by tracystacktrace

nfc-compat-addon is a compatibility addon for the New Frontier Craft modpack, adding stairs, slabs, a palm sapling and armor tooltips that tie NFC content to other mods.

What it does

The addon adds NFC-style stairs and slabs in bamboo, thatch, palm, chunk and birch and spruce variants, so builders can use matching blocks alongside New Frontier Craft's own pieces. A palm sapling can be planted on farmland and placed in the tree farm multiblock, which gives the palm tree a way into automated growth setups.

The mod also adds a tier tooltip to the Scale armor set, showing which tier each piece belongs to when hovering over it in the inventory. Its compatibility content includes a Split Woods integration. Players need New Frontier Craft and StationAPI installed before the addon will load, and Aether on Station API, OldAndOrnate StationAPI and Tropicraft [StationAPI] are optional companions.

The addon is built for Babric and only targets b1.7.3, with snapshot builds published alongside the release files. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and public links exist for the source repository and the issue tracker.

Key features

  1. NFC-style stairs and slabs

    Stairs and slabs in bamboo, thatch, palm, chunk, birch and spruce match the New Frontier Craft block style.

  2. Palm sapling planting

    The palm sapling can be placed on farmland, so it grows from a planted spot rather than only from natural generation.

  3. Tree farm compatibility

    The palm sapling works with the tree farm multiblock, letting it run through an automated growth setup.

  4. Scale armor tier tooltip

    The Scale armor set shows its tier in a tooltip, so the level of each piece is visible without a guide.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.

Questions

Does nfc-compat-addon need New Frontier Craft?

Yes. New Frontier Craft is a required dependency, and StationAPI is required as well. Both must be installed next to the addon.

Does the server need this mod?

Yes. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Which game version does the addon support?

Only b1.7.3. Snapshot builds are also published, so the file list should be checked for the snapshot in use.

Are Aether and Tropicraft required?

No. Aether on Station API, OldAndOrnate StationAPI, Split Woods and Tropicraft [StationAPI] are optional, and the addon loads without them.
