Lake's CC Additions
by lakehouse
Lake's CC Additions lets ComputerCraft computers read physical items and write data back out, and it adds printing, photo and stamp tools for Forge.
What it does
Lake's CC Additions adds peripherals that link CC: Tweaked computers to the physical world. A block with a single slot can be read as a peripheral, so a computer can inspect what is inside a chest, shulker box or other container and see its contents without opening it. Items can also be written to from Lua, including complete NBT data, which is returned together with a SHA-256 fingerprint. The same link works in the other direction, so a program can place or move items as well as read them. Hoppers can feed the slot from above and take from below, which lets a computer sit in the middle of an automated line.
The printing side covers paper documents. A printer block can build printed pages straight from Lua, including per-character colors, and a photo tool captures Exposure photographs and turns them into greyscale prints that are dithered across a grid of pages to make a poster. Pen and stamp items let players mark up pages and place pre-configured emblems, seals or logos on official documents. A scanner reports events when items change, and sneaking with an empty hand sends a player's name and UUID to the computer, which can be used for door locks and clock-in stations with a few lines of Lua. Pocket computers accept one upgrade slot for an ender modem or speaker.
The mod requires CC: Tweaked on Forge, and Exposure is optional for the photograph features. The latest Forge file, 1.7.0 for 1.20.6, was published on 2026-07-17. Both the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license without being open source.
