Thermal Numismatics

Evolving the Trade Station from Create: Above And Beyond for version 1.20.1 transforms this functional block into a standalone solution that goes beyond a simple redesign of Multiverso Press.

Working with the Interface

The Trade Station offers two input slots for items: one for the trade commodity, another for the catalyst. The catalyst can either be consumed during recipe execution (default option) or preserved after operation completion. To save the catalyst, you'll need to add the corresponding item to a special tag via a datapack, which is a mandatory requirement for all functions of this modification.

It's important to note that the Trade Station block doesn't have a crafting recipe by default, which players will need to add themselves.

Setting Up the Datapack

1. Create basic datapack files: data folder, pack.mcmeta, and pack.png

2. Inside the data folder, create a recipes directory where your pack's functionality will be stored The folder is recommended to be named using lowercase letters with underscores instead of spaces

3. In the recipes folder, create json files following this format:

Catalyst Preservation

To create relic preservation (keeping the catalyst), follow these steps:

1. Instead of a folder with your own name, create thermalnumismatics/tags/item/trade_station directory

2. In this folder, create an "allowed_catalysts" json-file

3. Work with two main parameters:

   • replace: determines replacement of existing tag (recommended false)
   • values: list of items included in the tag
