⚡ IC2 Reborn

IC2 Reborn is a modern Fabric reborn of IC2 Classic.

The goal is to bring back the classic industrial tech feeling in a clean, modern reboot for newer Minecraft versions. The current alpha provides a playable progression path, but it is still an early test release and not a complete IC2 replacement yet.

📊 Current IC2 Classic parity: approximately 35%

⚠️ Alpha Notice

This is an Early Alpha.

Expect missing systems, simplified behavior, balance changes, and bugs while development continues. Please make backups before testing it in worlds you care about.

📦 Requirements

Minecraft 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, or 26.2
