Magic Industries

by _Allex0

Magic Industries combines mana machines and electricity-based machines in one Forge and NeoForge mod, with new ores, materials, fluids and some Curios items.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.12.2 – 1.21.11

What it does

The mod adds two kinds of machinery: mana-powered machines and machines that run on FE, the Forge Energy unit. Players also get new ores, blocks, materials, fluids and flasks. Equipment can be worn through Curios, and worn items have different effects. Curios API is required, and it needs Baubles version 1.12.2 to be present alongside it.

The mana system is not finished yet. The author has added some machines and items so far and plans to add more, and expects that some parts are not balanced and that bugs remain. Mekanism is optional and can serve as a source of FE-compatible wires and cables for moving power between machines. Just Enough Items (JEI) is also optional. Magic Industries runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, with 1.5.3 as the latest build for NeoForge 1.21.1 and Forge 1.21.11. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Mana machines

    Machines powered by mana are part of the mod, though the mana system is still a non-functional early version.

  2. FE energy machines

    Machines that use FE electricity are added alongside the mana machines, so both power types appear in one mod.

  3. New ores and materials

    Some ores, blocks, materials, fluids and flasks are added to the game as new resources.

  4. Curios equipment with effects

    Equipment worn through Curios carries different effects, and the equipment wears down with use.

What the author says

This is my first mod that I'm coding completely from scratch, without MCreator or other mod-making tools, so I'm learning a lot while making it. Magic Industries is a Minecraft mod that adds both magic and technology.
