Summary

• Adds cross-dimensional multiblock linking API for machine-to-machine communication
• Implements Moth Cargo system for item/fluid transport between linked stations
• Adds Diving Bell for player teleportation to The Deep Below

Cross-Dimensional Linking API

Infrastructure for linking multiblocks together, even across dimensions.

Usage:

• Extend LinkedWorkableElectricMultiblockMachine (or LinkedWorkableMultiblockMachine for non-electric)
• Override getLinkRole() to set PEER/CONTROLLER/REMOTE
• Players link machines with datastick (shift+click to copy, click to link)

Features:

• Automatic chunk loading for cross-dimensional queries
• Partner state queries (formed, working, items, fluids, energy)
• Recipe conditions: LinkedPartnerCondition, LinkedPartnerDimensionCondition, LinkedPartnerDimensionItemCondition, LinkedPartnerDimensionFluidCondition
• Role negotiation (PEER↔PEER, CONTROLLER↔REMOTE)
• Ownership validation via FTB Teams

Key Files:

• api/capability/ILinkedMultiblock.java
• api/machine/multiblock/LinkedWorkableElectricMultiblockMachine.java
• common/machine/multiblock/LinkedMultiblockHelper.java
• docs/CROSS_DIMENSIONAL_LINKING.md

Moth Cargo System

Item/fluid transport using Forestry beehives as "moth homes."

• Moth Cargo Station: Sender - pulls from input buses, ships to linked drop-offs
• Moth Cargo Drop Off: Receiver - outputs to connected inventories

Features:

• Distribution modes: Direct, Fill First, Round Robin (screwdriver to cycle)
• Tiered beehives control cycle speed and capacity
• Same-dimension only
• No power required

Diving Bell

Player teleporter to frontiers:the_deep_below.

• Stand on controller → teleports player down (500k EU)
• Auto-generates landing platform with Escape Pad
• Right-click Escape Pad → returns to origin
• Stores return data on player capability

TODO:

• Structure needs work - placeholder box currently, needs more space around teleporter pad
• Textures needed for diving bell controller and escape pad
• Consider adding a consumable instead of/in addition to energy cost
• Teleport transition sound/visual effects

Test Plan

• Link two machines same dimension, verify datastick workflow
• Link two machines cross-dimension, verify chunk loading
• Test recipe conditions (partner required, dimension required)
• Moth Cargo: verify item/fluid transfer in all distribution modes
• Diving Bell: teleport down and back, verify origin restore
