Create: FTB Chunks Compat
Makes FTB Chunks claims protect against Create's machines.
Without this mod, Create can get around claims. A Mechanical Piston can pull blocks out of someone else's base, a Drill parked next to a claim can dig into it, and a Schematicannon can print straight into it. This mod closes those gaps.

What's protected
Inside a claim you don't have permission to edit:
- Contraptions can't pick up blocks, place blocks, or break blocks (pistons, bearings, gantries, pulleys, minecarts, trains)
- Drills, Saws, Harvesters, Ploughs and other moving actors do nothing
- Stationary Drills and Saws can't break blocks across the claim border
- Super Glue can't be placed into or removed from the claim
- Schematicannons skip claimed blocks
- Machine settings (wrench scroll values, Sequenced Gearshifts, Display Links, Mechanical Arms, Weighted Ejectors, etc.) can't be changed
- Belts can't be laid through the claim
- Redstone Link frequencies can't be changed
- Linked Controllers can't be bound to the claim's links or activate its receivers
A machine has the same access as the claim it stands in. A piston in claim A can push into claim B
only if A's owner has access to B, no matter who placed it. A machine in unclaimed land has no
owner, and unownedContraptionPolicy decides what it may do.
Item logistics
Items carried by belts, chutes, funnels, Mechanical Arms, Weighted Ejectors, tunnels, chain conveyors and Frogports stop at a claim border. An item can go from claim A into claim B only if A's owner has access to B. Machines can't pull items out of a claim their owner can't access either.
Item Vaults and Fluid Tanks won't merge across claims, and Portable Storage Interfaces won't connect to a contraption whose owner can't access the claim.
Dropped items are not affected. They still fly and fall across claims.
Rotation
Shafts, cogs and other rotating blocks don't connect across a claim border unless both owners have access to each other's claim. A neighbour can't take power from your machines, overstress them, or break them by spinning the other way. Unclaimed land counts as nobody's, so rotation stops at the edge of your claim.
Redstone Links
Redstone Links work across claims by default, like normal Create. Set guardRedstoneLinks to
true so links only talk to links in chunks claimed by the same team.
