CC-Harddisks

The CC-Harddisks mod is an extension for CC:Tweaked which adds more storage options compatible with the mod.

Currently, CC-Harddisks supports Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge >= 21.1.211 and CC:Tweaked >= 1.117.

About

CC-Harddisks aims to add more balanced mass storage options to computercraft. The default CC:Tweaked mods storage concept uses floppies and computers as storage media, each holding 120k / 1 MB respectively. Projects with large storage requirements like bulletin boards, neural networks and machine learning as well as emulators will quickly run into storage capacity issues. The "vanilla" solution to this has been to build arrays of floppy drives but this is not very lag friendly and often not something server owners like to see. This is where CC-Harddisks aims to provide an improvement with craftable hard disk drives and platters of different large capacities. While they are somewhat expensive, they should be survival friendly as obtaining netherite to craft the drives takes around the same time as collecting the resources for a floppy drive array of the same capacity.

Blocks

This mod adds the following blocks:

• Sparrow Drive: A hard disk drive with one fixed and one removable platter, each of 2 MB capacity.
• Magpie Drive: A hard disk drive with one fixed and one removable platter, each of 4 MB capacity.

Note: Platter sizes are configurable in the server-side config file.

Items

This mod adds the following items:

• Sparrow Platter: A raw platter for the sparrow drive.
• Sparrow Cartridge: A removable platter assembly for the sparrow drive, works similar to a floppy disk.
• Magpie Platter: A raw platter for the magpie drive.
• Magpie Cartridge: A removable platter assembly for the Magpie drive, works the same way as the sparrow cartridge.
• Recovery Disk: A floppy disk which can be placed in a normal floppy disk drive to force the computer to boot into a shell, regardless of it how it was configured. This is useful, as the CC-Harddisks mod removes the ability to place computers inside floppy drives by default (this can be disabled in the server-side configuration file).
