- Abstract peripheral ID and type checking into separate class
- Update peripherals directly rather than marking as invalid then
fetching from the network.
- Update peripherals when adjacent tiles change
This does result in a slightly more ugly interface, but reduces the
amount of work needed to perform partial updates of peripherals, such as
those done by neighbouring tile updates.
Forge's default fake player implementation doesn't override all methods
which use the connection. As it is not set, we get an NPE and thus crash
the server. We simply stub those methods out ourselves to prevent such
an issue.
When initially attaching a modem, the adjacent computer would not show
up on its own peripheral list (like in vanilla CC). However, it would
show up when the chunk was reloaded as peripherals were added through a
different method.
This prevents such behaviour, always hiding the remote peripheral from
the object which provides it.

Shaders appear to ignore all the other subtle (and not-so-subtle) hints
we drop that monitors shouldn't be rendered with shadows. This solution
isn't optimal, as monitors may still be tinted due to sunlight, but
there is nothing we can do about that.
Many thanks to ferreusveritas for their help in diagnosing, fixing and
testing this issue.
Shader mods may perform multiple passes when rendering a tile, so
monitors will be drawn transparently on later passes. In order to
prevent this we allow drawing the a single tile multiple times in a
tick.
The two recipes are pretty similar, so this allows us to substantially
simplify the code. This now introduces the additional requirement that
computers must be used to create turtles, rather than pocket computers
or another turtle.
This adds IComputerItem.withFamily(ItemStack, ComputerFamily) as well as
a ComputerFamilyRecipe class. Each type of computer (normal, turtle,
pocket) defines a recipe using this class, as they require a different
number of gold ingots to upgrade.
These act similarly to conventional wired modems, but with the advantage
that they are a full block. This means they can be attached to
peripherals which are not solid (such as chests). Further more, as they
do not have a direction, they allow wrapping peripherals on all 6 sides.
It's worth noting that wired modems do not require a cable - they will
automatically form connections to adjacent network elements when placed.
There are several important things to note here:
- The network element is associated with the cable, whilst the
peripheral (and so packet sender/receiver) is associated with the
modem. This allows us to have the main element be in the centre of
the cable block, whilst the modem is in the centre of the adjacent
computer.
- Cables will connect to any adjacent network element, not just
other cables.
- Rednet messages are now sent on the computer thread, rather than the
cable tick.
The API is composed of three primary classes:
- IWiredElement: Represents some physical entity in the network. This
will generally be a block (such as a cable or modem), but it is not
required to be.
Each element can provide a series of peripherals, which will be
exposed to other elements on the network.
- IWiredNode: Every wired element has a unique wired node. This acts
as a thread-safe proxy for communicating with the rest of the
network (such as sending packets). Each node is also its own packet
network.
- IWiredNetwork: This is responsible for keeping track of nodes and
peripherals in the network. It provides methods for forming and
breaking connections, correctly joining and splitting networks where
needed.
Tiles which wish to be part of a wired network should implement
IWiredElementTile or register a custom IWiredProvider. When loaded into
the world, it should connect to adjacent nodes. Similarly, when removed
(either due to being broken or chunk unloads), it should break those
connections.
There is no method to query the layout of the network, as that offers
greater flexibility in changing or extending the implementation later
on.
This provides a mechanism for peripherals to see what else a computer is
connected to - and then interact with those peripherals.
We also add the ability to query what block or tile a peripheral
targets. This allows one to interact with the original block of adjacent
peripherals instead.
Mostly intended for those people who don't like .inspect() or
.getItemDetail(), but could allow modpacks to block equipping upgrades,
placing blocks, etc...
The main aim of this is to allow for greater extensibility for other
mods. For instance, you can now prevent turtles placing dirt blocks, or
turning when on gravel.
As of #458, BlockPeripheral will act as a full/opaque block for some
peripherals and a transparent one for others. However, some Block
methods use the default state rather than the current one. This means
modems report being a full block when they are not, leading to
suffocating entities and lighting glitches.

This restructures monitor in order to make it thread-safe: namely
removing any world interaction from the computer thread.
Instead of each monitor having their own terminal, resize flag, etc...
we use a monitor "multiblock" object. This is constructed on the origin
monitor and propagated to other monitors when required.
We attempt to construct the multiblock object (and so the corresponding
terminal) as lazily as posible. Consequently, we only create the
terminal when fetching the peripheral (not when attaching, as that is
done on the computer thread).
If a monitor is resized (say due to placing/breaking a monitor) then we
will invalidate all references to the multiblock object, construct a new
one if required, and propagate it to all component monitors.
This commit also fixes several instances of glLists not being deleted
after use. It is not a comprehensive fix, but that is outside the scope
of this commit.
- Ensure usage is consistent
- Allow computer selectors to return multiple values
- Fix commands being marked as usable when it isn't
- Add /computercraft turn-on, a counter to /computercraft shutdown
As tiles outside the world border are not ticked, turtles are rendered
entirely useless. Furthermore, the turtle animation will never progress
resulting in visual glitches.
In order to avoid this, we ensure the target position is within the
world border when moving to it.
