Deep Mob Evolution

by ThePansmith

Deep Mob Evolution is a Forge technology mod for 1.12.2 that turns mob kills into Data Models, Matter and loot.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.12.2

What it does

Players train against monsters, either in the world or virtually in a Simulation Chamber, using Data Models that define each mob type and tier. Simulating a model yields two kinds of matter, Living Matter and Pristine Matter, and higher tier models produce more matter of the type they represent. Data Model types and tiers, along with their trials and textures, are set through JSON files, and the recipes and products for Living Matter are defined in config as well.

The mod is a continuation of the DML Rewrite line, adding machines that can be set to run only with a redstone signal, always, or never while powered. A Deep Learner must be crafted first and fed one Data Model to begin the chain, and the model has to reach at least the Basic tier before a Simulation Chamber can start producing matter. Simulation Chambers and Loot Fabricators both require Forge Energy, and both can be automated with vanilla hoppers or with pipes from mods such as Thermal Expansion, item ducts and EnderIO conduits.

Living Matter relates to a dimension of mobs and is used in crafting a range of loot items, while Pristine Matter is a unique Data Model type that, once placed in a Loot Fabricator, lets the player choose the produced loot. Data Model textures for Pristine and Living Matter can be supplied through a resource pack. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code, issue tracker and wiki publicly available.

Key features

  1. JSON-configurable Data Models

    Data Model types, tiers and trials are defined in JSON, and existing ones can be changed or removed.

  2. Simulation Chamber

    Models are used in a machine that simulates a fight with the mob and produces two types of matter.

  3. Redstone control

    Machines can be set to run only with a signal, always, or with the signal off, and can be automated by hoppers and pipes.

  4. Loot Fabricator choice

    Pristine Matter placed in a Loot Fabricator produces a selectable loot item, while Living Matter feeds a set of crafted loot items.
