SFM-Flow

by ScottDTA

SFM-Flow is a NeoForge storage automation mod that lets players design machine logistics as interactive visual flowcharts on a graphical canvas.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Flowcharts are built on a canvas where each node is a step in a routine. Nodes stay in a compact standard size so the workspace stays readable, and gradient colors help group active routines. Right-clicking a node opens a menu to rename it, edit its settings, change its color, copy it or delete it. The central computer runs the flowchart logic, reads the cables it touches, and turns them into executable commands.

The mod adds network cables in standard and hardened variants, with hardened cables resistant to blasts for hazardous places. Observer cables detect block updates next to them without emitting redstone, and redstone emitters and receivers handle independent analog signals at levels 0 through 15. Item and fluid hatches use a 3x3x3 vacuum area to suck up ground items and fluids. Logic evaluations run off the main thread in dedicated daemon pools, so the game tick loop is not slowed down.

SFM-Flow is built for NeoForge 1.21.1 only and is published under the MIT License as open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is an alpha release: the author advises keeping normal backups and warns that API changes are still likely.

Key features

  1. Visual flowchart canvas

    Routines are designed and executed as interactive graphical flowcharts, which replaces writing machine logic by hand.

  2. Machine inventory manager

    The central computer lets flowcharts read and manage the inventories of connected machines.

  3. Hardened and observer cables

    Standard and hardened network cables carry the connections, and observer cables watch for adjacent block updates without emitting redstone.

  4. Analog redstone emitters

    Emitters and receivers manage independent multi-sided analog signals at levels 0 to 15 under flowchart control.

  5. Off-thread logic evaluation

    Calculations for flowcharts run on separate daemon threads, so the primary Minecraft tick is not slowed by them.
