Modular Diversity Mod — Guide

Energy & Resource Hatches

These hatches allow Modular Machinery multiblocks to interface with external power systems and magical energies.

Mekanism Laser Acceptor

This block allows a machine to receive energy via Mekanism Lasers. It features a massive internal buffer of 5 GJ. * Type: meklaser * IO-Type: input (Output is not supported) * Syntax Example:

{
 "type": "meklaser",
 "io-type": "input",
 "energy": 20000000
}

Ember Hatch (Embers Rekindled)

Interfaces with the Embers mod. It can consume or produce Ember via Emitters and Receptors. * Type: ember * IO-Type: input or output * Syntax Example:

{
 "type": "ember",
 "io-type": "input",
 "ember": 16.0
}

Mana Hatch (Botania)

Allows machines to use or generate Mana. Input is handled via Mana Bursts (Spreaders), while output functions like a Mana Pool. * Type: "mana" * IO-Type: "input" or "output" * Syntax Example:

{
 "type": "mana",
 "io-type": "input",
 "mana": 500
}

Mechanical Hatch (Better With Mods)

Interfaces with BWM mechanical power. It connects to Axles and Gearboxes. * Type: mechanical * Level: 1 (Wooden), 2+ (Steel/Overpowered) * Syntax Example:

{
 "type": "mechanical",
 "io-type": "input",
 "level": 1
}

Laser Hatch (Buildcraft)

Allows machines to be powered by Buildcraft Lasers, similar to an Assembly Table. * Type: laser * Unit: micro-MJ (1,000,000 micro-MJ = 1 MJ) * Syntax Example:

{
 "type": "laser",
 "io-type": "input",
 "micro-mj": 30000000
}

Environmental Detectors

Detectors act as recipe conditions, ensuring a machine only operates under specific world circumstances.

Biome Detector Example

{
 "type": "biome",
 "io-type": "input",
 "biome": [1, 35]
}

Weather Detector Example

{
 "type": "weather",
 "io-type": "input",
 "weather": 2
}

Specialized Integration Hatches

Modular Diversity includes highly specific hatches for deep mod integration.

Pumpjack Hatch (Immersive Petroleum)

This hatch functions as a fluid input but draws directly from an Immersive Petroleum Reservoir in the current chunk. If no reservoir is present, the hatch remains empty.

Mineral Hatch (Immersive Engineering)

Allows a multiblock to act as an excavator, consuming resources from Immersive Engineering Mineral Deposits located in the chunk.

Aura Hatch (Nature's Aura)

Allows machines to drain or replenish the environmental Aura from the Nature's Aura mod.

Starlight Hatch (Astral Sorcery)

Interfaces with Astral Sorcery to require specific levels of Starlight for a recipe to process.
