The Arcane path of Chemistry
by ZuperZ
Arcane path of Chemistry combines atom-level crafting with magical artifacts, letting players break items down into atoms and recombine them into new materials.
What it does
The mod lets players deconstruct items into their atomic components with dedicated machines, then recombine those elements into new items. Rare atoms can be infused to open recipes that are not reachable through standard crafting, and the results are mysterious items that carry enhanced properties. Players gather and synthesize atoms across a broad set of crafting options, with arcane devices and advanced machines handling the processing.
Block entities are data-driven, and new recipes are added through JSON files, so pack makers can extend the alchemy system without writing code. The mod runs on NeoForge only and is published for four release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.3. Both the server and every player need it installed, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
