Class Driver

java.lang.Object

li.cil.oc.api.Driver

public final class Driver
extends java.lang.Object

This API allows registering new drivers with the mod.

Drivers are used to make items and third-party blocks available in the mod's component network, and optionally to user programs. If you implement a new block that should interact with the mod's component network it is enough to have it implement Environment - no driver is needed in that case.

Method Detail

add

public static void add(Block driver)

Registers a new block driver.

Whenever the neighboring blocks of an Adapter block change, it checks if there exists a driver for the changed block, and if it is configured to interface that block type connects it to the component network.

This must be called in the init phase, not the pre- or post-init phases.

Parameters:

driver - the driver to register.

add

public static void add(Item driver)

Registers a new item driver.

Item components can inserted into a computers component slots. They have to specify their type, to determine into which slots they can fit.

This must be called in the init phase, not the pre- or post-init phases.

Parameters:

driver - the driver to register.

add

public static void add(Converter converter)

Registers a new type converter.

Type converters are used to automatically convert values returned from callbacks to a "simple" format that can be pushed to any architecture.

This must be called in the init phase, not the pre- or post-init phases.

Parameters:

converter - the converter to register.

driverFor

public static Block driverFor(net.minecraft.world.World world,
              int x,
              int y,
              int z)

Looks up a driver for the block at the specified position in the specified world.

Note that several drivers for a single block can exist. Because of this block drivers are always encapsulated in a 'compound' driver, which is what will be returned here. In other words, you should will not get actual instances of drivers registered via add(li.cil.oc.api.driver.Block).

Parameters:

world - the world containing the block.

x - the X coordinate of the block.

y - the Y coordinate of the block.

z - the Z coordinate of the block.

Returns:

a driver for the block, or null if there is none.

driverFor

public static Item driverFor(net.minecraft.item.ItemStack stack)

Looks up a driver for the specified item stack.

Note that unlike for blocks, there can always only be one item driver per item. If there are multiple ones, the first one that was registered will be used.

Parameters:

stack - the item stack to get a driver for.

Returns:

a driver for the item, or null if there is none.
