Another HUGE Update! Thingamajigs 1.6.9!

Hope you enjoy it!

Additions:

• Many new factory blocks (some of which are a re-imagined version of an old mod's block)
• Commercial Dispensers (the restaurant kind, not vanilla dispensers... heh)
• Tiny Crossing (mini city lovers rejoice! tracks and road can meet at last)
• More US signs (regulatory, mostly)
• Rubber Trees and most of their wood related blocks! (Break leaves to get the resin to make rubber, some trees spawn damaged, others spawn perfectly fine, but they don't last forever!)
• Some more for fun blocks, like Powder Kegs (they go boom after being lit when primed with a specific item)
• Bike Symbol for White Paint Brush
• and some other amazing features

Changes and Improvements:

• New Vertical Redstone System using tags and a little hardcoded logic (fixes many annoying bugs, including endless bell sounding)
• Big TV collision and detection box changed
• HAWK signals work like they do in real life now with a redstone pulse
• Threw out old trash features that were never used/didn't work right (doesn't affect gameplay nor registry)
• Paint Brushes now show you in text form (untranslatable for now) what pattern you have currently
• and some other misc. fixes and changes

New update 1.6.8!

This update contains some bug fixes, changes, and new features!

Additions and improvements:

• British Railway Crossing lights (starts on amber, then changes to alternating red lights until redstone power is turned off, compatible with vertical redstone poles)

• Dual and Singular red and white Railway Lights (always flashes white slowly, then flashes red/alternates red when on, compatible with vertical redstone poles)

• Escalators (up and down variants, in all directions; smoothly moves player in the direction it is visually moving in)

• Air duct vent (shows air particles coming out the bottom)

• Darkened Stone Bricks and variants

• Reinforced Glass (an old block from an old tech mod re-imagined)

• and some other minor things

Changes and Improvements:

• New mod icon to see the future with...

• Changed some textures and models for blocks

• Enabled buckets for dimensions in Ad Astra versions 1.15.7 and up (note that this change DOESN'T work for older versions and will crash!)

• Decreased oddness of certain features misbehaving (perhaps fixed right click functions for some blocks to be more responsive and make sense, maybe)

• Other minor back-end changes

Hope you enjoy the update! Remember to report bugs on the GitHub if you find any.

QoL update for those wishing the stonecutter wasn't cluttered. Here you go! Plus new content!

Tested with Forge: 1.20.1-47.2.6

Additions:

• Components (use these to craft various 'categories' and 'subcategories' of blocks; you'll start with some basics in a smithing table, then move to the stonecutter and get into subcategories, then the decorations themselves will be craftable, some of which are made using traditional ingredients in a crafting table).

• Balloon Blocks (bouncy, and can pop if anything sharp hits it, useful underwater too if put in the offhand and popped with a sword!)

• Thingamajig State Block (turns on and off and saves it's state if no redstone signal exists, plus outputs a signal to comparators, and is lockable by key!)

• The fridge can now store and save items to your worlds, just like chests!

• Microwaves can now be CRAFTED. yep, that's it!

Changes and Improvements:

• All recipes reconfigured and recreated to use new items and ingredients (some of which can be unlocked with an ingredient in the inventory)

• Some containers got a cleanup to function faster and better

• Some block models now have emissive textures

• Cleaned up some useless code and removed unused params from unused block classes

• Fixed some oddities with some older blocks and features

• Purifying Water and Sludge Buckets shouldn't ever crash in Ad Astra dimensions anymore, instead, they won't place there nor work.

• Create support for endless netherrack generation, using the Converter block.

• Maybe fixed poop from being a smelly feature?

Remember to report bugs and crashes to the GitHub if you find any! Hope you enjoy the update! :D ;)

What's this? Thingamajigs 1.6.5? Yes!

Supports Forge: 1.20.1-forge-47.1.59

Java Version Supported: 17.0.5 or equivalent

Additions:

• More decorative full blocks (glass-like, edible, celebratory-ish, etc, etc.)

• 16 Colored Pumpkins for your enjoyment (some can be placed on your head, while others are very spooky)!

• Chairs (you can sit in them and they play sitting sounds!)

• Lockable Door and Re-implemented Key (key can lock other things!)

• Infimove Minecart (better than furnace minecarts, auto toggle-able with red and green wool/concrete placed 1 block above or below track)

Improvements and Fixes:

• Fixed some annoyances and mess-ups with recipes, feature derp, etc, etc.

• furniture that you THINK can be sat on can actually be sat on, if appropriate for the block type, and most makes sounds now when sat on

• furniture that SHOULD connect now does, like tables, yay!

• gave sounds to sinks for filling and emptying with water, and if applicable, opening and closing cabinets make sounds too

• tweaked some minor features, "you won't notice a thing..."

• entities should have a fail safe now to not spawn for situations if a crash is inevitable (perhaps, may help prevent corruptions that can occur in rare cases, maybe)

• the placeholder texture actually has a use for once

• tweaked sitting block things for players

• other texture and miscellaneous changes...

Note: Because of how some mods change entity behavior and rendering, I cannot support rendering mods, as they will most definitely break my entities. Don't use mods such as Optifine, Rubidium or other similar mods with this mod for this version unless you want to take the risk.

Hope you enjoy the update! :D ;)
