RedGen
by Manikas
RedGen is a Forge technology mod in which a ChatGPT-powered generator proposes redstone contraptions from a player's written prompt.
What it does
Players scan existing redstone contraptions with the redgen.scan command, and the scans are saved to a folder named Redgen Data. The redgen.generate command then takes a prompt and tries to build a new contraption based on the stored scans. A LlamaIndex index over those scans gives ChatGPT material to draw from when it writes the design. Using the mod requires Python and the LlamaIndex library, which are installed separately before the mod can run its generation step. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source and issue tracker are public. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 1.2.0 as the latest file from 2024-06-02.
Key features
Prompt-based contraption generation
A player describes the contraption wanted, and the mod attempts to produce a matching redstone design from it.
Scan and reuse
Existing contraptions are scanned with redgen.scan and kept in Redgen Data, where redgen.generate can draw on them later.
LlamaIndex index
Scanned contraptions are indexed with LlamaIndex, so ChatGPT receives relevant examples when it generates a design.

How it compares
Void Generator is also Forge only, covering 1.20.1 – 1.20.2, and is closed source under All rights reserved. KJ's Inventory Generators is open source under the MIT License and runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, which makes it a different option for the same Forge version.
