Mechanical Tech

by Eng1N33R

Mechanical Tech adds primitive machinery that runs on mechanical power from waterwheels, windmill sails and hand-cranks instead of electricity or magic.

What it does

Power comes from turning waterwheels, windmill sails or hand-cranks, so the machines in the mod work with mechanical power rather than the electric, magical or biological systems found in other technology mods. The design aims at a vanilla-like feel, keeping the progression simple and close to the base game.

The Grinder doubles ore output, and the Sawmill doubles wood. The Mill produces food recipes, and a wind and water motion system drives the machines. Mechanical Tech is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, with a single build, 0.2.0+1.16.4, for 1.16.4.

A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The author notes that core concepts, recipes and machine behaviors may still change, and that the mod is listed as stable in its final form.
