GregTech CE Unofficial
by serenibyss
GregTech CE Unofficial is a Forge fork of GregTech CE for Minecraft 1.12.2 that continues the mod's progression development and reworks several of its systems.
What it does
Work on the mod continues GregTech CE on 1.12.2 with new content, a reworked fluid pipe and energy cable system, and a new item pipe system intended for high throughput and configurable logistics. Several GTCE bugs are addressed, including invisible blocks and infinite amperage, and ores are rebalanced across different stone types so they do not clog player inventories. World generation receives its own set of changes, and virtual fluid veins can be harvested.
The author states that performance and quality of life are the main aims, with the goal of improving on GTCE for players who want a single-tier 1.12.2 GregTech experience. Emissive textures and bloom are added for fancy rendering. The mod is intended to sit alongside several other GregTech add-ons, among them Shadows, TecTech and Horizons GT IMPACT. It requires CodeChickenLib, and 18 other mods require GregTech CE Unofficial, including GTExpertCore, Gregicality Multiblocks, SussyPatches, GTConsolidate and Material Replication. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
