Magmachines
Magmachines lets players turn magma into Forge Energy fuel and build machines that move power around a base.
What it does
The mod adds a way to use magma as a source of energy: magma is converted into Forge Energy, which powers machines. Encased magma blocks can be placed as a heat transferer, set on top of another block to pass heat along. Energy transportation blocks carry power between machines, and placing them on top of a machine feeds it. Magmachines works only with other mods that use Forge Energy and are installed alongside it.
Magmachines runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge only, with a single game version: 1.20.1. Its latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2024-02-12, and the mod is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
