RFTools Base
by McJty
Players who build with McJty's tech mods need RFTools Base, which supplies the shared Dimensional Shard, machine infuser and smart wrench that the other mods in the family depend on.
What it does
RFTools Base is the foundation mod for McJty's tech family. Several other mods in the catalog require it, including RFTools Utility, XNet, RFTools Builder, RFTools Power and Deep Resonance. Dimensional Shards generate as ore, with a small amount in the overworld and more in other dimensions, and the machine infuser and base crafting materials feed recipes across the family.
The mod requires McJtyLib, and The One Probe is optional for extra in-world readouts. Because it runs on client and server, the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.14.3 – 1.21.1 across 16 release versions, and the license is MIT, so the source code is open to read and contribute to.
