Welcome to the automataCraft wiki!

AutomataCraft is a Minecraft mod that add automata blocks.

What does that mean?

It means you can add a block that replaces the blocks around it.

It decides which blocks to replace with what based on the blocks you put between a start and a termination block. An empty block matches any other block.

Add: Img with pattern

Add: Img before replace

Add: Img after replace

There is a special blocks called "automata placeholder". If you add it to the replacement blocks, when the automata do the replacement it will add an automata block instead of the replacement. This automata will also do the same replacement on the next tick, and so on, repeatedly.

Add: Img automata replication

And the last thing you need to know is that you can have more than one replacement pattern. With many patterns the automata replaces different blocks depending on the blocks around it. Think of this like the automata is looking around and deciding what to do.

With all this you can do many things, for example:

• Replace all water from a lake with lava
• Empty a block region
• Infinite railroads
• Stairs going way down to bedrock level
• Computations like sorting or anything with a finite state machine

The possibilities are endless

Even more

Besides the automata placeholder there are other placeholders for blocks that are not available or that are herd to work with.

One example is the air placeholder. It is there so we can match the pattern with air and replace blocks with air.

If you turn the redsignal for the start block off, you can replace the pattern for the automata.

You can use a rotation block, to create a pattern in all possible rotations around an axis.
