CC: Link
CC: Link is a Forge add-on for CC: Tweaked that gives computers a way to read blocks, entities and player data through a linked peripheral system.
What it does
CC: Link reimagines the Plethora peripheral approach for Forge. Its Link Core is linked to a computer, and the peripheral it exposes works similarly to a pocket computer, so a single peripheral can be equipped and used from the device. The mod is an interesting take on the Plethora idea rather than a copy of it, and its inspiration comes from running Plethora on Forge.
Scripts can raycast to find blocks and entities, read data about each one, and read a player's inventory. A Display custom HUD elements option draws content on the right side of the screen. Linking works with the Modem and Speaker peripherals, where a computer can get a position from them. CC: Link needs CC: Tweaked and Curios API to run, and it is built for the 1.20.1 release on Forge.
The mod is intended for players who already script with CC: Tweaked and want more ways to read the world. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides install it. Upgraded versions 3.0.0 and later are the ones that work with the integrated Link Core described in the author notes. For a wider set of peripherals, the author points to Unlimited Peripheral Works. The code is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
