Simple Machinery
by Redfire75369
Simple Machinery is a Forge technology mod that adds simple machines such as a fluid centrifuge, and modpack authors can configure its recipes to fit their progression.
What it does
The machines in Simple Machinery use one item, one fluid, or one item plus one fluid as inputs, and they draw Forge Energy to run. Recipes are defined by the pack maker, so each machine can be tuned to where it sits in a progression. The fluid centrifuge is one of the machines that takes a liquid input and separates it into outputs.
Most of the machines added here do not exist in other mods, and the mod is aimed at modpack creators who want autoclaves, turntables and similar devices of their own design. Simple Machinery runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.12.2 and 1.16.5, and the latest build is 0.3.0 for 1.16.5 from the beta channel. The mod is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so its source code is open.
Key features
Fluid centrifuge
A centrifuge machine that processes a liquid input, adding a fluid-handling step to the machine set.
Combined item and fluid recipes
Machines can take one item and one fluid together, letting recipes combine solid and liquid inputs.
Forge Energy machines
Each machine runs on Forge Energy, so it can be powered by any energy source that feeds the same network.
Configurable recipes
Recipes can be added and changed to match the progression a modpack needs, with no code required.
