Minimum For Maximum
by rewqazwas
Minimum For Maximum is a NeoForge technology mod that automates mob loot and resource generation through scanners, index inscribers and generators, with upgrades for speed, stack size and drops.
What it does
The mod focuses on replacing large, laggy mob farms with a compact setup. A Craft Scanner locates the mob a player wants to automate, and once a mob has been scanned, a Memory Shard can be written with its data using an Index Inscriber. Inserting the shard into an Eternal Generator then starts the production of that mob's loot and experience.
Eternal Generators can be powered with mob loot and XP, and a Block Replicator or Fluid Replicator extends automation to building materials. Generators accept modules that customise their output, and the machines push finished items into adjacent storage containers without pipes. Progression runs through distinct tiers, each raising efficiency and speed.
Minimum For Maximum is published for NeoForge only, in version 3.0.0 for 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is available as a public source repository, but the license is All rights reserved, which means the mod is not open source.
Key features
Scanning and indexing
A Craft Scanner finds the mob to automate, and an Index Inscriber encodes its data onto a Memory Shard.
Eternal Generators
Inserting a shard into a generator starts loot and XP production, powered by the mob loot it produces.
Upgrade modules
Speed, stack and extra drop upgrades fine-tune each production line, so more items come from one cycle.
Automatic export
Generators push produced items into adjacent containers, removing the need for extra pipes.

Use cases
Replacing mob farms
A compact generator setup can stand in for a large mob farm that would otherwise take up much of a world.
Who it’s for: Players on NeoForge 1.21.1 servers who want progression-based automation of mob loot and building materials, and server owners who want a single compact system for it.
How it compares
Replication Upgrade is an MIT-licensed NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 with the same client and server environment. Generator Galore covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, so it has a longer version range, and it is released under the All rights reserved license. Minimum For Maximum shares the All rights reserved license with Generator Galore and is not open source.
