PolyFactory

by Patbox

With PolyFactory, a server gains a set of machines, conveyors and tools for building automated item and fluid production lines.

What it does

PolyFactory adds a factory-building layer to Minecraft: grinders, mechanical presses and other machines process items into different, often more useful, results. Items move along conveyor lines and are sorted by item splitters and funnels, while an industrial smeltery smelts ores and copper pipes carry fluids. Power comes from windmills, steam engines, diesel engines and a hand crank, and players who prefer a lighter route can rely on the hand crank alone.

The mod suits tech-focused survival worlds and multiplayer servers that want a progression of machinery. Portable drills, dynamite, deep storage containers, a workbench blueprint for crafting single items and chain lifts for climbing mountains cover the surrounding needs. Polydex, the required guide, and an advancement-based guidebook walk new players through how to start.

Installation needs Polymer and Polydex. Booklet is optional and is also bundled inside the mod. PolyFactory is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric and Quilt across 19 release versions 1.20.2 – 26.3, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Processing machines

    Grinders and mechanical presses turn input items into alternative products, extending what ores and materials can become.

  2. Conveyor logistics

    Conveyors carry items in lines, with item splitters and funnels directing them to the right machine or container.

  3. Fluid handling

    Copper pipes transport fluids between the industrial smeltery and other machines, and a pressure fluid gun shoots fluids out.

  4. Power generation

    Windmills, steam engines, diesel engines and a hand crank supply power to machines of different scale.

  5. Storage and tools

    Deep storage containers hold items out of the way, while a portable drill, dynamite and a chain lift assist with mining and travel.

  6. Guidebook help

    An advancement-based guidebook and the Polydex recipe book explain machines, recipes and the first steps of play.
