Finer Peripherals

The Finer Peripherals mod represents a Fabric-port version of the Better Peripherals project. It fills the gap in the Fabric platform by offering a set of useful peripheral devices for ComputerCraft.

Available Devices

Chat Box — a special module for working with in-game chat, providing functions similar to chat systems from other modifications.

Compass Turtle — a unique version of the turtle equipped with a compass. This modification allows programs to receive information about the direction the device is facing, significantly simplifying navigation.

Geo Scanner — an advanced block for analyzing the surrounding space. In addition to basic block scanning, it can recognize various object states, including: horizontal direction along the X and Z axes, vertical orientation, block positions (top/bottom for slabs and stairs), alignment axis for logs and similar elements, as well as redstone activation state and signal level.

Event Relay — a high-level modem allowing targeted message transmission to a specific computer by identifier. To maintain balance, the developer introduced the following limitations: complicated crafting recipe, inability to broadcast to all devices, absence of eavesdropping on others' communication channels, and a unique operating mode different from standard "open" or "closed" states.

Additional Features

Holographic Item Display — essentially a digital version of an item frame for object display. The main setItem() function allows displaying any in-game item, for example: setItem("minecraft:dirt").

The development of this mod was motivated by the lack of standard peripheral devices in the Fabric ecosystem, as well as the realization of the necessity for certain tools, such as the direction-oriented turtle, for full-fledged work with ComputerCraft.
