ZBGT
by GregMeister
ZBGT, a Forge add-on for GregTech on 1.12.2, adds mega multiblock machines, creative hatches and larger input buses that do not fit the base mod.
What it does
ZBGT brings in several multiblock machines, including the Mega Electric Blast Furnace, Mega LCR, Mega Vacuum Freezer, Mega Oil Cracking Unit and Mega Alloy Blast Smelter, along with the Precise Assembler and the Component Assembly Line. Its author describes the set as content that GregTech itself probably would not include. The YOTTank and YOTHatch extend storage, and an Air Intake Hatch passively collects air from the dimension it is placed in.
Creative blocks round out the set: a Creative Energy Source and a Creative Energy Sink behave like the creative energy hatch, with the same interface, while a Creative Item Bus supplies 16 items to a connected multiblock. A Super Input Bus holds the maximum integer of items per slot, and a Creative Fluid Hatch provides any fluid. A Creative Computation Provider acts as a high-performance computation supply with a very large rate. Some energy container settings need a multiblock reform to take effect, because the controller only reads voltage and amperage changes when notified.
ZBGT is published only for Forge, for Minecraft 1.12.2. Only the server and players who join it need the mod, because both sides must run it. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The latest file is 0.16.2, released on 2025-09-21 on the beta channel.
