Embers is best described as a dwarven magic mod. It features a smattering of magical and technical content, from staples such as ore doubling and item transport to alchemy and magical ray guns. All centered around the core mechanic of Ember, a limited form of power that you must extract from the world's core near bedrock.
To get started, you will first need to find an Ancient Golem:
Slay the golem, and use his drops to craft the Ancient Codex. This will guide you through the rest of the mod.

sorry for commenting. i didn't know of the existence of the embers rekindled
What's the difference between this and Embers Rekindled?
I keep seeing links to a 1.7.x version of this game but everytime i hit a dead end. . . is there a 1.7.x version of this mod?

no
So I just managed to get the codex. While it does look cool, it doesn't really give any indication as to how you should progress. It tells you a brief description of lore behind blocks and items, but nothing relating to crafting nor acquisition of said items/blocks. Without which makes it almost useless for the most part. "Learn about what these cool weapons, tools and machinery do. But you have no clue how to make them, so I guess you'll have to stop playing the game and look on youtube to find out."
There are two solutions I could think of, at least for the direction of progress. The most used version of guides seen in other mods such as thaumcraft for example are unlocking based on progression, which is the most streamlined and easier learning curve, but is a bit limiting at times.
Another method that could possibly work is perhaps a tiered system where there's some sort of indicator on the slot thing showing which is achieved first, like roman numerals or perhaps just a number of glowing somethings. Organizing the codex to be neater would help too.
Regardless of which method is used, showing the method of acquisition for each thing listed in the codex is crucial for knowing what to do, otherwise it's effectively an ember dictionary.

Sounds are broken in this mod
In reply to TurtleBoiGamer:
Please make documentation THE absolute priority with taking over development. The existing documentation is absolute GARBAGE. The Codex shows most things but doesn't explain anything, there's no wikis out there that really describe things, and video is not 'documentation' -- and 'most things' is not 'all things'. I'd frankly recommend scrapping the existing codex and starting from scratch.
Also, please lose the bullpoop that is random alchemy recipes. It's absolutely asinine that one has to make a recipe potentially a dozen times, if not more, before knowing a recipe -- and that that recipe is player+world specific -- change player, different recipe, change world, different recipe. It's meaningless tedium that adds nothing but frustration.

i don't have to be the developer of any mod to know that you're being rude in that comment. excessively derogatory, demanding, and opinionated.
if you were the one offering to implement the changes you want? maybe you'd have a leg to stand on. but as it stands you're not, beggars can't be choosers, or at the very least they shouldn't actively diminish and insult what they're already being given for free.
like, i'm being pretty stern and negative right now, i get it -- but honestly, this is just inappropriate and often hurtful behavior that isn't right to give ANY modding team. if you don't like a mod, don't use it -- that's your choice to make and it's not the modders' responsibility to bow down and fix everything to be exactly how you like it.

will the version from the github make it over to Curseforge anytime soon? it's not a major issue or anything, i'm just curious if/when it will.
