0/10, would not recommend. Though increasingly feeling that about
modding as a whole — really not feeling as emotionally rewarding as it
once did.
Server-side changes are well, not simple, but relatively straightforward:
- Block removal code is now called before the BE is removed, not after.
- Monitors now need to track if they've being removed or not again.
- Turtle drop consuming code no longer tries to insert items into
the turtle immediately, instead waiting 'til the action is
complete. Otherwise if the turtle gets destroyed mid-action
(e.g. the block explodes), then it tries to insert its drops into
itself!
We previously guarded against this by checking if the turtle BE had
been removed, but obviously this no longer works, so just easier to
shift the insertion.
- The interface for reading/writing NBT has been overhauled. It has
native "getOr" and codec support (nice!) but also has been changed
again in the latest snapshot (less nice!).
- The dye item component no longer has a "hide tooltip" flag. We now
hide the tooltip with a default component instead.
- Related to the above, we can now do all the tooltip-related things we
needed to do with vanilla's TooltipProvider. This did require
splitting NonNegativeId into subclasses for disk/computer, but
otherwise is quite nice.
- Some changes to model datagen. Annoying, but boring.
- Game tests got a complete overhaul. I'm keeping the interface the
same for now (@GameTest), because I'm blowed if I'm datagenning test
instances :p. If it's any consolation, both NF and Fabric are doing
this too.
Client changes are a bit more involved though:
- VertexBuffer has been entirely removed. We now construct the
GpuBuffer directly.
- BakedModel is gone! Oh this caused so much suffering for turtle
models. I ended up rewriting the whole system in processes (which
then involved PRs to NF and Fabric). Rather than returning a
TransformedModel, turtle models are now responsible for rendering the
model.
This may see another rewrite in the future. I'd like to switch to
JSON-based turtle models (like item models), but that's blocked on
some changes to NF right now.
Sorry to all add-on devs, I know this is a big change.
CC: Tweaked is a mod for Minecraft which adds programmable computers, turtles and more to the game. A fork of the much-beloved ComputerCraft, it continues its legacy with improved performance and stability, along with a wealth of new features.
CC: Tweaked can be installed from Modrinth. It runs on both Minecraft Forge and Fabric.
Contributing
Any contribution is welcome, be that using the mod, reporting bugs or contributing code. If you want to get started developing the mod, check out the instructions here.
Community
If you need help getting started with CC: Tweaked, want to show off your latest project, or just want to chat about
ComputerCraft, do check out our GitHub discussions page! There's also a fairly populated,
albeit quiet IRC channel on EsperNet, if that's more your cup of tea. You can join #computercraft through your
desktop client, or online using KiwiIRC.
We also host fairly comprehensive documentation at tweaked.cc.
Using
CC: Tweaked is hosted on my maven repo, and so is relatively simple to depend on. You may wish to add a soft (or hard)
dependency in your mods.toml file, with the appropriate version bounds, to ensure that API functionality you depend
on is present.
repositories {
maven {
url "https://maven.squiddev.cc"
content {
includeGroup("cc.tweaked")
}
}
}
dependencies {
// Vanilla (i.e. for multi-loader systems)
compileOnly("cc.tweaked:cc-tweaked-$mcVersion-common-api:$cctVersion")
// Forge Gradle
compileOnly("cc.tweaked:cc-tweaked-$mcVersion-forge-api:$cctVersion")
runtimeOnly("cc.tweaked:cc-tweaked-$mcVersion-forge:$cctVersion")
// Fabric Loom
modCompileOnly("cc.tweaked:cc-tweaked-$mcVersion-fabric-api:$cctVersion")
modRuntimeOnly("cc.tweaked:cc-tweaked-$mcVersion-fabric:$cctVersion")
}
You should also be careful to only use classes within the dan200.computercraft.api package. Non-API classes are
subject to change at any point. If you depend on functionality outside the API (or need to mixin to CC:T), please file
an issue to let me know!
We bundle the API sources with the jar, so documentation should be easily viewable within your editor. Alternatively, the generated documentation can be browsed online.
