Periodic
Periodic brings the elements of the periodic table into Minecraft, with blocks, ores, tools and armour built from them, for Fabric.
What it does
Periodic adds elements from the periodic table to the game, among them uranium, aluminium, potassium, steel and silver. Each element is represented by ores, ingots and crafted blocks, so a world gains new materials to smelt and craft during play. The content covers both the building side and the equipment side.
Uranium tools and aluminium armour sit among the equipment, and reinforced variants of several materials are included. Potassium lanterns round out the decorative blocks. The mod is published for Fabric alone, and its environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and public links exist for the source, the issue tracker and a wiki.
Key features
Element materials
Ores and ingots for uranium, aluminium, potassium, steel and silver are added, for crafting and smelting.
Uranium tools
Tools made from uranium join the equipment, giving a use for the element beyond decoration.
Aluminium armour
A full set of armour is crafted from aluminium, with reinforced variants of the material available.
Potassium lanterns
Lanterns built from potassium serve as lighting blocks that match the element theme.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
This mod also publishes snapshot builds. Snapshots are not shown in the matrix.
Use cases
Chemistry-themed survival
A survival world can use the new elements as a progression path, from ore to tools and armour.
Building with element blocks
Players who build themed bases or labs can use the element blocks and lanterns as decoration.
Who it’s for: Players who want chemistry-themed materials in a Fabric world, and server owners who want the same element content on a multiplayer server.
How it compares
Natural Uranium is also a Fabric mod with a uranium theme, but it is published for 1.21.10 and is released under the MIT License, so it does not cover the older range. Classics: Uranium is another Fabric uranium mod, with files for 1.20 – 1.20.1 under the MIT License. Sulfur and Potassium supports both Fabric and Forge across 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so it is the option for players on Forge.
