syndred
by Nekoniyah
Syndred is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.8 that blends magical technology with automation, with decorative ores and mobs added alongside.
What it does
Syndred brings magic and technology together in one mod. Its author describes it as a work in progress, with about 2 percent of the planned automation side in place so far, and the current build already includes decorative ores. Wireless machines powered by spirit energy are part of the intended design, alongside a mix of fantasy and automation themes.
The mod also adds mobs described as a moth-like creature and a sheep or cow variant, and the author says more lore-driven content will appear over time. Future updates are planned to expand automation toward systems similar to Mekanism and Create. Syndred is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It requires Just Enough Items (JEI) and is released under the MIT License as open source, with source code and an issue tracker available.
