IFPatcher
by eve0415
IFPatcher is a Forge patch for Industrial Foregoing 1.12.2, a machine mod whose official support ended, fixing known bugs and adding a set of behavior changes.
What it does
Industrial Foregoing 1.12.2 has reached end of life, and IFPatcher carries fixes for several of its known bugs. It is a server-side mod: only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. Its required dependency is Industrial Foregoing itself, which must be present for the patches to apply.
Beyond bug fixes, the patch changes how some machines behave. Multiple insertion upgrades can duplicate items through one conveyor belt, pumps are adjusted to work under proper conditions, and fluid buckets can be filled directly from the GUI. Brewing with the nether wart starting ingredient is covered, Potion of Weakness is included, tilling blocks becomes possible, and the dirt and grass longevity options are extended. A blacklist stops certain mobs from being imprisoned, and wildcard matching is supported.
The project is open source under the MIT License. It was first published on 2024-04-08 and last updated on 2026-05-28, and the latest Forge file, 2.5.0 for 1.12.2, dates from 2026-05-28. The author states that the patch targets the most recent build of Industrial Foregoing, and that other requested issues are fixed as time allows.

How it compares
MTE Patches is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 with an MIT License and open source code. It can run on a client, a server or both, which differs from IFPatcher's server-side only setup. IAP [Industrial Foregoing] is a Forge patch for 1.16.5 – 1.18.2 that needs the client and server together, and it is closed source under All rights reserved. IFPatcher targets 1.12.2 alone, so it does not cover the later versions of the mod that IAP patches.
