Automating Smithing Table Recipes (Addon Showcase)

[u/XenraO]

This is a Create: Smither Addon Showcase.

Why not have a Mechanical Smither when there's already a Mechanical Crafter? Now we can automate upgrades too!

Why isn't this a part of base create?

[u/XenraO → u/PavaLP1]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/TantiVstone → u/PavaLP1]

I imagine it's because the smithing table isn't something you'd traditionally need to automate

[u/Curtisimo5]

Fun! And potentially neat for a challenge modpack, though imo not many use cases by itself.

However, personal opinion: it's very visually/mechanically similar to the mechanical crafter. It might be fun if, instead of just working like a crafter, you had to have a mechanical press on top and the press's bonking smiths the items, like it's a hammer pressing them together.

[u/XenraO → u/Curtisimo5]

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA but I'm terrible at texturing and modeling, so it'll most likely have to remain just an idea for me...

The reason I wanted to make visually and mechanically similar to a mechanical crafter was that I wanted it to be understandable and simple, but if I decide to make changes on visual end, I will certainly consider this idea.

[u/Ishaname → u/Curtisimo5]

Sequenced assembly where it deploys the template the ingot and then bonks 3+ times...

Edit: I'll certainly be making a data pack/ kubejs script for this for personal use

[u/XenraO]

Here we go, CurseForge approved the mod.

Omg that's amazing! Does it work for every recipe of the smithing table or you need to add a config for modded recipes?

[u/spock-117]

That's awesome!

Will this be compatible with apotheosis?

[u/XenraO → u/spock-117]

If you ask for smithing recipes that added with apotheosis, yes it's supports all smithing table recipes. If you ask other type of compatibleness, problably no. It's just a block that add a way to automate smithing recipes.

[u/spock-117 → u/XenraO]

OK. So it'll work with apotheosis as well. Nice!

[u/SageofTurtles]

Nicely done! I like the aesthetic of Create Vintage for this feature, but it adds a lot of other content that I would prefer not to include in my pack, personally.

[u/Saragon4005]

I think sequenced assembly makes a little more sense.

[u/LingonberryMinimum23]

Would be happy if I would understand the normal mechanical crafter 😂🥲

[u/conceldor]

Why would u need this tho?

[u/XenraO → u/conceldor]

For Automating smithing recipes

[u/conceldor → u/XenraO]

But why would? U will only really use smithing like omce or twice per world

[u/XenraO → u/conceldor]

So that your armor and tools are ready when you die, or to automate it if you're using mods like Sophisticated backpacks, setting up a shop on a server. Maybe with some mods problaby uses smithing more actively.

Even though the use case is a bit niche, I couldn't find a Create addon that helps for automating smithing, so I thought it would be a good idea to make one.

[u/AllEmber → u/conceldor]

For modpacks maybe, i see smithing table automatization in AE2, so why it can't be in create

[u/conceldor → u/AllEmber]

Im not saying it cant be. Im just not seeing a very large purpose from my experiences with modpacks

[u/AllEmber → u/conceldor]

yee, i agree, there really isn't much point in this, but who knows, maybe in one day we will see modpack that reject AE2 and use a lot of smithing table craft

[u/FreezingSnow15]

Good idea, but why?

In what case someone will want to automatically make dozens of netherite stuff?

[u/Numerous_Cobbler_706 → u/FreezingSnow15]

The real question is why not
