Ender IO - Machines
by Team EnderIO
Ender IO - Machines supplies the machine blocks that Ender IO's modular installations rely on, including smelters, mills, generators and chargers, for Forge 1.12.2.
What it does
Ender IO - Machines is a Forge module for 1.12.2 that adds the machine layer of the Ender IO tech set. It covers four simple machines such as an alloy smelter, a crafter, a sag mill and a Stirling generator, seven generators including combustion, solar and zombie variants, and a range of machine-like blocks such as buffers, tanks, lights, a travel anchor, a vacuum chest and an XP block. Six obelisks, among them the attractor, aversion, inhibitor, relocator, weather and XL obelisks, sit in the same group.
The module needs Ender IO - Base and EnderCore to load. It is not meant to be installed next to the monolithic Ender IO mod, which the incompatibility line lists, so players who want the full set usually pick the monolithic version instead. Many of its items and blocks use crafting recipes, and those recipes are only available when the module is present. Because it is a Forge module, it only targets 1.12.2 and has no files for other loaders or game versions.
The mod is open source under The Unlicense and is available as source code with a public issue tracker. Client and server both need it, so every player on a server that runs it installs the module too.
