Heat And Climate Mod — Reference

Ores & Metallurgy

Ores in HaC generate in massive Mineral Veins rather than scattered clusters. These veins are biome-specific and can contain hundreds of blocks of ore.

Metal Tiers

Refining metals requires reaching specific Temperature tiers using machines or natural heat sources.

To refine, players must first grind ores into Metal Dusts using a Stone Mill, craft them into Dust Blocks, and place them in the required heat tier.

Machines & Technology

HaC features a progression of machines used to automate processing and control the climate.

• Stone Mill: Used to grind ores into dust and wheat into flour. Powered by hand or mechanical torque.
• Combustion Chamber: A mid-tier heat source that consumes fuel to generate KILN or SMELTING temperatures in a 5x5x5 area.
• Pot & Oven: Used for advanced cooking recipes that provide high-saturation meals.
• Torque System (v3): Uses Water Wheels and Windmills to power machines via shafts and gears.
• Electrical System (v4): Modernized power system for high-tier industrial machines in the 1.19.2 version.

Items & Equipment

Climate Checker

A handheld device that displays the current Temperature, Humidity, and Airflow on the HUD. Essential for finding the right spot for climate smelting.

Clothing & Armor

Standard metallic armor provides poor protection against extreme temperatures. HaC adds specialized clothing: * Linen/Cotton Clothes: Provide moderate heat resistance. * Wool/Fur Clothes: Provide high cold resistance. * Leather Armor: A balanced vanilla option that HaC buffs with decent thermal insulation.

Compressed Containers

To help with inventory management, HaC allows players to compress items into decorative blocks, such as Log Crates, Seed Bags, and Metal Racks. These can be placed as blocks and broken to retrieve the items.
