[feature] Decompiler #4

Open Merith-TK opened 1 year ago

Merith-TK commented 1 year ago

Just an request for an sibling block to the printer, where it decompiles items into XP at about 1/4th the cost it would take to PRODUCE the item,

say STONE takes 13 bottles of enchanting, (12 for example), decompiling Stone returns 3 bottles of enchantings worth of xp

make the recipie like, the same as the Printer, but take a printer instead of a diamond block, (for balancing reasons)

Interesting idea. I have a few questions, though:

  1. What power do you think the Decompiler would run on?
  2. Do you have any visual appearance for the block in mind?
  3. Since it only produces one thing, there'd be no need to display an item being printed. The input item could perhaps be displayed with another screen on the block, or it could be a traditional machine with a GUI you could open like a furnace; any preference?

  1. The 3/4ths experience of the item that you dont get back (technically, or could use TechReborn power)

  2. not really? was thinking close to the printer, but with a red top, and DOES NOT automatically decompile, requires redstone pulse to trigger (like a button) incase you put something you dont want to decompile into it. (another redstone pulse could cancel it at any point between activation and finishing)

  3. maybe displayed on screen and as an "Hologram" but with the reverse animation, instead of "fade in", it "fades out", the screen could probably show an red bar behind the item as it "decompiles" showing the progress
