BASE Mod — Reference
Items
BASE adds several "Parts" for every material enabled in its system. These items are designed to cover all standard processing steps found in tech and magic mods.
| Item Type | Description | OreDict Prefix |
|---|---|---|
| Ingot | The standard refined form of a metal. | ingot[Material] |
| Dust | A ground-down version of the material, often used in advanced processing. | dust[Material] |
| Nugget | A small fragment (1/9th of an ingot). | nugget[Material] |
| Plate | A flat sheet of metal, typically used for machinery casing. | plate[Material] |
| Gear | A mechanical component used in various machines. | gear[Material] |
| Crushed Ore | A preliminary processing stage for raw ores. | crushed[Material] |
| Shard / Clump | Intermediate items used in chemical or specialized refining. | shard[Material] |
Blocks
In addition to items, BASE provides the necessary blocks for world generation and storage.
Ores
If enabled, BASE can generate ores in the world. These blocks are designed to be compatible with standard pickaxes and drop the appropriate raw material or the ore block itself if harvested with Silk Touch.
Storage Blocks
Storage blocks are the 3x3 compressed versions of ingots or gems. They are primarily used for compact storage and as decorative building blocks.
| Block Type | Description | OreDict Prefix |
|---|---|---|
| Ore | The natural state of the material found in the world. | ore[Material] |
| Storage Block | A solid block made of 9 ingots or gems. | block[Material] |
Mechanics & Recipes
BASE handles the logic for standard material conversions automatically. This ensures that even if you only have BASE installed, the materials are fully functional.
Standard Recipes
- Compression: 9x Ingots → 1x Storage Block.
- Decompression: 1x Storage Block → 9x Ingots.
- Nugget Crafting: 1x Ingot → 9x Nuggets.
- Nugget Assembly: 9x Nuggets → 1x Ingot.
- Smelting: Smelting an Ore block in a furnace will yield 1x Ingot.
Unification Logic
BASE acts as a "bridge." If a player picks up a "Copper Ingot" from Mod A, and a recipe from Mod B requires a "Copper Ingot," BASE ensures the Ore Dictionary tags match so the recipe works seamlessly. In advanced configurations, it can even force all dropped ores to convert into a single, specific mod's version of that item upon entering the player's inventory.
