Peripheral for detecting chest/ender chest(Tekkit Lite - MC 1.4.7)

Hello

I've tried searching about in the peripheral forum but all I could find was the OpenPeripheral, and as far is I could tell only supported MC1.5+.
Is there some other peripheral set that allows me to detect various kinds of chests?

Try using the function turtle.compare(slot).
For example:
You have a chest in front of the turtle, and a chest in slot one of the turtle. Calling turtle.compare(1) should return true, as the block matches the item in the slot. This should work for Ender chests as well, although I am unsure as to how the color codes would influence it.

Otherwise you could just get with the times and ditch Tekkit and update to a new version of Minecraft.

I thought of that, but it would be nice not having to use a extra slot for a compare item.

I suppose so, but I don't want to leave my server behind.

That's the price you have to pay for using an outdated client ;)/>

MC 1.6.4 offers so many advantages over the outdated Tekkit junk. I would advise putting together your own modpack - it takes some time, but it is definitely worth it. If you want to utilize my own list of mods, they are listed below:

It's slightly more limited than many of the modpacks out there - however, I have not found it to be lacking in much. A few of the mods in the list are not yet updated, but for the most part they are.

Thanks for the input Bubba, I'll take a look at this. Maybe I'll be able to herd my friends over to a new world.
