Rando's Tech
by rando3214
Rando's Tech is a Forge tech mod for 1.20.1 that adds blocks, items and recipes in a simple style close to vanilla.
What it does
Energy blocks store Forge Energy and can be linked together with cables, so power from a generator can reach machines placed along the same network. Pump fluids also generate power, and a redstone-like block passes Forge Energy from a generator to a machine such as a drill. No fuel is required for the generating blocks.
A block breaks the blocks placed under it, slowly working through a chunk, and a chestpiece lets the wearer fly. The mod is not a clone of any single tech line; its recipes are kept simple and the crafting paths are meant to stay readable. Some of its blocks are listed in the Gallery section of the mod page, and the recipes can be confusing for new players, so an item-lookup mod such as REI is suggested to browse them.
Rando's Tech is distributed for Forge 1.20.1 only. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The mod is not open source and is released with All rights reserved, but its author has published a zip of the project so players can edit the code with MCreator 2023.1 and add new content. Several other mods are said to pair well with it, and the tech it adds can be used as a stand-alone set.

What the author says
Rando's Tech is a simple tech mod that is similar to Minecraft vanilla, which adds new blocks, items and crafting recipes. These are some of the blocks in this mod that you can find in the Gallery section. Recipes for items can be confusing, so I recommend using mods like REI. This mod is not good for a stand-alone…
