Alkali Metals Mod
by erettike
Alkali Metals Mod adds five ingots and six ores that react strongly with water, along with a power-generating machine that runs on the metals.
What it does
The mod adds five new ingots and six new ores to a world, where they generate naturally throughout the overworld. Several of the metals are rare and turn up in the Nether. Each metal reacts with water, which is the central mechanic the mod is built around.
A machine in the mod converts alkali metals into power, so the ingots serve as fuel as well as crafting material. The metals are also intended as an endgame material, giving players a late-game resource to work toward. Tinkers' Construct integration is full, and the RF energy used by the power machine works with CoFH Core, which is an optional dependency. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.7.10, and the MIT License covers the code. The mod is not open source.
