Factorization
Factorization is a Forge storage and technology mod for Minecraft 1.8.9 that adds minimalist parts to expand vanilla redstone automation.
What it does
Factorization adds small machine parts that extend redstone automation beyond what vanilla Minecraft offers, and it has many other features that the author describes as a broad collection of additions. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, and both the server and each player need it installed, since the environment is client and server.
Its files target the 1.2.5 – 1.8.9 range across nine release versions, with the latest Forge build, 0.9.35 for 1.8.9, dated 2022-05-30 on the alpha channel. The project was first published on 2022-05-29. The project started in July 2012 with its original author, and it reached Modrinth later under the ModrinthArchives account after that author gave consent; the upload is kept as an archive because development has stopped. A copy of the in-game manual is available outside Minecraft, and the source code and a wiki are both linked.
Key features
Redstone automation parts
Minimalist parts extend vanilla redstone, letting builders automate tasks the base game does not cover.

A crafted programmer unit is used in recipes and teaches the mod's mechanics, with an in-game manual included.
Hammer and colossus interaction
The hammer item is used for certain interactions, and a configuration file allows its channels to be disabled.

Translations are provided for Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), German, Spanish, French (France and Canada) and Czech.
