Create: New Age / Alex's Caves Integration
by Gallichron
Create: New Age / Alex's Caves Integration links the nuclear and magnetic content of Alex's Caves with the tech tree of Create: New Age.
What it does
In the New Age reactor, the irradiated effect from the caves applies to whatever is running there, so a reactor built in this integration exposes players to the same radiation the caves introduce. Materials found in radioactive caves can be used as reactor fuel, and materials from magnetic caves can feed power generation.
Alternate recipes change parts of the New Age tech tree so that it leans more on items from Alex's Caves. The mod is an opinionated integration of two similarly themed feature sets, and it is not a standalone addition: Alex's Caves and Create: New Age must both be installed. Files target Forge for 1.20 – 1.20.4, with 1.20.1-1.0.0 for 1.20.4 as the latest file, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the MIT License.

How it compares
CBC: Nuclear is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment, released under the MIT License and open source, but it adds its own nuclear content instead of linking to the caves. Create: Alex's Caves Compat is also Forge for 1.20.1, open source under the MIT License, and runs on client and server, but focuses on compatibility between Create and the caves rather than changing the New Age tech tree. Dea's Fission is Forge for 1.20.1, client and server, and not open source, as its license is All rights reserved.
