Kaleidoscope Contraption
by SShakusora
Kaleidoscope Contraption is a Forge and NeoForge compatibility addon that lets Kaleidoscope Cookery blocks work while they are moving inside Create contraptions.
What it does
Kaleidoscope Cookery blocks normally stay in one place. This addon registers interaction and movement behaviour for them, so a stove, pot or steamer keeps working once it is part of an assembled Create contraption such as a train, an elevator or a rotating assembly. A kitchen built from these blocks can therefore cook while it travels, turns or rises.
Four Create parts are named as the way to assemble a kitchen: the Mechanical Bearing for rotating kitchens, the Cart Assembler for mobile food trucks and trains, the Rope Pulley for vertical moving kitchens, and the Elevator Pulley for multi-floor setups. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Moving cooking blocks
Stoves, pots and other Kaleidoscope Cookery blocks keep their function after being assembled into a moving structure.
Wok and stockpot
The wok cooks stir-fries and the stockpot prepares soups and stews while the contraption is in motion.
Shawarma spit and steamer
The shawarma spit rotates and cooks on the go, and the steamer steams buns and dumplings inside a mobile kitchen.
Rotating and vertical kitchens
Bearings, cart assemblers, rope pulleys and elevator pulleys each move a kitchen in a different direction.
Cooked dishes
Recipes from Kaleidoscope Cookery, including Dark Cuisine, Fondant Pie, Dongpo Pork and Golden Salad, can be prepared on an assembled kitchen.
