This mod adds a new block into the game, the 'Research Machine'. It can accept up to 27 input stacks and has 9 output slots. This machine can be used to craft 16 types of 'research', one for each colour.

 

The block works similar to a crafting table, except its automated like a furnace with a 60 second craft time. And multiple items can be consumed from the same input slot, enabling very expensive crafts.

 

The research items do nothing on their own. This mod is designed to be used in mod packs where these items can be used in recipes and quests!

Modpack developers need to define what the recipes should be for these research items. This is done through datapacks. See spoiler below

In your datapack, include the file:

/data/research/recipes/white_research.json

{
  "type": "research:research_recipe",
  "ingredients" : [
    {
      "item": "minecraft:redstone"
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:redstone"
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:stone"
    }
  ],
  "result": {
    "item": "research:white_research",
    "count": 1
  }
}

 


Replace 'white' in the name and 'result' section of the JSON for each research type you want a recipe for. These recipes are shapeless. To have multiple of an item, simply include it multiple times as shown with redstone in the example above.
