Automati

Automati builds a small tier-1 industrial chain around its own energy unit, the Erg. A Coal Generator burns coal or charcoal and produces Ergs inside an animated firebox, and fuel that burns out leaves ash behind that must be removed or the machine clogs. A Crusher pulverizes raw metals into dust, turns silk-touched ore into smelting-ready material, and grinds cobblestone, gravel and bone. Crushing recipes live in data files under data/automati/recipe/crushing, so datapacks can add, remove or rebalance them.

Energy moves through the standard Forge energy capability, so hoppers and other mods' machines can connect to the same grid. The Erg Jar stores power and acts as the grid's battery, while a Load Bank lets a player dial in a dump rate to burn off surplus Ergs and stress-test the network. The machines in Automati play synthesized sounds written for the mod, and each one has subtitles, while the interface shows ridged energy gauges, warning lamps and tooltips in the GUI.

The mod is published for Forge only and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its source code and issue tracker are public, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
