Machinery and Technology
The core of the data pack revolves around its industrial machines. Most machines require Energy Units (EU) to function, which are generated by power sources and distributed via batteries.
The Custom Crafter
To begin with the mod, players must create the Custom Crafter. This is a specialized block (typically a Dropper) that allows for the assembly of advanced components that a standard crafting table cannot handle.
Industrial Machines
| Machine | Function | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Quarry | Automatically mines a 16x16 area down to bedrock. | Requires a Drill Head and Energy. |
| Grinder | Processes ores into dusts, effectively doubling the yield of raw materials. | Requires Energy. |
| Electric Furnace | Smelts items at a significantly faster rate than a standard furnace. | Requires Energy. |
| Auto-Crafter | Automatically crafts items based on a set recipe when provided with materials. | Requires a Redstone signal. |
| Solar Panel | Generates Energy Units (EU) during the daytime. | Must have clear sky access. |
| Wind Turbine | Generates EU based on the height at which it is placed. | Higher placement yields more power. |
| Battery | Stores excess energy generated by power sources for later use. | Can be upgraded for higher capacity. |
Mobs and Creatures
New entities inhabit the world and the new dimensions, ranging from passive wildlife to dangerous bosses.
| Creature | Location | Health | Drops | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Void Dweller | The Void | 20 HP | Void Essence | Neutral; teleports when attacked. |
| Deep Sea Shark | Deep Ocean | 40 HP | Shark Tooth, Raw Fish | Aggressive; fast swimmer. |
| Anglerfish | Deep Ocean | 15 HP | Glowstone Dust | Hostile; attracts players with its light. |
| Void Guardian (Boss) | Void Fortress | 300 HP | Void Heart, Nether Star | Boss; fires explosive void charges. |
| Giant Squid | Deep Ocean | 60 HP | Ink Sacs, Tentacles | Neutral; will drag players down if provoked. |
Items and Materials
To progress through the machinery tiers, players must craft and process new materials.
- Steel Ingot: Created by smelting Iron Dust (from the Grinder) with Coal in a Blast Furnace. Used for most machine frames.
- Void Crystal: Mined in The Void. Used for high-tier energy storage and the Void Core.
- Diving Suit: A specialized armor set made from Copper and Glass. The full set provides Water Breathing and Pressure Resistance.
- Drill Head: An attachment for the Quarry. Can be made of Iron, Diamond, or Netherite, determining the mining speed and durability.
- Energy Cable: Used to connect power generators (Solar Panels) to consumers (Grinders) or storage (Batteries).
