Block Router
by mamiemru
Block Router adds a Forge router block that moves items between connected inventories and machines, with pattern filters for multi-step machine setups.
What it does
A router pulls items out of the block on one side and pushes them into neighbouring blocks. Its insertion and extraction sides can be set separately, so a router can take input from the top and deliver output from the bottom. The router only detects machines that are stacked on top of it, and it can scatter or retrieve items from connected inventories, including drawers.
Patterns let a router supply more complex machines, such as Mekanism infusing factories, where a recipe needs an exact number of each item. Players can encode a recipe so the router feeds, for example, one coal with eight sand into a vanilla furnace setup, and the mod also lists features still planned, such as energy generators, fluid routers and NBT filters. Block Router is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.19.2, and the mod is released under the MIT License without being open source.
