# Burning **Burning** is a library mod that adds a unified interface for managing the amount of burning fuel within most, if not all, furnace-like blocks from vanilla Minecraft and other mods. Uses Fabric's Lookup and Transaction APIs. ## Documentation **Burning** revolves around the [BurningStorage](https://github.com/NivOridocs/burning/tree/main/src/main/java/niv/burning/api/BurningStorage.java) interface, which manages the insertions and extractions of burning fuel, and the [Burning](https://github.com/NivOridocs/burning/tree/main/src/main/java/niv/burning/api/Burning.java) class, which represents the burning fuel itself. You may read the documentation or the source code to learn more. ### Getting Started (for regular users) Install it as you'd with any other mod, and without further configuration, every block which entity extends the `AbstractFurnaceBlockEntity` (Mojang mappings' name) abstract class, be them the vanilla _Furnace_, _Blast Furnace_, or _Smoker_, or any third-party block, will get a `BurningStorage` automatically and thus will be ready to interop with every other mod using this library. ### Blacklisting Blocks (for advanced users) You may not want some blocks extending `AbstractFurnaceBlockEntity` (Mojang mappings' name) to get a `BurningStorage`, whether because it doesn't work or because of your preference. By tagging any such block under the `#burning:blacklist` block tag, you can prevent it from automatically getting a BurningStorage. To do so, and for every such block, you must figure out the name of that block, which is usually `mod_name:block_name`. Then you must create a data pack like the one in the following example.

Expand

```tree .zip ├── data │ └── │ └── burning │ └── tags │ └── blocks (before 1.21) or block (after 1.21) │ └── blacklist.json ├── pack.mcmeta └── pack.png (optional) ```

Where the `blacklist.json` file shall look something like this:

Expand

```json { "replace": false, "values": [ "mod_name:block_name_1", "mod_name:block_name_2", ... ] } ```

### Dynamic Storages (for experienced users) Some mods add block entities that can burn fuel, but that, for one reason or another, don't extend the `AbstractFurnaceBlockEntity` abstract class, and thus, they won't automatically get a `BurningStorage`. Fret not, for **Burning** offers the `burning:dynamic_storage` dynamic registry, which, through data packs and a bit of reflection, resolves this specific problem. How to do so. For every such block entity, you must figure out a couple of things beforehand, that is: * The name of that block entity's type. * The name of the field of that block entity that is functionally equivalent to `AbstractFurnaceBlockEntity.litTimeRemaining` (Mojang mappings' name, `litTime` before 1.21.4). * The name of the field of that block entity that is functionally equivalent to `AbstractFurnaceBlockEntity.litTotalTime` (Mojang mappings' name, `litDuration` before 1.21.4). Then you must create a data pack like the one in the following example.

Expand

```tree .zip ├── data │ └── │ └── burning │ └── dynamic_storage │ └── .json │ └── .json │ └── ... ├── pack.mcmeta └── pack.png (optional) ```

Where each `*.json` file shall look something like this (comments are for illustration only, remove them in actual JSON):

Expand

```json { // The name of that block entity's type "type": "example_mod:custom_furnace_entity_type", // The name of the field of that block entity that is functionally equivalent to `litTimeRemaining` "lit_time": "burnTime", // The name of the field of that block entity that is functionally equivalent to `litTotalTime` "lit_duration": "fuelTime" } ```

### Add Dependencies (for mod developers) Add the following to your `gradle.build`. ```gradle repositories { // Add Modrinth maven repository exclusiveContent { forRepository { maven { name = "Modrinth" url = "https://api.modrinth.com/maven" } } filter { includeGroup "maven.modrinth" } } } dependencies { // Add Burning dependency modImplementation "maven.modrinth:burning:" } ``` For more information about the Modrinth maven repository read [here](https://support.modrinth.com/en/articles/8801191-modrinth-maven). ### Basic Usage (for mod developers) Most of the time, as a mod developer using this library, you will only need to access already registered burning storages and transfer burning fuel between them. Here's how to do it. Get a burning storage: ```java import niv.burning.api.BurningStorage; // What you need Level world; BlockPos pos; // How to @Nullable BurningStorage storage = BurningStorage.SIDED.find(world, pos, null); ``` Note: for most use cases, `find`'s third argument, which should be a `Direction`, is ignored by the underlying implementation, so it's safe to pass null. Transfer burning fuel between two storages: ```java import niv.burning.api.Burning; import niv.burning.api.BurningStorage; // What you need Level level; BurningStorage source, target; // Before 1.21.2, create a burning context, you can use the SimpleBurningContext class or implement one yourself BurningContext context = ...; // After 1.21.2, you can also use the FuelValuesBurningContext wrapper class BurningContext context = new FuelValuesBurningContext(level.fuelValues()); // Create the maximum amount of burning fuel to transfer, for instance, half a COAL worth of burning fuel Burning burning = Burning.of(Items.COAL, context).withValue(800, context); // or if you are using COAL, BLAZE_ROD, or LAVA_BUCKET Burning burning = Burning.COAL.withValue(800, context); // How to Burning transferred = BurningStorage.transfer( source, // transfer from this storage target, // to this storage burning, // up to this amount of burning fuel context, // with this burning context null); // creating a new transaction in doing so // `transferred` will have the same fuel as `burning` ``` Transfer an exact amount or nothing: ```java import niv.burning.api.Burning; import niv.burning.api.BurningStorage; Level level; BurningStorage source, target; BurningContext context; Burning burning = Burning.COAL.withValue(800, context); try (Transaction transaction = Transaction.openOuter()) { Burning transferred = BurningStorage.transfer(source, target, burning, context, transaction); if (burning.equals(transferred)) { transaction.commit(); } } ``` Read the Fabric's Transaction API to understand the last example better. ### Use a burning storage in your block entity (for mod developers) Instead of implementing the two fields functionally equivalent to `AbstractFurnaceBlockEntity`'s `litTimeRemaining` and `litTotalTime`, do the following: ```java import niv.burning.api.BurningStorage; import niv.burning.api.BurningStorageHelper; import niv.burning.api.BurningStorageListener; import niv.burning.api.base.SimpleBurningStorage; public class MyBlockEntity extends BlockEntity implements BurningStorageListener { // Add a simple burning storage to the entity public final SimpleBurningStorage simpleBurningStorage = new SimpleBurningStorage(); public MyBlockEntity(...) { // ... // Add this to register this entity for changes in the simpleBurningStorage this.simpleBurningStorage.addListener(this); } // Add this as a callback @Override public void burningStorageChanged(BurningStorage burningStorage) { // Update this entity LIT property (if any) so to match if the given burningStorage is burning BurningStorageHelper.tryUpdateLitProperty(this, burningStorage); this.setChanged(); } // And don't forget to add the following for saving and loading the simpleBurningStorage state @Override protected void loadAdditional(ValueInput valueInput) { super.loadAdditional(valueInput); // ... valueInput .read("Burning", SimpleBurningStorage.SNAPSHOT_CODEC) .ifPresent(this.simpleBurningStorage::readSnapshot); } @Override protected void saveAdditional(ValueOutput valueOutput) { super.saveAdditional(valueOutput); // ... valueOutput .store("Burning", SimpleBurningStorage.SNAPSHOT_CODEC, this.simpleBurningStorage.createSnapshot()); } } ``` Don't forget to register it: ```java import niv.burning.api.BurningStorage; // What you need BlockEntityType MY_BLOCK_ENTITY = ...; // How to BurningStorage.SIDED.registerForBlockEntity((myBlockEntity, direction) -> myBlockEntity.simpleBurningStorage, MY_BLOCK_ENTITY); ``` Then you can access the equivalent `litTimeRemaining` and `litTotalTime` like: ```java this.simpleBurningStorage.getCurrentBurning(); // as the `litTimeRemaining` equivalent this.simpleBurningStorage.setCurrentBurning(800); this.simpleBurningStorage.getMaxBurning(); // as the `litTotalTime` equivalent this.simpleBurningStorage.setMaxBurning(1600); ```
