Linked Transmitter can't be placed on modded buttons
Frosticle opened this issue · 2 comments
Multiple technical difficulties make it almost impossible for C:Connected to generate linked variants of modded buttons on the fly.
- All mods register their blocks in parallel, so there is no guarantee that C:Connected can discover all modded buttons in time for registration.
- Linked buttons require custom block states which can be generated on the fly, but it is not always possible for C:Connected to find the correct path to the model files of modded buttons (especially if mods use a custom naming scheme for their buttons)
- When mods like Jade are installed, linked buttons also require translations, which are also difficult to generate.
- Some modded buttons may have custom logic that the linked variants cannot replicate.
Adding new blocks programmatically is difficult in general, so I only plan to support vanilla buttons and a select few mods if there is popular demand.
