🔥 Machine & Hopper Acceleration
📌 Repository Source Disclaimer: The documentation in this Wiki reflects the current source code state in the repository, which may include recent unreleased commits or developmental features ahead of public release builds on CurseForge and Modrinth.
⚙️ Overview & Mechanical Problem
When world time is accelerated by a factor of $\text{Stride} \times$ during sleep, standard block entity tickers (furnaces, brewing stands, smokers) would normally only tick once per physical engine tick.
Without compensation, a furnace would only smelt $2.5\times$ faster during sleep instead of matching the full $50\times$ or $250\times$ celestial time-lapse.
True Sleep solves this by intercepting Level.tickBlockEntities() and executing multi-tick bursts on verified production machines and coupled hoppers.
🏭 Accelerated Production Machines
True Sleep checks every ticking block entity against the #truesleep:accelerated_machines tag and cached string patterns:
| Block Entity | Vanilla Namespace ID | Acceleration Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Furnace | minecraft:furnace | Smelts items and consumes fuel $N\times$ faster per engine tick. |
| Blast Furnace | minecraft:blast_furnace | Smelts ores and metal items at hyperspeed. |
| Smoker | minecraft:smoker | Cooks food at hyperspeed. |
| Brewing Stand | minecraft:brewing_stand | Brews potions and consumes blaze powder at hyperspeed. |
| Campfire | minecraft:campfire | Cooks up to 4 food items simultaneously at hyperspeed. |
| Soul Campfire | minecraft:soul_campfire | Cooks food items at hyperspeed with soul fire particles. |
| Beehive / Bee Nest | minecraft:beehive, minecraft:bee_nest | Matures honey levels at matching warp rates. |
| Modded Tech Machines | Auto-detected (generators, smelters, crushers, grinders) | Multi-ticks modded processing machines automatically! |
🚰 Intelligent Hopper Coupling
Accelerating furnaces without accelerating their input/output hoppers causes bottlenecks: a furnace smelting 20 items per second would starve because a vanilla hopper only pushes 1 item every 8 ticks.
True Sleep implements Coupling Verification: A hopper is accelerated only if it is directly coupled to a production machine (either pointing into it or feeding from above):
[ Input Chest ]

[ Hopper (Accelerated) ] ◄── Verified Coupling: Points into Furnace

[ Output Chest ]Safety Decoupling
Hoppers not connected to production machines (such as item sorters, dropper clocks, or storage conduits) tick at normal speed to prevent chunk overload or lag spikes.
