Support for Block-Providing Items

Hello there! I’m the Author of Builder’s Bag, a mod (for 1.12.2) which adds a bag that can craft, chisel and do much more with blocks that you provide in its inventory. I’ve been getting requests for integration with BuildingGadgets and so I looked through your code, but I don’t think as it currently stands I have the possibility to add compat on my end.

Ideally, I’d have something like this (from BetterBuildersWands): https://github.com/portablejim/BetterBuildersWands/blob/1.12/src/main/java/portablejim/bbw/api/IContainerHandler.java Perhaps it could also have a simulate boolean, to first check if it has the requiredBlocks before actually using them.

I think an interface like this would generally be useful to have, so that perhaps other backpack mods can integrate their pack, or perhaps the botania wands can work with the gadget.

Please let me know if I need to provide more information. This is my source: https://github.com/Tschipp/BuildersBag

This is true, the only other option would be to have a dynamic slot size based on the amount of times you can currently build so when getStackInSlot and getSlots are called you’d allow the mod to currectly make the right comparisons. Simple is always the best way so if you had a list of items you can provide then each item in that list would be repersented by a slot so when getStackInSlot is called you’d just return then lists item based on the index passed. That’s how I’d do it in my head anyway 😄
