JABBA - Just Another Better Barrel Attempt
- Thread starter Yusunoha
- Start date
just for those who want a rundown on everything from this mod:
Barrels:
Barrels:
- Can hold one type of item and displays the amount on the front
- Every side can be an input or output from pipes
- Empty Barrels can be locked so they can be ignored by pipes and automation (however items can still be retrieved by hand). However if a barrel is locked while containing an item, the barrel will never go "empty", and will filter in the current locked content.
- Inbuilt ForgeOreDict conversion (so you can place three different copper types in it and they will turn to one type)
- Total of 7 upgrades which need to be applied in order
- Breaking an upgraded barrel also drops the upgrades and the normal barrel
- Normal barrel (not upgraded) can hold 64 stacks which can be upgraded to Emerald Barrel which can hold 8192 stacks
- Inbuilt WAILA support for Extra Info
- 7 Types: Wood, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Obsidian, End Stone, Emerald
- Each upgrade holds twice as much as the last one. Wood (128), Iron (256) and so on
- Crafting Recipe for an upgrade contains the previous upgrade, so an emerald upgrade requires you to have made 7 wood, 6 iron, 5 gold and so on down to the one emerald upgrade.
- Allows you to move most blocks with an inventory while retaining what is inside
- Supports most items like barrels, chests, water tanks and many modded machines
- Can only carry one inventory at a time
- A sticker can be placed on a side of a barrel to display the contents inside the barrel on other sides apart from the front side
All I can say is, where has this been all my life! I'm currently using The Barrels mod however, the newest beta release is extremely buggy. I'm going to download this and, push it to my server. I'll let you know how it goes. From what I've seen in your video, I see no reason why I wouldn't give this a try.
Being able to input from any side and, lock barrels sealed the deal for me. The on the spot upgrades will pair up fantastically with the Iron Chests mod as an added bonus.

there's also some WIP items in the mod, so mobius still has some new stuff planned for the mod.
I'm also going to suggest for an option to change the texture of the barrel to that of a block, so you could for example make it look like a piece of stone if you've the barrel against a stone wall.
just look at the mini barrel, dawww, it's so cute

So far so good. I've replaced the barrels mod I've been using for almost two years now to give this one a shot. So far so good. I have yet to experience a single instability issue and, these barrels interact with TE item pipes without issue. My only complaint is that the items pop out of the barrel and, onto the floor when the barrel is clicked instead of popping into your inventory.
Worked the same, as in when retrieving items manually with hands (left clicking).Not entirely no, JABBA barrels let you input and output on any side. Not input top and output bottom
Was responding to P.Archon's concern with regards of the items not going into his/her inventory directly.
From my experience, In the current stable unleashed version for minecraft 1.5.2, those FZ barrels does not work that way. They drop the items on the ground. Though, if you stand close enough it looks like they are put in your inventory but they are just exported from the side you click on the barrel.
Anyway, looks like a cool mod. I'm not in 1.6 yet, but will certainly try your mod when I do.
Yep, FZ barrels do drop items to the ground.
@Succubism, you're think of barrels from the Barrels mod. Those put the items directly into your inventory.
I am currently playing a custom low tech, high magic mod pack on 1.6.4. So a low tech barrel appeals to me.
I was indeed referencing the barrels from The Barrels mod. I've recently switched to this mod due to some instability issues with the recent The Barrels mod beta. I preferred its method of inserting blocks into your inventory though it is just a minor inconvenience.
While I definitely agree that FZ barrels are sufficient, there are some people who don't really have an interest in everything else Factorization has to offer. So, other developers have created their own flavor of barrels, for those people that want just barrels.
