Mekanism Matter
by realzhefop
Mekanism Matter is an unofficial Mekanism addon for Forge that adds machines for converting energy and Universal Matter into items.
What it does
The addon sits on top of the Mekanism modules and adds machines that exchange energy for matter and matter back for energy. Its stated aim is a balanced way to obtain items that are otherwise hard to get in large quantities. Recipes for the new machines can be customized, and the card lists the full set of possible item, energy and matter conversions.
Several machines are included: a Matter Fabricator, a Matter Synthesizer, a Matter Analyser and a Scanner that stores scanned items, plus a Pattern Storage and an Antimatter Synthesizer. An Arc Furnace works like a normal smelting machine but fuses items together. Mekanism Matter links to Mekanism, Mekanism Additions, Mekanism Tools and Mekanism Generators, and it needs Mekanism to load. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Files exist for 1.16.5 and 1.18.2, with 2.0.0 for 1.18.2 as the latest build, published on 2024-02-09. Some extra features are noted only for 1.16.5, and a Naquadah Reactor and Trinium content appear among the advanced parts. Snapshot builds are not published.
Key features
Energy and matter conversion
Machines convert energy into Universal Matter and back, so matter-based items can be produced from power.
Matter Fabricator and Synthesizer
The Matter Fabricator and Matter Synthesizer turn matter into items, with a Recycler that produces scrap.
Scanner and pattern storage
A Scanner stores items it scans, and Pattern Storage keeps the patterns used by the matter machines.
Arc Furnace
Rather than cooking single items one at a time, the Arc Furnace joins several inputs into one result, working like a standard smelter in every other respect.
