Modular Systems Mod — Reference
Multiblock Construction (Cuboid)
The fundamental mechanic of the mod is the Cuboid structure. To create a functional machine, you must build a hollow rectangular prism that meets specific criteria:
- Minimum Size: 3x3x3 blocks.
- Maximum Size: 16x16x16 blocks (default, configurable).
- Structure: The top and bottom layers must be solid. The middle layers must form a hollow ring (the interior must be empty air).
- Core Placement: The System Core (e.g., Furnace Core) must be placed in the center of one of the exterior faces of the middle layers.
- Validation: Once the structure is complete, right-clicking the Core block will assemble the multiblock. If successful, the blocks will often change texture or the Core will activate its GUI.
Blocks and Items
The mod adds several specialized blocks used to build and automate the cuboid structures.
| Block | Description | Crafting Key Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| Modular Furnace Core | Brain of the furnace system. | Furnace, Iron Ingots |
| Modular Ore Processing Core | Brain of the ore doubling system. | Piston, Flint |
| Modular Storage Core | Brain of the storage system. | Chest, Wood Planks |
| Modular Generator Core | Brain of the power generation system. | Piston, Iron Block, Iron Ingots |
| I/O Port | Allows for automated input and output of items. | Hoppers, Pistons, Dispenser |
| Redstone Port | Allows redstone control (input/output) of the system. | Redstone, Iron Ingot, Stone |
| Expansion Blocks | Specialized blocks that boost specific stats (Speed, Efficiency). | Varies (Gold, Diamond, Quartz) |
| Solid Fuel Bank | Allows the system to consume solid fuels like Coal. | Chest, Coal, Iron |
| Liquid Fuel Bank | Allows the system to consume liquid fuels like Lava. | Glass, Buckets, Iron |
