\u00a0<\/p>\n
Designed for Forge.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Features include:<\/p>\n
**Photocopier (v1.18+)**:\u00a0Provides a way to make copies of existing photos or drawings.\u00a0 Add paper to the photocopier, then interact with it while holding a photograph or drawing and choose how many copies you would like to make.<\/p>\n
**Modern Bookshelf (v1.18+)**:\u00a0Bookshelf designed to hold mod guidebooks.\u00a0 One bookshelf can hold up to 16 books.\u00a0 After placing a mod book onto the shelf, right click the placed book to read it.\u00a0 Shift-click with empty hands to reclaim a book off the shelf.<\/p>\n
**Catwalk (v1.18+)**:\u00a0Decorative walkway.\u00a0 After placement, you can shift-click this block with an empty hand to permanently remove a railing (allowing access to the catwalk).<\/p>\n
**Winch (v1.18+)**:\u00a0Redstone-powered block that can pull blocks using chains.\u00a0 After placing, place chains coming from the winch to the object you want to pull.\u00a0 When powered by redstone, the winch will pull in the chain, pulling an equivalent number of blocks attached to the chain with it (Example: A ceiling winch has 3 chain blocks coming out of it and it’s connected to a floor made of stone.\u00a0 The 3 chain blocks will contract and pull up 3 stone blocks from the floor).\u00a0 If the winch is placed on a ceiling, the winch will also lower the pulled blocks when power is cut off to the winch.\u00a0 Additionally, the winch has a mode where it will stall the chain (not raise or lower it) if it is powered but the power level is between 1-3.\u00a0 The winch requires 4+ power to contract its chain.<\/p>\n
**Winch Anchor (v1.18+)**:\u00a0If the winch’s chain is attached to this block “Winch Anchor” it will behave differently.\u00a0 The winch will attempt to pull all “winch anchor” blocks that are connected together.\u00a0 This can be used to construct a moving platform or elevator.\u00a0 The anchors need to define a frame but the inside can be open (or filled with any other kind of blocks).\u00a0 See the following example:\u00a0https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/nMkoIyE<\/p>\n
**Motorboat (v1.18+)**: Speedy\u00a04-person ocean vessel that requires fuel to operate.\u00a0 Comes with full fuel when crafted but can be re-fueled with a gas can.<\/p>\n
**Handgun**: Requires at least one magazine in your inventory to fire.\u00a0 Left click to fire, right click to aim down sights.\u00a0 Crafting this item is\u00a0DISABLED BY DEFAULT IN THE CONFIG.\u00a0 Change config key “enableHandgun” to allow crafting this item in survival mode.<\/p>\n
