Big John Machine
by Miron3388
Big John Machine is a NeoForge technology block that turns powered redstone into output and pairs with a Big Bad John record.
What it does
Players who want a powered machine for 1.21.8 can craft the Big John Machine block from 4 diamonds and 4 emeralds around a Big Bad John record. A redstone signal activates the block once it has power. Files target 1.21.8 only, and the mod is published for NeoForge with the client and server both needed.
Key features
Redstone-activated block
The machine block switches on when it receives powered redstone, so it can sit in a circuit.
Big Bad John record
A record item is crafted from one plank with 4 diamonds set around it, and it works as a component of the machine.
Diamond and emerald recipe
Crafting the Big John Machine block takes 4 diamonds and 4 emeralds, plus the Big Bad John record in the recipe.
