ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

Robotics lets players assemble robots from parts and then program them for tasks. Each robot can gain perks and attributes that depend on the types of materials used to build it, an approach inspired by Tinker's Construct. Modules can be installed to add abilities such as energy shields, teleportation or self-destruction. Perks and modules can be customized through datapacks, and the author documents the format on the wiki.

The combinations of parts and materials are numerous, with at least 386201104 possible builds. Robots can be set to defend in combat, guard underground bunkers, transport items between dimensions or go mining. Robotics runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Geckolib is required, and CC: Tweaked, Just Enough Items (JEI) and Patchouli are optional. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1, with 1.0.3 as the latest, released 2024-09-22 on the beta channel. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
