[IU] Additions

by AETeRnAL

[IU] Additions is a Forge add-on for Draconic Evolution and Botania that adds energy shield armor, converters and power-tier blocks for 1.12.2.

ForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.12.2

What it does

Armor pieces can take up to 4 modules, and with 4 modules installed some specs complete a full set. Each armor tier raises the recovery rate and the shield capacity, so a higher tier holds more energy and refills faster.

The Spectral Quantum Converter moves energy in both directions between Draconic Evolution energy and Redstone Flux, with the rest of the story matching the same EF version. Both DE converters need Draconic Evolution and PowerUtilities[IU in place before they will operate. Mana converters handle the Botania side: they accept EF energy and convert it to mana at a ratio set by a config coefficient, and they can also turn mana back into EF. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code is public.

Installation covers the server and each player's game. Most values are config options, and the defaults change little, so most players can leave them alone. Files exist for 1.12.2 only, and the latest Forge build is 1.6.1 for 1.12.2, published on 2026-03-16 after a first release on 2025-06-16.

Key features

  1. Draconic shield modules

    Modules slot into armor pieces, up to 4 per piece, and raise the armor tier, recovery rate and shield capacity.

  2. Nano and quantum armor sets

    Each step from Nano through Spectral adds a higher armor tier, with shielded gear that gains recovery rate and shield capacity as modules are fitted.

  3. Spectral Quantum Converter

    A converter that moves energy in both directions between Draconic Evolution energy and Redstone Flux.

  4. Mana converter

    Accepts EF energy and converts it to mana at a configurable ratio, and can convert mana back to EF energy.

  5. Adjacent mana exchange

    Draws from and exports to adjacent Botania mana pools, mana buffers and other converters, except through the top side.

  6. Power tier upgrades

    Transfer rate depends on the converter's tier, and Transformer and Energy Upgrades raise it along with the buffer size.
