Create Embers

So it seems I started a new modding project. Again. But before you go let me explain...
Once upon a Time
As you might know I am the author of Embers' Construct, a mod that connects Tinkers Construct and Embers Rekindled. And you also might know that I currently don't work on it anymore as I am not interested playing in an outdated version.
So what is the fix to this? Embers Rekindled has to be updated. BordListian, the author of Embers Rekindled, hasn't updated it yet for new versions. Probably because a lot has changed and it would be a massive undertaking porting Embers Rekindled to a new version. And I have the feeling that he won't update it because everyone bothers him to update it. So far the speculation.
I have played a lot with the Create mod over the last few months. At this point it might be the only mod I will ever play with again. It is well designed, polished, although it isn't technically released yet and the pondering, oh boi, its amazing.
Naturally, I wanted to get back into modding again and dabble around with Create. This is when it struck me. Why not "port" certain features of Embers to a Create addon. If you don't want it you don't have to play it and this isn't "official" either way. "Porting" should be taken lightheartedly though, because this is not a port. It is in no way compatible with your age old worlds or anything. This is just something that looks similar and functions similar but it is not the same.
The Progress
So, how far am I actually? Well, not really far to be honest. I have a working Stamper with stamps, I have molten metals, ingots, nuggets and plates. The fluid vessel is another thing I have implemented, it even has a pondering scene. A bit of everything I guess.
Yeah, that is that. I will see how much I will work on this in the coming months. So far the development has been really nice. Create adds a lot of framework code to make ones life easier. Pretty amazing if you ask me. Will I reimplement the codex? Probably not.
Ok, an update during the year, crazy. But I was in the mood. I don't think anybody reads this anyway lol.
You can find the repo as usual on GitHub.
