## Usage

Gears can be placed against the side of a block, or in a block where an existing gear is. Up to four gears can exist in a single cube without jamming.

![Gears](https://commoble.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/images/morered/gears.png)

Gears will connect to other mechanical blocks that touch their face or to gears that touch their teeth.
Tooth-to-tooth connections invert rotation (clockwise to counterclockwise or vice-versa).
Gears will jam (or at least not work very well) if two power sources try to rotate a gear in both directions at once, or if three gears meet on a corner.

![Four gears arranged in a circle, which are able to move, and three gears meeting on a corner, which do not move](https://commoble.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/images/morered/gears_move_and_dont_move.png)

Crimson and warped gears are not flammable.

Single gear blocks have the following properties:

| Blockstate Properties | Values | Description
| --- | - | -
| `facing` | `{"down", "up", "north", "south", "west", "east"}` | Direction to the neighbor block the gear is attached to
| `waterlogged` | `{false, true}` | Whether the block is waterlogged

When multiple gears exist in one block, a special `morered:gears` block is used instead, which has the following properties:

| Blockstate Properties | Values | Description
| --- | - | -
| `waterlogged` | `{"false", "true"}` | Whether the block is waterlogged
| `transform` | `{"identity", "rot_180_face_xz", "rot_90_y_neg", "rot_80_y_pos", "invert_x", "invert_z", "swap_xz", "swap_neg_xz"}` | Set when the block is rotated/mirrored by structure generation or similar mechanics; it ensures blockentity data is transformed accordingly. When placed by a player, this will always be `"identity"`

Multi-gear blocks have blockentity data in the following format:
```json
{
	"morered:gears": {
		"down": <itemstack>, // optional field
		"up": <itemstack>, // optional field
		"north": <itemstack>, // optional field
		"south": <itemstack>, // optional field
		"west": <itemstack>, // optional field
		"east": <itemstack>, // optional field
	}
}
```
Where itemstacks are objects with the following format:
```json
{
	"count": 1, // can be any integer but will generally be 1
	"id": <string> // id of an item, such as "morered:oak_gear"
}
```
