Ender-Rift
Attention: Data Loss Fix
Version 2.6.4 for NeoForge 1.20.4 contained an unpleasant bug that could replace item stacks with air when loading saved data. The issue has been resolved in update 2.6.5, so everything should now work stably.
In-Game Manual
Starting from version 2.0, the mod includes built-in documentation thanks to integration with Guidebook. If you have this mod installed, the recipe for the book becomes available for studying.
Some Backstory
What happens when you capture an ender pearl during teleportation and direct redstone energy flow at it? The answer to this question was discovered by accident during an ambitious experiment.
The pearl shatters, and in its place, a rift opens into the intermediate space used by endermen for movement. By harnessing this anomaly, you gain access to virtually limitless storage in a tiny volume.
**IMPORTANT: Although the ender field is self-sustaining, its destruction causes the rift to close. If all connected rifts are destroyed, returning to the same intermediate space becomes impossible!***
- Except for the all-powerful creators of this world.
Main Features
Ender-Rift offers a solution for virtually unlimited item storage. The system doesn't have a standard access interface and operates through external blocks connected to the inventory network. For this purpose, the mod includes special devices with limited but automatable functionality, as well as a search browser that doesn't support automation. The entire network requires a separate power source in addition to the energy needed to maintain the rift itself.
Key Components:
- Ender Rift - bottomless storage using energy to maintain a pocket in the intermediate space
- Rudimentary Generator - slowly heats up to maximum efficiency, lacks overflow control system
- Rift Browser - provides access to rift contents and other inventories with search functionality across all item parameters
- Crafting Browser - enhanced version with integrated crafting table
- Rift Interface - enables automation of specific item export and import
- Proxy Devices - extend the range of browsers and interfaces up to 32 blocks
- Rift Driver - powers inventory networks, ensuring operation of connected interfaces
The system uses the standard Forge Energy for power supply. The Tesla API is additionally supported, but the old RF API is not compatible.
Assembly Process
Assemble the multiblock structure according to the wiki instructions, then right-click the main rift block with a powered orb. If the orb is already bound to an existing rift, you'll gain access to it; otherwise, a new rift will be created.
To organize access from different locations (similar to ender chests), click on an assembled rift with an unbound orb. Note that each rift requires independent power.
Access Recovery
If you accidentally destroy a configured orb, access to the rift can be restored through administrator commands:
/give <player_name> enderrift:itemEnderRift 1 0 {RiftId:<number>}
Or for versions 1.13+:
/give @p enderrift:rift_orb{RiftId:<number>}
Rifts are numbered sequentially starting from 0. It's not recommended to create rifts with numbers higher than the current maximum, as this may cause conflicts.
Future Plans
Extensions for working with fluids are under consideration, possibly as separate modules with configurable capacity or through special "fluid items".
