Resource Collector
by Jenki
Resource Collector, a Forge mod for 1.20.1, adds resource generators that produce shards on a timed cycle, with three tiers that scale the output.
What it does
The mod adds resource generators in three tiers, basic, intermediate and high. The basic generator yields one shard per cycle, the intermediate yields two, and the high tier yields three. Each generator is built from a core, and the core tier sets which tier the generator belongs to.
Shards can be crafted into different materials. The mod includes custom recipes for the simple resource generator, and cores for iron, redstone, nether charged, end charged and nether star are generated as part of the content. Resource Collector is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and is useful for modpack making. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Basic resource generator
The basic generator produces one shard per cycle and serves as the entry tier for the chain.
Intermediate and high tiers
The intermediate generator produces two shards per cycle and the high generator produces three, raising output as cores are upgraded.
Shard crafting
Each shard can be crafted into a different material, so the generated output feeds into other recipes.
Custom simple generator recipes
The simple resource generator has its own custom recipes, which set how it is built and how its cores are obtained.
Core materials
Cores for iron, redstone, nether charged, end charged and nether star generate in the world, and each core matches one generator tier.
