AnvilCraft
by AnvilDev
AnvilCraft is a technology mod built around anvils, adding machines that use them to process materials and move items.
What it does
The mod adds an anvil-based machine line for processing materials. A magnet draws an anvil into the air and releases it, recharging redstone in the process. Crushing turns rocks into powder, pressing squeezes liquid out of a block, and item compression packs loose items together. Cutting separates tightly bound items, rolling flattens material into thin sheets, bulging expands material with water, and crystallization treats material with fine snow.
AnvilCraft needs AnvilLib, Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and AnvilLib is bundled inside the mod. It is incompatible with WTHIT. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
