Description

Game of Cobble is a new block that can be used for decoration, generation of variety of cobblestone and stone types, redstone contraprions.

How to use

Place some cobblestone inside and give a redstrone signal. All filled slots that neighbor 4 or more filled slots will become empty. All empty slots that neighbor exactly 3 filled slots will spawn cobblestone. Cobblestone can be spawned outside of the inventory this way, in which case it will drop into the world. Multiple blocks can be combined into a bigger grid. Check JEI usages to see what else can be used besides just normal cobblestone. Search "Conway's Game of Life" online for ideas and inspiration.

Configuring

Maximum amount of blocks that can form a shared grid can be changed in the server config. Lowering it won't affect already existing grids of a bigger size.

New items can be added to the list of items usable in the Game of Cobble by adding recipes.
