[1.4.5][IC1.109][Forge]Condensed Blocks[V2.0.0]

Wait, so you can burn these compressed blocks in generators? That is a lot of energy storage... And a lot of UUM to fill a diamond chest with these blocks.

EDIT: Can you place compressed redstone blocks in energy storage units?

This would make some crazy fuel if it could be used in a canning machine.

Arrows would be handy to be able to be compressed.

I can't access your thread page, neither download your mod. I'm getting this :
[Changed Google chrome to english just to take Screenshot]

This happened on every Thread in the mods section for me... (since today)

No i want the mod so that you can use the version without IC,BC etc So i can't use the api
Maybe i will add an Advenced Mod Version (Condensed Scrap Boxes as Amplifiers, Redstone as Energy etc)

I know that there is a way to check if a mod is installed in java. I don't know how off the top of my head but it has something to do with checking if a class is defined. That way you can have one build with all of the code for the mods and only activate mod specific code when the mod is loaded. http://www.minecraftforum.net/…l-ironchests-42-cats-142/ Here is a mod that does it. Maybe you can ask nicely for help with figuring it out. Might be a bit more code now but will save code in the long run and having to manage multiple versions. I guess I should have made my last post a little more clear cut, Compressed Coal will burn as fuel in a generator? I'm not sure if that part is implemented since it isn't necessary to use the IC2 api for it. If not it wouldn't be hard to fix, just add it to the forge fuel dictionary with that check if installed code.

This would make for easy base construction and having lots of power in a small space.

IC2 does it. And for the people having issues with Chrome blocking the Minecraft sites, there's a link right below the go back button that lets you proceed to the page.

According to F4113nb34st the code for detecting if IC2 is loaded is

boolean loaded = false;try
{
Class.forName("ic2.common.IC2"); //will throw exception if not loaded
loaded = true;
}catch(Exception ex)
{}

EDIT: Copying and pasting messed that up a bit

Yeah, forgot about that. Another possible way to do it would be to put all the IC2 specific code in a try-catch block and catch Exception without checking if the class is loaded. In theory if it isn't it should throw a ClassNotDefinedException or something similar and just skip over the ic2 or other mod specific code, assuming you don't want any additional behavior if it isn't loaded. But I haven't tested that so I can't confirm it. And nevermind on my question again, since I just read the title of the mod in the minecraft forum thread and noticed it required forge, ill assume it uses the fuel dictionary.

Many thanks for making this mod
Was about to go crazy for not having my Alchemical Bags to fill with stuff Now I can just compress it and keep on mining

Edit:
Your download link seems to be goofed up a bit, as it has the industrial-craft.net part before it, hehe
And your mcmod.info file seems to be saying it's still 1.7.0
And lastly, your minecraftforum post is a little out of date on the version numbering too

Another edit, hehe:
At a glance, it looks like you didn't add a Rotten Flesh block, maybe you can for the future

Aha, I didn't think about Rotten Flesh being a food, hehe
Looking forward to the next update *reads up on Cable Utility in the mean time*

If this was posted as an addon to IC2, then why does it say forge if IC2 is already forge?
