Interactive Machines

The ra_interactive module provides 11 utility machines for automation and map logic.

• Namespace: ra_interactive
• Give all: /function ra_interactive:items/give_all
• Runtime architecture: How It Works

Block Summary

Block	Item model	Recipe	Trigger model	Notes
Block Breaker	minecraft:dispenser		While powered	40 tick action cooldown
Block Placer	minecraft:dispenser		While powered	Places from inventory into air in front
Item Pipe	minecraft:dispenser		Continuous	4 tick transfer cycle
Item Mover	minecraft:observer		Continuous	Rear container to front container
Spitter	minecraft:dropper		Continuous	Throws item entities forward
Pusher	minecraft:magenta_glazed_terracotta	Yes (image pending)	While powered	Pushes entities forward, 20 tick cooldown
Breeder	minecraft:dispenser		Rising edge	Uses dispenser inventory food
Infinite Water Cauldron	minecraft:cauldron		Continuous	Keeps water_cauldron[level=3]
Infinite Lava Cauldron	minecraft:cauldron		Continuous	Keeps lava_cauldron
Infinite Snow Cauldron	minecraft:cauldron		Continuous	Keeps powder_snow_cauldron[level=3]
Message Block	minecraft:note_block		Rising edge	Sends text to players in range

Behavior Notes

Block Breaker

• Uses dispenser-facing direction.
• Breaks target block in front.
• Uses ra.cooldown with a 40 tick threshold.

Block Placer

• Uses dispenser-facing direction.
• Attempts to place a valid block from its own inventory.

Item Pipe

• Runs continuously without requiring redstone pulses.
• Moves items at a 4 tick cycle.
• Intentionally has no recipe in current release path.

Item Mover

• Uses observer as the visual model.
• Moves one item from back inventory to front inventory each cycle.

Spitter

• Uses dropper as visual/base block.
• Emits inventory items as entities from its facing side.

Pusher

• Requires redstone power to activate.
• Pushes entities in front direction and then waits 20 ticks.

Breeder

• Runs on rising-edge power only.
• Reads dispenser inventory and feeds matching nearby animals.

Infinite Cauldrons

• Water and snow versions enforce level 3.
• Lava version enforces lava state.
• Designed to be self-healing utility sources.

Message Block

• Internal ID uses message_block (placement tag and custom_data).
• Folder path remains blocks/message.
• Default properties initialized to message text and range.

Contributor Notes

1. Keep machine-facing behavior tied to dir_type and orientation storage.
2. For inventory machines, prefer ra_lib:inventory/insert and ra_lib:inventory/remove helpers.
3. For redstone-triggered behavior, keep edge detection (ra.was_powered) explicit.
