Finer Peripherals

by minecraftbossdj

Finer Peripherals, a Fabric addon for CC: Tweaked, adds computer peripherals for reading chat, turtle facing and block state, and it needs the mod to run.

FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

The Chat Box peripheral lets a computer read and interact with in-game chat, a role similar to the chat box in Advanced Peripherals. Computers can react to what players type, which suits server-side scripts and automated announcements.

The Compass Turtle is a new turtle type that reports its facing direction, so programs can work out orientation without tracking it by hand. The Geo Explorer is a block scanner similar to the geo scanner in Advanced Peripherals, with extra functions for checking block states. It can read facing on the horizontal plane, vertical alignment such as top and bottom slabs or stairs, and redstone-powered states and power levels.

CC: Tweaked is required, and the mod is published only for Fabric. Files target 1.20.1 alone, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
