This mods looks awesome! Any chance of a datapack implementation?

[Yarden-zamir]

This feels like an amazing resource for modpacks and I'd love to use it, would it be possible to extend this a little to allow for datapack defined wnbois?

[SamsTheNerd]

That certainly sounds interesting ! I haven't really used data packs outside of recipes and tags, could you describe an example use case for it ?

[Yarden-zamir]

Example of how diesel generators mod adds new fuels data/createdieselgenerators/diesel_engine_fuel_types/milk.json

{
  "fluid": "#forge:milk",
  "sound_speed": 8,
  "normal": {
    "speed": 16.0,
    "strength": 1024.0,
    "burn_rate": 2
  },
  "modular": {
    "speed": 16.0,
    "strength": 1024.0,
    "burn_rate": 2
  },
  "huge": {
    "speed": 8.0,
    "strength": 1024.0,
    "burn_rate": 3
  }
}

example of how I can imagine your mod would work data/wnboi/varients/plank_based_blocks.json

{
    "entries":[
        "minecraft:oak_planks",
        "minecraft:oak_stairs",
        "minecraft:oak_fence"
    ]
}

This also means that other mods can add that sort of thing into their data folder and they will automatically get compatibility without hooking into any code

Sorry I'm not sure I follow, what would this actually do in game ?

I was thinking the wheel sections could be linked to data pack functions and then link the wheel to some item to use it with.

[Yarden-zamir]

My thought is that I use the wheel to cycle between items that are in the same list Datapack functions sound fun as well though.

I'm a part of the Modpack team Prepare to Dye and we have a system of devices which are categories of same type machines that can be converted between eachother on the fly. Currently we are using a keybind to open the stonecutter interface and use that to cycle. Your mod looks perfect for us for this usecase but I see that the way to define those currently is only through a mod addon

[Yarden-zamir]

Does that make sense?

[SamsTheNerd]

Yep makes sense ! (I missed the previous message sorry) WNBOI is just a library so this would be a feature for another mod. I can throw something together for it when I have time though.

[Yarden-zamir]

Ah I see. I would love that yea
