Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	registerRetractionPipe(PipeDefinition pipeDefinition) Registers a pipe as a retraction trigger for pipe extension requests
boolean	requestPipeExtension(net.minecraft.world.World world, net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos pos, net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing dir, IStripesActivator stripes, net.minecraft.item.ItemStack stack) Requests an extension by one block from a IStripesActivator (usually a stripes transport pipe) with the pipe supplied by the stack by moving the stripes pipe to the front and placing the new transport pipe behind.

Method Detail

requestPipeExtension

boolean requestPipeExtension(net.minecraft.world.World world,
                             net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos pos,
                             net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing dir,
                             IStripesActivator stripes,
                             net.minecraft.item.ItemStack stack)

Requests an extension by one block from a IStripesActivator (usually a stripes transport pipe) with the pipe supplied by the stack by moving the stripes pipe to the front and placing the new transport pipe behind. If the pipe is a registered retraction pipe (per default only the void transport pipe is - register one with registerRetractionPipe(PipeDefinition)) it retracts the pipeline instead by moving the stripes pipe one block in the opposite direction, replacing the previous transport pipe.

Parameters:

world - the world

pos - the position or origin of the request (usually the stripes pipe position)

dir - the direction of the proposed extension

stripes - the stripes pipe

stack - the pipe stack to use (Note: only uses one item and sends the rest back)

Returns:

true on success, false otherwise

registerRetractionPipe

void registerRetractionPipe(PipeDefinition pipeDefinition)

Registers a pipe as a retraction trigger for pipe extension requests

Parameters:

pipeDefinition - the pipe definition
