Recipes

Block	Recipe	Gives
Lua Box	4 iron ingots in the corners, 4 redstone in the sides, 1 paper in the middle	1
Data Pipe	planks, paper, planks in a row	8
Redstone Port	1 Data Pipe and 1 redstone dust, in any order	1

All three break fastest with an axe.

A first program

1. Place a Lua Box, and a sign right next to it.

2. Write a file called main.lua in any text editor:

   local sign = network.find("sign")[1]
   sign.setLine(1, "Hello")
   while true do
     sign.setLine(2, textutils.formatTime(os.time("ingame"), true))
     sleep(1)
   end

3. Right-click the box and drag main.lua from your file manager onto its screen. The program starts at once.

The sign shows the time of the game. To change the program, change the file, drop it again and press Restart. More in Lua Box.
