Enderthing Mod — Reference
Blocks
The mod adds a specialized version of the Ender Chest that functions as the primary interface for the global storage network.
Ender Chest (Enderthing)
Unlike the vanilla Ender Chest, the Enderthing Ender Chest displays three colored bands on its lid. These bands represent the inventory's unique ID.
- Functionality: Any Enderthing Ender Chest with the same color code will point to the exact same inventory, regardless of where it is placed in the world.
- Interaction: Players can right-click the chest to open the inventory. To change the color code, players can use dyes directly on the three bands of the chest or use an Ender Key.
- Security: By default, these chests are "Public," meaning anyone who sets a chest to the same color code can access the items. This can be changed using an Ender Lock.
- Properties:
- Hardness: 22.5
- Resistance: 600
- Tool: Pickaxe (Diamond or better recommended)
Items
Enderthing adds several utility items to manage, access, and secure the global inventory network.
Ender Pack
The Ender Pack is a portable version of the Ender Chest. It allows players to access a specific color-coded inventory directly from their hand without placing a block. * Usage: Right-click while holding to open the inventory associated with the pack's color code. * Configuration: Shift-right click with a dye to change the pack's code, or use an Ender Key.
Ender Key
The Ender Key is a management tool used to quickly set the color codes of chests and packs. * Usage: Shift-right click in the air to open the Key's UI and set a target color code. Right-click a chest or pack with the Key to instantly apply that code.
Ender Lock
The Ender Lock is used to secure an inventory.
* Usage: Right-clicking an Enderthing Ender Chest with an Ender Lock will make that specific color code "Private" to the player who used the lock.
* Effect: Once locked, the color code Red-Red-Red for Player A will point to a different inventory than Red-Red-Red for Player B. This prevents other players from stealing items by simply guessing the color code.
Ender Card
The Ender Card is primarily used for automation and integration with other mods or specific block mechanics. It can be used to "bind" a specific inventory code to a machine or hopper system.
