[Feature Request] Automatic renaming device #27

Closed scmcgowen closed 10 months ago

scmcgowen commented 1 year ago

This block would allow a computer to automatically rename items by putting items into its slot, running peripheral.rename(name:string) on it and then pulling the item from the block's inventory suggested crafting recipe: image

Thanks for the feature request. I can't think of any way to make this work within the paradigm of CC without introducing a whole new block. It's not trivial, or expected, for other peripheral mods to interact with CC's item transfer functions. And adding a whole new block for this just seems overkill.

The most CC-native approach that comes to mind is allowing turtles to use anvils in the same way as crafting tables, making use of a number of their internal slots, but you still have to consider how XP would be spent, and I don't think fuel is an appropriate equivalent.

With those points in mind; unless something really good comes along, I don't think I'm going to implement this.
