Pick block through wireless terminal

Beyley opened this issue · 6 comments

Describe the feature

I'd like to be able to pick block an item, and have it pull the item from my wireless terminal, eg. I have polished andesite in my ME system, but none in my inventory, id like to pick-block andesite off the ground and it automatically grabs it from the ME system and puts it in my hand (or into the next open slot, like how pick-block grabs things from your inventory)

Reasons why it should be considered

This would be very helpful for building, or just quick "i quickly need a block from the ME system to patch a 1-block hole in my wall"

Additional details

I like that idea, to be clearly:

While having the terminal in either hand you middle click a block ... It that block is in your inventory, switch the other hand with that block from your inventory or pull a stack from storage, but where to put the item that was in the other hand ?
And what if your inventory is full, where to put the item?

commented

If the inventory is full (or maybe even if the hotbar is full), it could just try to put the item back in the system
if that fails too, the only option will probably be to drop the item

commented

For my concern being an rare edge case how would „abort the block pick“ sound? at very last when it fails, one would check the terminal and recognize the overloaded inventory

First off, I'd like to say I just so happened to be thinking about this mere moments ago, so I find it really funny I happened upon this moments later. I'd like to express support for this.
Question, when pulling from your inventory via pick-block, it pulls all available blocks, all the way up to 64, would the me system do the same? or just one? or maybe even a configurable amount?

@mindforger the evaporated water sfx (place water down in the nether) seems to be a good idea, and a chat message or toast would probably would assist.
The sfx to grab the users attention notifying the user somethings wrong and the message to explain the issue to the user.

pull a full stack, which size it allows would be the only sensible imho ... I doubt it would be hard to add effects but the core of my idea was to not drop items, just stop pulling items when you cant stow away the item at hand ... but whatever you fancy :)
