Fabricator

Fabricator is a multiblock machine addon for Modern Industrialization for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. It turns cobblestone into a configurable set of materials and blocks by consuming MI energy, giving you a compact way to automate renewable resource production inside an MI-based factory.

The mod is designed to fit naturally into the Modern Industrialization ecosystem. It uses MI-style machine parts, supports MI upgrades, accepts energy through a dedicated energy input hatch, and can be fully automated with item transport.

How It Works

The Fabricator consumes cobblestone as its base input and uses stored EU to fabricate configured items or blocks. By default, the machine is limited to the recipe list defined in the mod config, so it is easy to control balance and progression for a modpack or private server.

The controller does not accept energy directly. Power must be supplied through the Fabricator Energy Input block, which feeds the internal energy buffer of the multiblock. Items are inserted through the Fabricator Input Hatch, and finished products are stored in the Fabricator Output Hatch.

The output hatch can automatically push items into an adjacent inventory, and both input and output hatches support external automation.

Multiblock Structure

The Fabricator is built as a 3x3x3 hollow multiblock.

Requirements:

1 Fabricator Controller
1 Fabricator Energy Input
1 Fabricator Input Hatch
1 Fabricator Output Hatch
The remaining outer blocks filled with Fabricator Technical Casing
The center of the structure must remain empty

The special blocks do not have to be placed in fixed positions. Only the controller is fixed, while the energy input, input hatch, output hatch, and casing blocks can be arranged freely within the multiblock shell.

Upgrades

The controller supports Modern Industrialization machine upgrades and the Overdrive Module.

Upgrades increase the maximum EU per tick the Fabricator can use for a recipe, allowing it to complete operations faster. The Overdrive Module provides an additional speed boost on top of normal upgrades.

Configuration

Fabricator recipes are configurable through the server config file.

This allows modpack authors and server owners to:

remove unwanted outputs
add custom allowed outputs
rebalance EU costs
control progression more tightly

By default, the Fabricator is not intended to craft every block in the game. Instead, it works from a controlled recipe list that can be adjusted to fit the pack.

Automation

The Fabricator is built for automation.

Insert cobblestone into the Input Hatch with hoppers or item pipes
Supply EU through the Energy Input
Extract finished products from the Output Hatch
Use adjacent inventories for automatic export

This makes the machine easy to integrate into larger MI production lines.

In-Game Guide

The mod includes a built-in manual that explains:

what each block does
how to build the multiblock
crafting recipes
machine behavior and automation options

Compatibility

Minecraft 1.21.1
