What it does

Foundation is the base layer of the Nucore series, a set of mods centered on industrial and nuclear processing. Its content covers the basics that many mods in the series follow, including automation and the industry machinery that connects them. The package is modest in scope, but it supplies the groundwork the rest of the series depends on.

The mod is published for Forge 1.20 only, with its latest file dated 2023-06-20. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Its source code is open source under the MIT License, and a wiki is available from the author's public links.

Several ores used across the series are defined here, and a few systems and libraries help make other mods work together. Players who want the full industrial chain will find Foundation installed as the starting point for the other Nucore content.

Key features

  1. Shared ore definitions

    Many of the ores used across the Nucore series are defined in this mod, so other mods in the series can reference them.

  2. Industrial base systems

    Some systems used by the series are supplied here, covering the basic processing that the nuclear and industrial machines build on.

  3. Helper libraries

    Libraries in the package help other mods be built, sparing their authors from writing the same code each time.

  4. Automation basics

    Core automation and industry elements form the starting layer that other Nucore mods extend with more advanced machinery.
