Modular Machinery Reborn
by alec016
Modular Machinery Reborn lets modpack makers define custom multiblock machines, with recipes written in JSON or scripted through KubeJS.
What it does
Modular Machinery Reborn is a port of the original Modular Machinery mod. A machine is built as a multiblock from decorative casings, and tiered casings control which item, fluid and energy input and output buses or hatches can be used. Machines can be modeled on existing machinery from other mods, such as the Gregtech Implosion Compressor or Vacuum Freezer, or on anything a pack author imagines.
The mod is aimed at people who assemble modpacks. Its toolset lets them add, adjust or remove machine recipes so the machines fit the pack being built. A datapack loader reads machine and recipe JSON files, and the repository includes a test datapack with an example machine recipe. Mod compatibility with KubeJS allows recipes to be created from a server script, with a test script included as an example. The mod requires ATHENA and ExperienceLib.
Modular Machinery Reborn is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21 and 1.21.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source.
