PowerTech
by NasumiCraft
PowerTech is a Forge and NeoForge technology mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds blocks, items and mechanics, with a Duplicator that clones stackable items using Duplicate Chips.
What it does
The mod introduces a range of new blocks, items and mechanics meant to simplify and speed up technology gameplay. The central system is the Duplicator, which turns one item and sixteen Duplicate Chips into sixteen copies of that item. Duplicate Chips are described as essential for mass production, and a rare and valuable ore can be found in Lush Caves. An in-game Tutorial Book explains the features and recipes.
PowerTech is a beta release, and the author notes that some bugs still occur and that fixes are being worked on. Duplication is most dependable on stacks of items that can be stacked; swords and other non-stackable items can produce unintended results, including odd outcomes when a full stack of Duplicate Chips is used on them. Shift plus right-clicking with a stack also behaves in unexpected ways. The mod runs on the client and the server together, so both need it. Forge and NeoForge files exist for 1.20.1, released on 2025-05-24, under a custom license that is not open source. Just Enough Items (JEI) is an optional dependency that helps players view available recipes.
