Assorted Core
Assorted Core is a library that supplies the shared foundation for other Assorted mods, with ores, machines and materials that those mods use.
What it does
The mod adds six metals, four gems, their ores and the machines that process them. The machines include an alloy forge that makes bronze, electrum, invar and steel, a grinding mill that doubles the output of ore, and dusts, gears and alloys used in crafting. Other Assorted mods draw on these materials, tools, armor and machines, while players who install only the core can use the ones they want.
Assorted Core requires Assorted Lib and Fabric API on Fabric. Installing it is simple on NeoForge, Forge and Fabric, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Worlds from version 10.x keep their blocks, items and recipes after an update. The settings file assortedcore-common.toml needs to be set again, since the mod now has its own configuration.
The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the mod open source. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across six game versions, 1.18.2 – 26.2, with the latest file for 26.2. Bugs can be reported on the GitHub issue tracker, and the source code and wiki are public.
