Immersive Geology
by muddykat
With Immersive Engineering installed, Immersive Geology adds new mineral veins, ores and multiblock processing machines to the world.
What it does
Immersive Geology is an add-on for Immersive Engineering and needs it to run. It adds new ores, mineral veins that players find while exploring, and multiblock structures for processing those resources. It also includes detailed engineering tools and machinery meant to optimize production. Some vanilla ores are removed from world generation, so the new minerals take their place in the ground.
The mod is aimed at survival players and engineers who want a richer resource loop, moving from gathering to industrialization. The author describes it as a way to explore real-world ore processing, and the project publishes a developer tutorial on aluminum processing. TerraFirmaCraft is an optional dependency, and the mod works alongside other technology-focused mods.
Files exist for Forge and NeoForge. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 1.20.1, with the latest Forge file 0.9.1-b5525 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file 0.5.6-b47 for 1.20.1 on the beta channel. Client and server both need the mod, and the code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source.
