Package li.cil.oc.api.internal

This package provides interfaces that are implemented by OC internal classes so that they can be checked for and used by type checking and casting to these interfaces.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Adapter	This interface is implemented as a marker by adapters.
Case	This interface is implemented as a marker by computer cases.
Colored	This interface is implemented by tile entities that can be colored by players, such as screens, computer cases and cables.
Database	This interface is implemented by the database component.
Drone	This interface is implemented as a marker by drones.
Microcontroller	This interface is implemented as a marker by microcontrollers.
Robot	This interface allows interaction with robots.
Rotatable	This interface is implemented by the computer case and robot tile entities to allow item components to query the orientation of their host, i.e.
Server	This interface is implemented as a marker by servers in server racks.
ServerRack	This interface is implemented as a marker by server racks.
Tablet	This interface is implemented as a marker by tablets.
Tiered	This is implemented by most things that are tiered in some way.

Package li.cil.oc.api.internal Description

This package provides interfaces that are implemented by OC internal classes so that they can be checked for and used by type checking and casting to these interfaces.

For example, to determine whether a tile entity is a robot, you can do an instanceof with the Robot interface - and cast to it if you wish to access some of the provided functionality.

The other main use-case is in HostAware drivers, where these interfaces can be used to check if the item can be used inside the specified environment (where the environment class may be assignable to one of the interfaces in this package).
