Meltery

The Meltery -

A simple block that allows melting materials into the Tinker's Construct fluids without the need for a

Smeltery, but does not allow Ore doubling or Alloying, giving a means to progression in modpacks.

How it works:

The Meltery is a simple block that does not have a GUI, instead is it entirely player or world interactions

The block has one internal slot for 64 items and a tank which can hold 10 ingots worth (1440 millibuckets).

Fuel: To fuel the Meltery it must be above a lava block, flowing or source and will be passively used to heat up the block.

Melting: Once fueled and a valid item is inserted, the Meltery will light up and slowly heat up to the require recipe temperature,

when the temperature is reached it will make a noise indicating that the fluid was added to the tank or will sizzle to indicate that the tank is full and will continue to sizzle until it can continue the recipe.

Inserting: To insert items into the meltery, simply right click with the item or insert via item transportation such as a hopper.

Extracting Items: Items can be removed by simply shift-right clicking with an empty-hand (or the same item which is being extracted).

Extracting Fluid: Any fluid pipe, including the Tic Faucet, can extract from the Meltery to be used else where.

Compat:

Meltery comes default with compat for the following

JEI - Has a recipe handler to show all melting recipes

Minetweaker - Has a handler for adding or removing melting recipes like so

To add

meltery.Meltery.addMelting(ILiquidStack output, IIngredient input, int temp)

To remove

meltery.Meltery.removeMelting(IItemStack input)
