Modern Life

by darimus

Modern Life is a Forge and NeoForge mod that adds everyday vehicles, tools and furnishings, from bikes and chainsaws to glass doors and speedometers.

What it does

Modern Life adds a set of modern objects to the world: bikes, motorboats, chainsaws, cameras, paintings, roads, speedometers, flashlights and glass doors. Several of them are working tools rather than decoration. A photocopier duplicates photographs and drawings held in the player's hand, asking how many copies to make.

The Winch is a redstone-powered block that pulls other blocks up or down along a chain, and the Winch Anchor controls how the chain attaches to a block. Catwalks are decorative walkways whose railings can be removed by shift-clicking with an empty hand, which opens a path. Motorboats are four-person ocean vessels that need fuel; a gas can refills them. The motorboat's fire is also fed from a magazine in the inventory. The chainsaw is an item, and a crafting recipe for it is disabled in the default configuration. The mod needs both sides to run: the server and every player need it.

  1. Motorboat

    A four-person ocean vessel that runs on fuel and comes with a full tank, refillable with a gas can.

Questions

Does Modern Life need to be installed on the server?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Which loaders does Modern Life support?

Modern Life is published for Forge and NeoForge only.

Why is the chainsaw not craftable?

Its crafting recipe is disabled in the default configuration, so it must be enabled in the config to be made.
