Factorial
by mrzblj
Factorial is a Forge technology mod for 1.20.1 that adds machines for processing raw materials, alloying metals and growing crystals.
What it does
Factorial adds a set of powered machines to automate resource processing. A press turns ingots and plates into crafted items, and a crushing machine turns raw materials such as granite, diorite and andesite into dusts, with the output doubled compared with the raw input. The alloy smelter combines two materials into an alloy, and the Alloy Forge handles more advanced alloys such as Voidsteel, running regular alloys faster than the smelter does.
The mod also includes a crystal growing machine that produces amethyst, echo shards and redstone, plus multiblock machines built from several blocks for more advanced purposes. Its content extends to over ten new materials, twenty-plus machines, building blocks such as the Cognite block set and cut block variants, and foods like Chocolate, along with gameplay mechanics named Shield Resonance and Sculk Silencer.
The mod is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Factorial is published for Forge only, with the latest file 1.2.1 for 1.20.1 released on 2026-08-12. The first release was on 2026-05-29.
Key features
Crushing and doubled dust output
Raw materials such as granite, diorite and andesite are crushed into dusts, and the machine yields twice the amount of material.
Press for ingots and plates
The press turns ingots and plates into crafted items, automating a step that otherwise takes manual work.
Crystal growing machine
Amethyst, echo shards and redstone can be grown automatically in the machine, supplying those materials without mining.
Alloy smelter and Alloy Forge
The smelter combines two materials into alloys, while the Alloy Forge produces advanced alloys such as Voidsteel faster than regular alloying.
