Beep's Mean Crystalline Resource Machine (BMCRM)
by BeepSterr
Beep's Mean Crystalline Resource Machine, shortened to BMCRM, is a NeoForge technology mod in which resonating crystals generate resources passively after a player's first mining trip.
What it does
Crystals are made in three steps. The Crystal Infuser then gives a blank crystal a resource material, producing a dedicated resource crystal. Placed crystals work together with a Resonator, which reads the crystals that sit between it and the resource output and produces the infused resource over time. Modulators can augment nearby crystals, and one of them behaves a little differently, so players are encouraged to test layouts.
The mod is built to start early, so resource generation is available right after the first mining trip, with a cheap and simple entry tier. Material detection is tag-based, with exceptions where the tags do not match. Recipes for machines and crystals are included, and a crystal information display shows what a crystal does. BMCRM can be run with three machines as its starting requirement, and it does not require other mods, though it optionally integrates with a few.
Key features
Crystal forming
The Crystal Former turns common materials such as glass, amethyst and echo shards into blank crystals.
Crystal infusion
The Crystal Infuser combines a blank crystal with a material to make a dedicated resource crystal.
Passive resonance
A Resonator draws on the crystals placed around it and produces resources without manual harvesting.
Silk Touch crystals
A crystal with Silk Touch produces ore blocks in place of normal drops and affects a 3×3 area.
Fortune crystals
A Fortune crystal grants one level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 5 crystals, across a 5×5 shape.
Automatic smelting
A crystal can smelt the items it generates, so the output arrives already cooked.

What the author says
Beep's Mean Crystalline Resource Machine (BMCRM) is a mod built around resonating crystals. Form blank crystals, infuse them with a resource, then let a Resonator put them to work. You can be generating resources right after your first mining trip. Most resource-gen mods start "too late" for my taste (sorry Mystical…
