MekaTweaker Mod (1.12.2) – Mekanism Gas and Infuser Type

Gas a created with mods.mekatweaker.GasFactory

There are 2 methods to create a gas :

1) From an existing fluid :

import mods.mekatweaker.GasFactory;
import mods.mekatweaker.Gas;
var gas = GasFactory.createFromFluid(<liquid>);
gas.register();

2) From scratch :

#loader mekatweaker
import mods.mekatweaker.Gas;
import mods.mekatweaker.GasFactory;

var helium3 = GasFactory.createGas("helium3");
helium3.setIcon("blocks/helium3");
helium3.register();

Note that #loader mekatweaker is required.

You have a lot of method for modifying a gas :

Name of the gas:

gas.getUnlocalizedName() : String

gas.setUnlocalizedName(String) : void

Color (use in Mekanism GUI and pressurized pipes):

gas.getColor() : int

gas.setColor(int) : void

gas.isColorize() : boolean

gas.setColorize(boolean) : void

Create a liquid from gas (default: false):

gas.needFluid() : boolean

gas.setNeedFluid(boolean) : void

Create a bucket from liquid (default: true):

gas.needBucket() : boolean

gas.setNeedBucket(boolean) : void

Icon & IconFlowing (for liquid when place in the world):

gas.setIcon(string) : void

gas.setIconFlowing(string) : void

Register the gas:

gas.register() : void

Naming a gas:

MekaTweaker create a folder “resources/mekatweaker/lang/” in your modpack.

You will find a lang file (default en_us.lang) where you can add localized name like that :

gas.<unlocalized_name>=Gas Name

For our example, it would be :

gas.helium3=Helium3

Declaring texture for fluid create from gas:

You will find a file fluids.json into resources/mekatweaker/blockstates/

It already contains 2 examples:

{
	"forge_marker": 1,
	"variants": {
		"example_fluid": {
			"model": "forge:fluid",
			"custom": { "fluid": "example_fluid" }
		},
		"example_fluid_2": {
			"model": "forge:fluid",
			"custom": { "fluid": "example_fluid_2" }
		}
	}
}

You have to change example_fluid or example_fluid_2 or add more with the unlocalized name of your gas

{
	"forge_marker": 1,
	"variants": {
		"helium3": {
			"model": "forge:fluid",
			"custom": { "fluid": "helium3" }
		}
	}
}

Then you need to place your textures in the right folder, it is defined by the setIcon() and setIconFlowing() method.

For our example, you need to add an textures in the folder resources/mekatweaker/textures/blocks/ named “helium3.png“

It is the extra item that you add in the infuser like the redstone/diamond/carbon/etc

There are 4 steps for adding a new type:

1) Create the type

You must create a new zenscript file with a custom loader :

#loader mekatweaker

Then you can use the InfuserType :

#loader mekatweaker
mods.mekatweaker.InfuserType.addType("EMERALD");

2) Adding items that will be accept for filling type gauge

Must be in a script file without the custom loader

mods.mekatweaker.InfuserType.addTypeObject(<minecraft:emerald>, "EMERALD", 10);

Parameters  :

– The item is an IIngredient.

– EMERALD is your new types

– 10 is a quantity the item add into the machine (redstone add 10, compressed redstone add 80)

3) Add a texture

You can add a texture in the folder :

resources/mekatweaker/textures/blocks/infuse/<name>.png

in our example, it would be resources/mekatweaker/textures/blocks/infuse/emerald.png

4) Add a name

In the lang file (resources/mekatweaker/lang/en_us.lang), add this line :

infuse.<name>=<Name display>

Example :

infuse.emerald=Emerald

Next you can add your own recipes into the Metallurgic Infuser like this :

mods.mekanism.infuser.addRecipe("EMERALD", 10, <minecraft:iron_ingot>, <minecraft:nether_star>);
