Alex's Caves - Enlightend Compat
by Kanadeyoru
Alex's Caves - Enlightend Compat is a Forge add-on that adjusts uranium, irradium and related items, blocks and mobs so that Alex's Caves and Enlightend work together in one modpack.
What it does
The compat mod removes duplicate items, blocks and mobs that Alex's Caves and Enlightend both add, and redirects anything that depended on a removed entry to the remaining equivalent. Recipes and loot tables are adjusted to match, including the uranium recipe, which now requires irradium, and the Radrock Uranium Ore drop, which yields irradium instead of uranium. The Tremorzilla loot table is changed as well, with depleted irradium and uranium shards removed from its drops.
It runs on the Forge loader for 1.20.1 only, and requires Alex's Caves and Enlightend to be installed beside it. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are also listed for 1.18.2 and 1.19.2 on the catalog, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
