Extended Peripherals

by dimmyjing

Extended Peripherals adds more functionality to the CC: Tweaked computer peripherals on Forge, letting programs read the block a peripheral is attached to.

ForgeServer-side onlyApache License 2.0Open source1.20.1

What it does

The mod extends the peripherals that CC: Tweaked provides, so a computer connected to a peripheral can query more information about the block it is attached to. Reported data includes the block's name, its block entity NBT data, including values that Minecraft and other mods add, and its block states. Block states describe properties such as facing direction and whether a furnace is lit, which programs can use to react to a block's current condition. The added functions follow the same conventions as the existing peripheral methods.

Extended Peripherals requires CC: Tweaked, which must be installed alongside it. Applied Energistics 2 is an optional dependency, and the mod works without it. The mod is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the only release is 1.20.1-0.1.0, dated 2025-06-25. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join. The code is under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Block name lookup

    A connected peripheral can report the name of the block it is attached to, so programs can identify what they are working with.

  2. Block NBT data

    Block entity NBT data is readable through the peripheral, including data written by other mods, for inspecting stored values.

  3. Block state reading

    Block states such as facing direction and whether a furnace is active can be read, so programs can respond to a block's condition.

  4. Consistent peripheral methods

    The added functions are exposed the same way as the built-in CC: Tweaked peripheral methods, so existing scripts follow the same pattern.
