Create: Interval Filter

Create: Interval Filter adds one filter item that is placed in a Deployer's filter slot. Its block interval sets how many blocks a contraption travels between activations, and its initial offset delays the first activation by a set number of blocks. Together they let a contraption place items on exact repeating spacing, such as torches behind a mining drill or decorative patterns along walls and floors. Placement can start at the third block and repeat every tenth block, with an offset if the pattern needs to begin later.

Two execution modes decide how a miss is handled when placement does not land on the intended position. Strict mode skips that activation and keeps the pattern unchanged. The filter can also alternate between several items in a set sequence, or pick them at random. The filter works on contraptions that do not drive trains, and on moving contraptions that include a Deployer, such as one driven by a Mechanical Bearing. Installation needs Create Fabric on Fabric; on Forge and NeoForge the mod is used with Create itself, and it runs on client and server.
