Door To Babel [Ancient Technology Mod][FABRIC]

Description

"Et Sum Vivus"

 

"Door To Babel" is a large ancient technology mod, it focuses on transport of items and players as well as some other more staple "tech mod" things, such as basic ore processing and smelting

 

Door To Babel is split into 4 modules, Aqueducts, Optics and Mirrors, Springs and Clockwork and The Tower of Babel.

this video is the best example of what the mod has to offer, but also continue reading for other information

 

Aqueducts:

Scaffolding and winch line:

Text descriptions:

Aqueducts, Aqueduct corners and rotational drop aqueducts:

- main system for item transfer and for powering water wheels

- are placed facing opposite the players direction (hence you build an aqueduct system from the distributor)

- the b/i (buckets per instance) can be checked by clicking on them with a glass bottle

- will randomly dry up, unless its raining

 

Collectors and Distributors:

- the distributor is the "brains" of the aqueduct structure, it causes water to flow every 2 seconds (configurable) and populate the system

- collectors add 2 (or 4 when raining) b/i to an aqueduct system (this number decreases per aqueduct and corner)

- a hopper placed below a distributor and then at the very end of a system (see above image) can transfer items between them

 

Grinding Hopper and Water Elevator rotor/stack - rotational power

- Waterwheels require a speed of 5b/i from an aqueduct that is UP 1 and EAST 1 block from it, they will then eventually tick on

- Grinding Hoppers and Water Elevators require power by having a active waterwheel to the NORTH of them

- Grinding hoppers will grind items in a hopper above them and place the contents in a hopper below them

  -currently the grinder supports:

    -GRINDABLE = (Items.WHEAT,Items.IRON_ORE, Items.GOLD_ORE,Items.DIAMOND_ORE,Items.SANDSTONE,Items.QUARTZ_BLOCK);
     OUTPUTS = Arrays.asList(Items.BREAD, DoorToBabel.IRON_CHUNK,DoorToBabel.GOLD_CHUNK,Items.DIAMOND,Items.SAND,Items.QUARTZ);

 

- the water elevator needs a water elevator rotor at the bottom of it, which needs to be powered, it will transfer any item from the hopper below the rotor to the hopper above the highest stack

 

Scaffolding and Winch line:

- both auto-place if "spring-loaded" this is directly up for scaffolding and in the direction opposite to the player if winch line

- right-clicking on scaffolding moves you into it and removes fall damage (so holding the click at head height makes you climb it)

- right-clicking on winch-line will move you half a block below it so can be used to cross ravines, (or enter a crawling position)

- winch line can be rotationally powered to move blocks below it in the direction of the winch line, they will drop there inventory

 

Solar Furnace, Magnifying glass, and Solar Heat Ray

- all require to be in a biome above a configurable temperature (currently its 0.7 thats plains and above), to be in direct sunlight, and for it not to be raining

- solar furnace can cook any recipe a normal furnace can, using 1 hopper above and below again

- magnifying glass is basically a flint and steel

- solar heat ray shoots a beam up to 100 blocks that burns an entity it hits

 

Repeating crossbow:

- fires arrows if they are in the offhand ONLY, but fires them until the crossbow jams

- will jam 1/16 times, on a jam there is a 1/32 chance of the crossbow breaking

- cannot be enchanted [yet]

 

The Tower Of Babel:

- on placing the Solar Furnace and the Grinding Hopper in a world the tower will spawn at 10000 200 10000

- is a large structure that has a "Door To Babel" on the top at the center

- the door will take you to a dungeon dimension, you right click the Babel gates (as seen in the video) to open them

- will spawn a boss in one of the rooms, the key they drop can be used to go down to the next floor

- the dungeon floors are 3x3 then 5x5 then 7x7 etc

- have loot in them, and are made of unbreakable babelstone

 

NOTES: all items that get moved into a Hopper should pretty much always have a chest or another hopper below them to ensure good flow

 

Config: you can configure the temperature required for Mirrors and Optics blocks and the frequency ticking/processing blocks check for items

 

Potential future features:
- integration

- more grinding recipes

- expanded dungeon

- enchanting crossbow

- tiered blocks
