Semi advanced computers

What if you can chage your old normal computer to one with diferrents colors??

Destroy your old normal computer(with label if you dont want to lost files) and put it in a crafting bench with two dyes




The up dye will be the background color and the down one the text color and it will output an Semi-Advanced computer wuth a label that says its colors(ej: Lime in White)

So your background and your text will be ALWAYS the same Meaning that its not too OP

EDIT: CHANGED THE IMAGES!

Should I be faceplamming,
Or brian not wurking?
EDIT: I don't see why this is needed. We really don't need ANOTHER computer.

local background = colors.white
local text = colors.black

while true do
  term.setBackgroundColor(background)
  term.setTextColor(text)
  write '> '
  shell.run(read())
end

And there's the code for your "semi-advanced computer" with custom colors.

I think he's point is that this one is cheaper. But still I disagree, there's hardly any benefit in this.

I like the idea to dye your computer… but not a 'semi advanced computer' its not needed, why not just make a advanced computer?

I agree. I would like to see colored turtles and maybe colored computers, but there is almost no point in this, since advanced computers exist.

Also, this would be more restrictive than normal computers, since you can use any combination of black and white on the regular computers.

I think he wants to be able to chose what the colors of the 2 color pallet of the normal computer is. So would still be able to use the 2 color in any combo it would just be red and pink, or blue and orange. This to me is on the list of If I had it I may use it but I am not really missing out for not having it.

You forgot to print the current DIR.

local background = colors.white
local text = colors.black
while true do
  term.setBackgroundColor(background)
  term.setTextColor(text)
  write(shell.dir() .. '>')
  shell.run(read())
end

That would add 256 recipes… I'm guessing Cloudy or Dan wouldn't want to do that… plus not many people like the idea… so it probably will not happen

I believe that the item for the dyes is called item.dyepoweder so its only oner recipe and the colors can be in nbt so only one extra id(or that nbt in a normal computer meaning no extra ids)

Thats still 256 more recipes… and, as I said, just use a advanced computer.

I'm gonna go ahead and lock this.
