Mechanical Trading Station
by oierbravo
Mechanical Trading Station adds a kinetic trading machine for Create, driven by rotation, that handles trades inside a Create-based factory line.
What it does
The mod adds a Trading Station block that works with Create's rotational power. The machine is a mechanical trading station type, so it turns trading into a process a rotating shaft can run. Integration with Create is part of the core design, and the station only functions as a Create kinetic machine.
Mechanical Trading Station requires Create, Mechanicals Lib and Trading station. Just Enough Items (JEI) and KubeJS are optional: JEI shows recipes and KubeJS scripts can reach the mod through the base mod. Jade integration is included, so the block under the crosshair can report its state. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Create trading support
The station is built for Create, so it fits into existing Create factory layouts alongside other kinetic machines.
Rotation-powered operation
The kinetic machine runs on rotation work, so a rotating shaft supplies the energy it needs to trade.
Mechanical trading station type
A dedicated station type gives the machine its own identity in the trading system, distinct from other trade blocks.
Jade readout
Jade integration shows the station's status when a player looks at it, without opening a separate screen.

Use cases
Automated trading lines
Server owners who run Create factories can place the station along a shaft and automate trades without a player present.
Who it’s for: Players who already run Create machinery and want trading to fit into the same rotational setup. Server owners on Forge or NeoForge who run Create on a shared world will find it most useful.
How it compares
Create: Trading floor is open source under the MIT License, works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and covers 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, so it reaches more loaders than this mod. Universal Trading is Forge-only, with files for 1.18.2 – 1.19.2, and it is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. Easy Coin System is also Forge and NeoForge, covers the same span of versions, and is not open source, licensed All rights reserved.
