GoonieSandersLocalExpanders
by tr4shy
Local expanders for CC: Tweaked let computers on a machine read Lua scripts from its own folder, so a script can be copied in and run without typing it by hand.
What it does
GoonieSandersLocalExpanders is a client-side Lua loader for CC: Tweaked. It mounts a folder from the player's own machine inside the game, so a ComputerCraft computer or turtle can reach scripts stored locally, including a copy placed under the rom/programs directory, where they start immediately. The code is released under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
The mod is built for the case where scripts already exist on disk and need to reach computers in a world. Scripts are copied straight from a developer machine into the mounted folder, and the mod does not fetch code from the network. The description also says the mod is installed by placing the jar in the mods folder, and it targets two loaders, Forge and NeoForge. CC: Tweaked is required, and the mod needs it installed alongside it.
Files are published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The latest Forge build is 1.0.0.FORGE for 1.20.1, dated 2025-12-18, and the latest NeoForge build is 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, dated 2025-10-22.
