Hi everyone. Here is a few ideas that i have had for computercraft.

1: External Hard drives (Acts as a floppy drive that's not removable and can be changed in config file)

2: Motherboard Api (An api that allows getting information from the main board example: Mobo.GetCPUType)

3: speaker (Normal and advanced. Normal speakers can produce beep sounds and are built into every computer. Advanced speakers can Adlib like sound)

4: Programmable logic controller (This allows controlling long distance redstone and can be programmed with extra io expansions and an internal eprom.)

5: Actual bios and self test (it will check for any thing connected to it and for anything else. Pressing a certain key will open up the bios menu)

6: Realistic noises (Fan noises and drive noises)

7: Servers (Thin computers that can go into a server rack. Or could be a tower that lacks a monitor)

8: Raid (Allows combining of multiple hard drives into 1. Also could be used as a nas to backup data)

9: Computers overheating (If the temp gets to high the computer will catch fire)

Of course i am not trying to make the mod more advanced I am trying to make it more realistic.

You may like this mod, it has a lot of those features already.

Like Lupus suggested, you'll want to check out Open Computers.

ComputerCraft is less realistic to let you focus on the programming aspect of the mod.

Yea. I used oc for my data center. Computercraft is more like a thing for controlling other things and for coding (scada and learning code) is what computercraft is for.

opencomputers is more of an "IT Mod" then anything else. However this place is for computercraft and not for opencomputers.

In fact most of my suggestions are based off of oc. I just wanted to know if you can one mod that can do the same as 2 by combining features.

I don't want to speak for the mod developer (Dan200), but asHPWebcamAble said, ComputerCraft focuses on the programming of the computers and not the computers themselves. CC also aims for simplicity on getting to the programming stage, where as OpenComputers is more about realistic computers in MineCraft including simulated hardware limitations (power, ram, clock speed).

The goals of the two mods are quite different, and the people who use the mods enjoy them because of those differences.

With this in mind, the only suggestion that you listed which I see could be included without changing what CC stands for is the speakers. But alot of peripheral addons add one of those already.

You can program that yourself

I think FoxData is referring to a new block that is something like a multipart, so smaller than a block.
It would be a nice aesthetic option, but again, ComputerCraft isn't about aesthetics

So basically you want OpenComputers?
