ModularMachinery: Community Edition
by Hikari_Nova
ModularMachinery: Community Edition is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 that extends the Modular Machinery machine system with new recipe types and additional inputs.
What it does
Modular Machinery: Community Edition customizes machinery with more capable features. Its controller GUI is larger and displays more information, and modpack makers can define a custom recipe failure operation, with the default operation handled by GuGu Utils.
New recipe types, material group inputs, catalyst inputs and per-tick fluid input and output extend what a machine can process. Energy core, energy input hatch and energy output hatch configurations are easier to find through search, and the project describes itself as a modernization of Modular Machinery with more customizable content.
The mod is published for 1.12.2 only, with 2.0.3 as the latest Forge file dated 2024-10-02. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the project is open source.
Key features
Larger controller GUI
The controller screen is larger and shows more information about the running structure.
New recipe types
Recipe types beyond the base set extend the processing that machines can perform.
Material group and catalyst inputs
Machines accept material groups and catalysts as inputs, so one recipe can match a family of items.
Per-tick fluid input and output
Fluids move through machines per tick, giving recipes a continuous flow instead of fixed batches.
Searchable configurations
Energy core, energy input hatch and energy output hatch settings are arranged so they are easier to search.
Custom recipe failure operation
Modpack makers can set what a machine does when a recipe fails, and the default is handled through GuGu Utils.
