Patchwork

Patchwork lets a factory network include machines that are virtualized rather than physically placed. A virtualized machine can be routed, configured and even interacted with through its GUI from inside the Patchwork editor, where the network is laid out as data-driven nodes. Connections can run through physically placed SF Interfaces and SF Cables, or the network can be built entirely in the editor with nothing placed in the world.

Getting started requires a separate mod that provides a power source, since Patchwork does not supply one. An SF Controller accepts power from that network, and an SF Drive stores storage modules. Virtual Storage Modules hold configurations and come in three storage tiers, with abilities tied to each tier. Any number of SF Interfaces can be added to a network regardless of storage, though SF Networks cannot expose their inventories directly to the blocks in the world, so item storage must be brought along, either virtualized, uploaded through the editor, or attached with an SF Interface.

Patchwork is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 26.1.2, and runs on client and server. Both the server and every player need it. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source, though the source code and issue tracker are public.
