[WHAT THIS MOD DOES]

It adds two blocks: "Sided Buffer" and "Auto-crafting table". (At least for now...)

Both blocks have inventory and they come from old 2 mods: "RedPower2" and "BuildCraft 3.1.5" (not same as these, but I was inspired by these mods).

This mod is Universal. So, If you want to run server with this mod, just install it to your server's mods directory.

I will introduce what these blocks does.

[Sided Buffer] (Original: "Buffer" from RedPower2)

{width=320 height=180}

This block has a face direction.

{width=320 height=180}

It has an inventory.

The face side is assigned to all rows of inventory and other sides are assigned to each one of rows.

I think if you see the GUI, you will see which one row is assigned to which side.

Of course, which row a transportation system(Hoppers, Pipes, etc...) can access is depending on which side it is connecting.

[Auto-crafting Table] (Original: "Auto Workbench" from "BuildCraft 3.1.5")

{width=320 height=180}

{width=320 height=180}

This block has 3x3(Crafting matrix) and 1 inventory(crafting result) like Vanilla's "Crafting Table".

Of course, you can use it as workbench that keeps its contents after closing GUI,

but it has a auto-crafting function.

To execute auto-crafting, It must meet following requirements:

1. A transportation system is connecting to at least one side, and is going to extract the block's contents.
2. In the 3x3 inventory, all slots have 2+ stacks.

If it doesn't meet "requirement #2", it tries to use resources from its surrounding blocks which has inventory, and if it failed to do that, It doesn't do auto-crafting.

If this block couldn't handle excessive input, the excessive items will be launched.(?)
