Crafting Space Journey
Crafting Space Journey is a technology mod built around 3×3 crafting, with machines, multiblocks and space dimensions added to the game.
What it does
The mod centers progression on machines that are crafted on a 3×3 grid and then placed in the world. A machine such as the Ore Refiner or the Meat Processing Machine transforms the block it is placed on, so placing one on a block changes that block into a new result. Processing chains are long, and several machines need a multiblock arrangement before they work.
Crafting Space Journey is built in ten tiers. Tier 0 introduces early-game mechanics, such as roasting sunflowers for edible seeds and washing raw ores with water for double yields, before the player reaches Tier 1. Space dimensions are added as part of the progression.
Its machines and items are intentionally expensive to craft, and most crafting machines require RF or FE external power. The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 and on NeoForge for 1.21.1. It is distributed under All rights reserved and is not open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Text is available in English and Japanese.

What the author says
I use generative AI during the development of this mod for tasks such as English translation and researching real-world production processes, but all programming and artwork are done entirely by myself. This mod does not add any space dimensions.
