What it does

New ores can be found in the mod's caves and used to craft tools, machines and armor. Machines are part of the technology focus, and the mod draws on an industrialization-style progression of sticks, stones and electricity. An achievement chain runs through the mod and acts as a guide to what to do next.

Three new structures are generated through the world, and they allude to the ancient race at the center of the story. The mod's main goal is to introduce that storyline, which the author plans to expand gradually in later updates. Both Forge and NeoForge builds are published, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 and are in the beta channel. The license is All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source, although public links to the source code, issue tracker and wiki exist.

How it compares

Full comparison

Extended Industrialization is a NeoForge-only, open source mod under the MIT License, for 1.20.4 – 1.21.1, that also adds machines and ores. Infinity Gauntlet Mod covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, is not open source and is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Both are client and server mods, so each needs to be installed on the server and by every player, just like The Divine Engine.
