Draconic Machinery
by realzhefop
Draconic Machinery is a Forge addon for 1.16.5 that expands the technical side of Draconic Evolution with new processing blocks and tools.
What it does
Draconic Machinery adds a set of machine tiers that extend the mod it builds on, Draconic Evolution, from the energy and item-handling side. Its blocks cover generators, a player grinder, a chunk loader, an energy core, a sun dial, a crafting injector, an item router and an item receiver, along with several furnace and solar panel tiers. Oxygen pads and spreaders, a chaos collector, a chaotic food spreader and an alarm add more specialized machinery.
Redstone parts make up the control layer: a liquid meter, a keystone, a wireless activator and an energy meter. Cards for biometric access, energy and liquid location, redstone control and awakened upgrades sit alongside a key admin key block, an inspector staff and a creativity item. The chaos heart and redstone core complete the set.
The addon is published for Forge on 1.16.5 only, under the MIT License, and is not open source. Both the server and each player need it, since it runs on client and server. Its official Draconic Evolution dependency is not listed as required here, so check the mod page before installing.

How it compares
Custom DE Upgrade Recipes is a Forge addon for 1.12.2 under a custom license, and it is not open source; it changes upgrade recipes rather than adding machinery. Draconic Evolution is the base mod for Forge and NeoForge across 1.7.10 – 1.21.1, under a custom license, and is not open source. Chaotic Energy Crystal is open source under the MIT License, published for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, which makes it a separate energy option rather than a machinery addon.
