Apresta
Prepare your next survival project with real materials, shared plans and practical equipment kits. Apresta Base is useful on its own.
What the base includes
- Daily preparation: reusable supply lists, saved equipment kits, restocking and depositing surplus into linked physical inventories.
- Survival projects: track required, available and reserved materials; preview transfers and confirm them against the actual stock.
- Shared work: invite collaborators and control viewing, contributions, withdrawals and management. Sharing a vanilla inventory is an explicit action.
- Practical equipment: preparation table, preparation drawer, project board, a belt carrying nine real tools and a field guide with 27 topics.
- Chest organization: use linked inventories for preparation and sorting. The optional Logistics expansion adds the larger tube network and searchable storage central.
How the expansions work
The base and all 16 expansions are separate mods with individual JAR files and separate CurseForge projects. There are two files per project, one for NeoForge and one for Fabric. Choose the file for your loader.
Every expansion requires Apresta Base. The other expansions are optional: play with the base alone, install the base plus one expansion, or combine several. You do not need Decoration, Workshop or Logistics to use the others. Optional connections add useful production chains without turning those modules into mandatory dependencies.
| Optional expansion | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Apresta Construction | Parametric and captured blueprints, physical builders and automatic construction stages. |
| Apresta Workshop | Automatic crafting, crushing, cutting, pressing, conveyors, sorting and demand-based stock. |
| Apresta Exploration | Saved routes, destination compass, readable signs and an expedition supply post. |
| Apresta Caverns | Cave route preparation, local hazards, lava contact sensor and a fueled tunneling drill. |
| Apresta Logistics | Item tubes, searchable storage central, chest filters, priorities, stock targets and sensors. |
| Apresta Agriculture | Soil preparation, irrigation, composting, harvesting/replanting, milling and drying crops. |
| Apresta Maintenance | Structural reference and repair, wear gauge and replacement of worn tools with physical spares. |
| Apresta Ranching | Feeding for breeding, native shearing, milking with persistent rest and collection of existing eggs. |
| Apresta Forestry | Tree-plot planning, planting, nursery propagation, drop collection and bounded natural-tree felling. |
| Apresta Apiary | Honey bottling, honeycomb extraction, fueled smoke and molded-wax processing. |
| Apresta Lighting | Torch/lantern planning and installation, plus four detailed luminaires with manual, night and redstone modes. |
| Apresta Enchanting | Bookshelf planning, searchable enchanted-book archive and a native-anvil workdesk. |
| Apresta Railway | Straight track installation and filtered loading/unloading of cargo minecarts. |
| Apresta Smelting | Furnace batch planning and controllers for real furnaces, blast furnaces and smokers. |
| Apresta Portals | Physical Nether-frame building, flint-and-steel ignition, portal detection and destination plaques. |
| Apresta Decoration | 58 furniture/accessory pieces, usable seats, storage, displays, a working kitchen and equipment wardrobes. |
Examples of useful combinations
- Agriculture + Ranching: mill wheat and dry vegetables, craft forage, then supply the feeder with real animal food.
- Workshop + Logistics: use the demand bench with the searchable storage central to draw physical ingredients and maintain target stock across a filtered tube network.
- Forestry + Workshop + Logistics: collect wood, transfer it through supported storage ports and supply a physical processing line.
- Maintenance + Enchanting: collect worn tools, repair them through a real anvil/workdesk, then return matching tools as spares.
- Exploration + Portals + Lighting: share manually saved destinations between signs and plaques, restock expedition supplies and use native redstone signals to control lights.
Getting started
- Craft the project folio with one book and one copper ingot.
- Press P to open Daily preparation. Save a supply list or create your first project.
- Sneak-use the folio to link a compatible container to the active project. Review and confirm material transfers.
- Craft the field guide with one book and one paper. The guide explains machines, ports, inputs and optional modules.
- Carry the tool belt and press B to access its nine tools.
Automation and real costs
Machines use physical ingredients, fuel, tools and output space. Many outdoor or inventory-transfer operations require the owner nearby and loaded chunks. Each machine reports its own work or waiting state; redstone pauses supported work. Check its guide topic for inventory faces and operating conditions.
Installation
- Minecraft Java 26.3 and Java 25.
- Choose NeoForge 26.3.0.57-beta or Fabric Loader 0.19.5. Fabric also requires Fabric API, tested with 0.162.0+26.3 and 0.165.2+26.3.
- Download the correct loader file from each project. Keep one JAR per selected module and use the same selected modules and file versions on client and server. NeoForge and Fabric belong in separate installations.
Tested release
The release passed 647 NeoForge and 654 Fabric automated gameplay tests, base and individual-expansion configurations, native save/reopen checks and dedicated TCP multiplayer with two real clients. Each loader also passed a controlled, automated 30-minute session and independent reopening. These are automated tests with prepared fixtures; they do not certify every third-party modpack or long-term survival balance.
