Create Mechanical Extruder
by oierbravo
Create Mechanical Extruder adds a kinetic block that produces blocks or items from the blocks and fluids placed around it, and it needs Create to run.
What it does
The extruder is a kinetic block from the Create mod. Adjacent blocks and fluids serve as inputs, and a matching recipe turns them into a new block or item. A filter lets the player choose which output is produced when more than one recipe matches the same inputs. Output can be pulled out by hand with a shift and right click on the block while holding nothing, or by automation such as a hopper or a belt-driven system.
Create Mechanical Extruder requires Create and Mechanicals Lib. Just Enough Items (JEI) and KubeJS are optional. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 across four release versions, and the code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the source code is open source. It is meant for modpacks and ships with only a small set of basic recipes.
Key features
Kinetic extruder block
The block runs from Create rotational power and turns adjacent inputs into a new block or item.
Output filter
When several recipes match the same inputs, a filter selects which output the extruder produces.
Manual extraction
Shift and right click with an empty hand pulls stored content out of the extruder.
Automated extraction
Content can also be removed through automation, so the output feeds into other machines.
