EnderTech Mod — Guide
Mechanics
RF Integration
EnderTech is fully compatible with the Redstone Flux (RF) system. All machines require power to function: * Exchangers: Consume RF per block swapped. Harder blocks (like Obsidian) cost significantly more energy than soft blocks (like Dirt). * Pads: Consume a flat rate of RF per operation (healing or charging). * Tanks: Require RF for the internal pump to push fluids out of the valves.
Dismantling
Using a Crescent Wrench (or any compatible wrench) on EnderTech blocks will safely dismantle them. However, breaking the last block of a functional Ender Tank with a pickaxe will cause the tank to lose all stored fluid contents.
Items
Exchange Orbs
Exchange Orbs are powerful tools used to swap blocks in the world with blocks from the player's inventory. They are essential for large-scale building and terraforming.
| Tier | RF Storage | Max Radius | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redstone | 1,000,000 RF | 5x5 | Entry-level exchanger. |
| Resonant | 10,000,000 RF | 15x15 | High-capacity exchanger for massive projects. |
| Creative | Infinite | Configurable | Available only in Creative mode. |
Usage:
1. Set Source: Shift + Right-click a block in the world to set it as the block you wish to place.
2. Exchange: Right-click a target block to replace it and all identical adjacent blocks within the set radius.
3. Adjust Radius: Use the mod's keybind (default: V or Shift+V) to cycle through available radii.
Enderstar
The Enderstar is a high-tier crafting component used in most of the mod's advanced recipes. It is crafted using a Nether Star, Ender Pearls, and Diamonds.
Blocks
Health Pads
Health Pads provide rapid healing to any entity standing on or near them. They consume RF to restore health.
- Cost: 192,000 RF per half-heart (default).
- Tiers: Redstone, Resonant, and Creative.
- Function: Higher tiers heal at a faster rate.
Charge Pads
Charge Pads wirelessly charge items in a player's inventory or entities within a 2-block radius. They can be placed in any orientation (floor, wall, or ceiling).
- Efficiency: 100% efficiency within 0.5 blocks; efficiency drops to 50% at a 2-block distance.
- Tiers: Redstone and Resonant.
Ender Tank Components
The Ender Tank is a multiblock structure composed of several specific blocks:
- Ender Tank Controller: The heart of the tank; only one is allowed per structure.
- Ender Tank Frame: The structural edges of the tank.
- Ender Tank Glass: Transparent blocks for the tank walls.
- Ender Tank Valve: Used for fluid input and output.
- Ender Tank Energy Input: Required to provide RF to the tank for fluid extraction.
Multiblocks: Ender Tank
The Ender Tank is a massive, customizable fluid storage structure. It requires RF to operate, specifically for extracting fluids.
Construction Rules
- Dimensions: Minimum size is 3x3x3; maximum size is 8x8x8.
- Shape: Must be a rectangular prism.
- Frame: The edges of the tank must be made of Ender Tank Frames.
- Walls: The faces can be filled with Ender Tank Glass or additional Frames.
- Controller: Exactly one Ender Tank Controller must be placed on one of the faces (not on an edge/frame).
- Valves: Place Ender Tank Valves on the faces to pipe fluids in or out.
- Power: At least one Energy Input block must be part of the structure to allow fluid extraction.
Statistics
- Capacity: By default, the tank stores 64,000 mB (64 buckets) per internal air block. A max-sized 8x8x8 tank (6x6x6 internal) can store over 13,000 buckets.
- Power Usage: Extraction costs 1 RF per bucket by default.
- Energy Buffer: The tank stores RF internally to maintain operations.
Recipes
Most recipes in EnderTech require high-tier materials from Thermal Expansion, such as Enderium and Tesseracts.
