WhimCraft
by xinyihl
WhimCraft is a Forge technology mod for 1.12.2 that extends Modular Machinery with extra parallel controllers, essentia buses and adapters.
What it does
Its extra features are for modpack authors, who use them to build machines and supply essentia recipes. Parallel controllers can be registered for Modular Machinery, but their models and textures need to be handled by hand. Essentia Input and Output Buses make it simpler to feed essentia into recipes, and additional MMCE adapters are included. Some functions ship switched off and need to be enabled by hand in the config file.
WhimCraft also adds smaller conveniences: a beautified multiplayer server list, external login verification, a backported ChunkPurge, and hotkeys that report item IDs in JEI, with K for the item under the cursor and L for the full list. Gugu Utilities is named among the supported Essentia sources, and the mod is for Forge on 1.12.2 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Key features
Essentia buses
Input and Output Buses move essentia in and out of machines, which simplifies essentia-based recipes.
Extra parallel controllers
Additional parallel controllers can be registered for Modular Machinery, with models and textures added manually.
Additional MMCE adapters
More adapters for Modular Machinery Multiblock Extensions widen the set of parts a structure can use.
Item ID hotkeys
Pressing K in JEI copies the item ID under the cursor, and L lists the IDs of all items.
Server list and login checks
A beautified multiplayer server list and external login verification come with the mod.
