MolecularCraft
by CatCore
MolecularCraft is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.16.4 that brings chemistry-style machines, where players extract molecules and atoms from items and combine them into new items.
What it does
Machines in the mod break items down into their molecules and atoms, and those parts can be combined through a formula to create new items. The author describes the mod as a newer take on the Minechem style of gameplay, rebuilt for the Fabric Loader.
The mod is in an alpha stage, so some features are still missing or being fixed. The machines do not consume energy yet, and a formula cannot differ depending on NBT data. Builds exist only for Minecraft 1.16.4, with version 0.0.1 as the latest Fabric file, released under the MIT License and open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
Key features
Molecule extraction
Machines pull molecules and atoms out of existing items, giving players raw material for chemical work.
Item formulas
New items are created from a formula that combines the extracted atoms and molecules into a result.
Energy-free machines
The machines currently run without consuming energy, so no power network is needed to operate them.
Alpha-stage content
Several features are still being implemented or fixed, so the set of machines and recipes may change in later builds.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
