.1] - Enabled

===

Otherwise, really cool plugin, but as I don't play much myself, I am struggling to see the use, other than a cobble factory with lava+water I suppose?

I mean, you dig up a stack of sand, then place sandblocks, to turn them back into single sand blocks? What am I missing

 

The ability to personalize it. I'm certain you're able to determine what comes out of the compress.
Iron Ore + Coal Ore = Red Stone Ore? For example. Or anything your little heart can imagine.

Suggestion:
Can you make the output variable?
Example:

Crush One Smooth Stone:
100% Chance of Cobblestone
10% Chance of Redstone Dust
5% Chance of Iron Ore
1% Chance of Diamond
Etc

Hah yea of course, but many plugins do that. Am really thinking of something unique with the specialness of pistons

But can only come up with cobble factories really.

 

There's an insane use for it if you're looking at production facilities.

Lava dumps, water cools, cobble goes to crusher, becomes gravel, gravel gets pushed into a water stream (using claygen), becomes a clay block, and is pushed into another crusher, becoming clay dust, clay dust is processed into bricks.

Now we just need one the guy who made the sticky pistons able to pull things in/out of chests make it able to do that with item entities, and we can add another step.

Dust is pushed into a furnace, becomes bricks, which gets pulled out and stuffed in a chest.

 

Lol yeah, that's one of two bugs I've found since v1.1 (the others just a tweak in behavior).

Does anyone have any more suggestions for this plugin? As I have an idea for a performance plugin which I'll shift my attention to.

 

Thanks! I forgot claygen existed, I see it has a farming mode now, makes it a lot more interesting

 

Suggestion:
1. Place a chest on top of the obsidian, and one on top of the piston. It will pull items from the chest on top of the piston, crush it, and place it in the chest on top of the obsidian. (Or beside, or under, or whatever.) For the compressor you put one chest on each piston, and one under the center square (where compression happens). You a chest on one block of obsidian, it will place the results in that chest.

 

Further Suggestion:
1. Allow the rock compressor to spit out multiple (and possibly variable #'s of) blocks or item entities. I currently have a recipe for "Coal Ore + Glowstone + Redstone Ore" I'd like to have kick out 4-8 gunpowder, for instance.
