Generator
by Furia
Generator adds a single block that passively produces cobblestone, lava, water and other items on Fabric for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2.
What it does
A generator block produces items passively. By default it outputs cobblestone, and a second default recipe has lava and water buckets placed inside it. The gallery page on the project shows how the generator works in practice.
The mod adds a new recipe type, so players and pack makers can define their own outputs through datapacks. Ingredients are positional, meaning each one is placed in a specific slot. Recipes follow a set format. The mod has been tested with Create's chutes, belts and funnels, and it supports Create's limestone lava and scoria lava recipes, which vanilla does not provide natively. Some setup is needed before the generator works with those recipes.
Generator is built for Fabric and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds exist for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with 0.1.0 for 1.20.2 as the latest file. The project is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
