Base Mod FAQ

No, BASE Mod is optional and only useful if you're playing a modpack with multiple mods that add the same materials. It's a library mod designed to help mod developers unify resources, not required for vanilla Minecraft.

Different mods in your pack each add their own versions of common materials. BASE Mod solves this by providing a single unified copper ingot (and other materials) that all mods can use together, eliminating duplicates.

Other mods in your modpack handle this automatically—they're configured to recognize BASE Mod's unified materials. You don't need to do anything; just craft with the single ingot/plate/gear type available instead of multiple versions.

Yes, resource pack creators can edit the template textures and reapply different colors to customize how materials look. If you're making a resource pack, you only need to modify the base templates rather than individual item textures.

That mod will still add its own version of materials (like its own copper ingot), which won't unify with BASE Mod's system. The mod will work fine, but you'll have duplicate items unless the modpack author configures it otherwise.

BASE Mod reduces load times and mod file size by using a single template texture with color overlays instead of individual textures for each material. This can help performance, especially in large modpacks.

Yes, you can use MineTweaker to define custom materials, and BASE Mod will auto-generate them in all supported forms (ore, ingot, plate, gear, dust, nugget, storage block).

Most resource packs work fine with BASE Mod since it uses standard Minecraft texturing. If you want to customize BASE Mod's material textures specifically, you'll need to edit the template files in the resource pack.

BASE Mod is available for multiple Minecraft versions including 1.10.2, 1.11.2, 1.12, 1.12.1, and 1.12.2. Check the official wiki for the complete list of supported versions.

No, BASE Mod generates all its resources automatically when you launch the game. Configuration is only needed if you want to create custom materials using MineTweaker.

BASE Mod is a library mod used by mods created by Team Acronym Coders and Brass Goggled Coders. It introduces no new blocks or items and leaves gameplay unchanged.

It acts as a central library for other mods and can generate common resources like ores, nuggets, ingots, storage blocks , gears, dusts, and plates when the game launches. It uses a template texture system where a color is applied to a base texture to reduce mod size and load times.

No, it is a minimal mod that introduces no new blocks or items and leaves gameplay unchanged.

It supports Minecraft versions 1.10.1, 1.10.2, 1.11.2, 1.12, 1.12.1, and 1.12.2 on the Forge loader.

Yes, you have permission to use this mod in any private or publicly distributed modpack.

No, the Material Creation abilities that were once in B.A.S.E are now handled by ContentTweaker, which has all the ZenScript handling that BASE had.

It can generate ores, nuggets, ingots, storage blocks , gears, dusts, and plates.

It uses one template texture per resource and applies a color layer to it, which reduces the load time and the size of the mod.

Yes, because textures are generated from templates, resource pack creators only need to edit the templates to change textures.

No, it is a library mod for Forge. The CurseForge summary describing it as a simple texture pack does not match the mod file and project page.
