Create boilers

The optional create addon monitors steam boilers on Minecraft 1.21.1 with Create 6.0.10. A Fluid Tank structure becomes a boiler when a Steam Engine or Steam Whistle is attached. Connect a Peripheral Cable to any loaded tank block, then give that block a unique name with the Peripheral Configurator. An adjacent tank block can also be addressed by side. The reading comes from the structure’s controller, so every segment of the same boiler reports the same values.

Enable the addon with addons = ["create"] in compukter.toml, or accept a Boilers completion in the attached IDE.

import create.boiler.Boilers

fun main() {
    val boiler = Boilers.boiler("main_boiler")
    println("Water: ${boiler.waterSupply()} mB/t, level ${boiler.waterLevel()}")
    println("Heat: ${boiler.heatLevel()}, boiler level ${boiler.level()}")
    println("Passive heating: ${boiler.isPassive()}")
}

Boilers.front.boiler() and the other five side accessors work on the adjacent block. Only an active boiler can be acquired; an ordinary Fluid Tank is unavailable. A handle is tied to the exact selected tank block and its current controller. Removing or replacing either block, changing the controller or tank size, unloading it, or breaking the named cable path invalidates the handle. Reconnecting requires acquiring a new handle.

Method	Meaning
`waterSupply(): Float`	Create’s sampled incoming water rate in millibuckets per tick; this is not stored water.
`waterLevel(): Int`	Water contribution to the boiler level, clamped to 0–18. Create derives it from the sampled supply: 10 mB/t per level, rounding supply upward before integer division.
`heatLevel(): Int`	Create’s heat gauge before water and size limits. Passive heat returns one, as shown by Engineer’s Goggles.
`level(): Int`	Effective active level: the minimum of active heat, water level, and the tank-size limit, clamped by Create to 0–18.
`isPassive(): Boolean`	Whether Create reports passive heating when the boiler has enough size and water. Passive operation has no numerical active level, so `level()` remains zero.

These are live server readings. Separate calls can observe different ticks; the API does not freeze a snapshot. The boiler consumes incoming water as supply instead of storing a visible water amount. The integration only reads Create state; water pipes, pumps, and heat sources remain controlled by their own machinery.
