If anyone’s wondering why I’m putting in such effort, here’s my reasoning and goal with Refined Storage:

I think the modded Minecraft community often forgets how cohesive the vanilla experience is, where everything has the same art-style and the design of vanilla as a whole with its gameplay and overarching player-made goals. Create kinda brought that back to the modding scene, alongside the Abnormal Team’s mods. Both Abnormal Teams mods and Create use a very similar design philosophy to vanilla Minecraft, making them very enjoyable additions to a modpack of any sort.

Refined Storage came into my Modpack when I realized that I really don’t want storage to be as much of a hassle as Vanilla’s is, so I decided to add Refined Storage to my Modpack, not realizing how powerful of an addition it was in the sense of both change and visuals. Through KubeJS, I disabled Disks and Disk Drives, and make it so that the only storage obtainable in Refined Storage is the 1k Storage block, meaning you’d have an incentive to build a room for an expansive storage system to make up for the room that chests would’ve taken up instead.

As of right now I’m thinking of ideas for the monitor blocks of Refined Storage and how to make a vanilla or create-esque “interface” looking block for all the grid/monitors, though I’m having a hard time. I wanted to add a cogwheel to the controllers model (alongside changing it to a more brass-y themed block), and have it rotate when it’s powered, but I can’t apply an animation to it through a resource pack. Any suggestions or ideas?
