MineFactory Reloaded Mod — Reference
Machine Mechanics
Most MFR machines share a common interface and set of behaviors. Understanding these is key to efficient automation.
The GUI Bars
When opening an MFR machine, you will see three distinct bars on the right side: 1. Power Bar (Red Bolt): Indicates the amount of RF stored. Machines will not function without power. 2. Work Bar (Green Arrow): Shows progress toward the current operation. When full, the task is completed. 3. Sleep Bar (Blue Zz): If a machine has power but no valid targets (e.g., no crops to harvest), it enters a "sleep" state to save server resources. This bar counts down until the next check.
Range Upgrades
Many machines (Planter, Harvester, etc.) start with a default 3x3 area. This can be expanded using Range Upgrades placed in the upgrade slot.
| Upgrade Material | Radius Increase | Total Area |
|---|---|---|
| Cobblestone | -1 | 1x1 |
| Lapis | +1 | 5x5 |
| Iron | +2 | 7x7 |
| Tin | +3 | 9x9 |
| Copper | +4 | 11x11 |
| Bronze | +5 | 13x13 |
| Silver | +6 | 15x15 |
| Gold | +7 | 17x17 |
| Quartz | +8 | 19x19 |
| Diamond | +9 | 21x21 |
| Platinum | +10 | 23x23 |
| Emerald | +11 | 25x25 |
Mobs: The Pink Slime
The only mob added by MineFactory Reloaded is the Pink Slime.
Spawning and Behavior
Pink Slimes do not spawn naturally. They are created when a bucket of Pink Slime (Liquid) is placed in the world. After a short time, a tiny Pink Slime will spawn from the liquid.
- Health: Big (16 HP), Small (4 HP).
- Drops: Pink Slimeballs (only from the smallest size).
- Embiggening: Using a Slime Embiggening Syringe on a Pink Slime will increase its size. Using it on a maximum-size slime will cause it to explode into Raw "Meat" Nuggets and several smaller slimes.
Tools and Utility Items
Precision Sledgehammer

Syringes
Used on animals or mobs for various effects: * De-Zombification: Turns Zombie Villagers back into Villagers. * Growth Hormone: Instantly ages baby animals. * Health: Heals the target. * Slime Embiggening: Increases the size of slimes.
