Ex Nihilo Fabricio
Ex Nihilo Fabricio is a Fabric mod that reworks resource gathering into machines, crops and island progression, built on the Ex Nihilo idea.
What it does
The mod replaces slow grinding with machinery. A Crusher and a Placer break down blocks into materials, a Sieve produces resources from gathered pieces, and a Cobble Generator makes cobblestone automatically. Ore Chunks feed into these machines, so players spend less time on repetitive gathering and more on building.
Progression is organized around an island. Compost blocks slowly dry out dirt to expand the island, and Island Seedlings are thrown to grow new land. A Farmer Sprinkler helps keep the farm running. Cook Farm adds crops such as tomatoes, onions and cabbage, and a set of 40 foods, which yield saplings, seeds and oil, plus cheese, butter and vinegar made in new barrels.
Ex Nihilo Fabricio is built for Fabric, targets 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 and runs on client and server. It is not open source; the code is released under All rights reserved, while the source code and issue tracker are public.
