Description
EssentialCraft 4 Reborn
A port of EssentialCraft 4 Unofficial (Minecraft 1.12.2) to NeoForge 1.21.1 - a magic-technology mod built around MRU, a single magical energy that every machine draws on its own: no wires, only Bound Gems that link devices to their sources.
What's inside
- MRU system: generators with a purity balance (frozen / chaos), Bound Gems with range and cross-dimension linking, the MRUCU enrichment chamber, MRU Coil, Reactor, Charging Chamber.
- Machines: Magician Table, Radiating Chamber, Magmatic Smeltery, Mithriline Furnace, Magical Quarry, Repairer, Enchanter, Teleporter, Weather Controller, Monster Harvester, Inventory Manager (MIM) and more.
- Generators: Heat Generator, Natural Furnace, Moon Well, Ender Generator, Solar Prism, Cold Distillator, Ultra variants.
- Hoanna: a separate dimension with its own sky, biomes, random world events, radiation and ruined structures to explore.
- Combat and gear: MRU weapons (pistol, rifle, sniper, gatling), maces and swords, Wind, Void, Magic and Computer Guy armor, shields, amulets and charms (Curios), a Demon you can trade with, a Hologram boss.
- Decoration: fancy tiled blocks, Mimic blocks, crystal lamps, fortified glass.
- Book of Knowledge: a full in-game guide (English and Russian) with recipes and structure diagrams.
- JEI support with categories for the machines; Jade tooltips.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge 21.1.x
- Curios API (required)
- JEI and Jade are optional
Notes
- The mod must be installed on both client and server.
- This port tries to follow EC4 closely. A few EC4 features were intentionally left out (for example item-crafting automation blocks and animal separators); see the changelog on the page.
- Tested mostly in singleplayer so far. Multiplayer reports are welcome.
How this differs from the original
- Fully rewritten code for Minecraft 1.21.1 and NeoForge (the originals targeted 1.7.10 and 1.12.2).
- Recipes, loot and tags moved to the 1.21.1 data-driven system; amulets and charms work through the Curios API.
- Updated textures and fixed 3D models in a modern style (the new textures are still being tested).
- A new in-game Book of Knowledge in Russian and English, JEI categories, Jade tooltips.
- Some of the original content was intentionally removed or not ported (see the changelog).
