Registering Custom Items as Chain Conveyor Connectors

You can turn any registered item into a working conveyor connector using tags, allowing custom materials to bridge conveyor blocks.

Adding Items to the Valid Connector Tag

To make an item usable on chain conveyors, you must register it to the mod's conveyor connector tag using a data pack or KubeJS:

1. Open your data pack folder or KubeJS script directory.

2. Target the item tag #createchaincompat:valid_for_chain_conveyor.

3. Add the item ID you want to enable (such as a custom item or a vanilla item like minecraft:melon_slice).

4. Save the tag file or reload your scripts.

Using the New Connector in Your World

Once the item is added to the tag, test the item in your world:

1. Hold the tagged item in your hand.

2. Right-click your placed chain conveyor block.

3. Right-click a second chain conveyor block to link them together.

The item will be accepted just like standard chains, consuming the appropriate item costs. If you want the item to display a custom appearance rather than default visuals, pair this tag with a custom texture data map entry.
