Ki Cultivation Machinery

Turn a cultivator’s Ki into crystals, fuel, and automated spiritual industry.

Ki Cultivation Machinery is a NeoForge addon and companion mod for Eternal Cultivation. It provides native machine behavior and compatibility support for cultivation-focused modpacks built with KubeJS and Modular Machinery Reborn.

This is not a replacement for Eternal Cultivation and does not add a separate cultivation system. Instead, it connects a player’s existing Ki progression to machines that can store, transform, and spend cultivation energy.

Ki Crystal Cultivator

Stand on the Cultivator and allow it to draw Ki gradually into a persistent 32,000 Ki buffer. Its dedicated interface lets you:

Select Lesser, Greater, or Supreme Ki Crystals.
Toggle the machine on or off.
Choose an ignored, required, or inverted redstone mode.
Monitor the stored Ki buffer and current production target.

Crystal costs:

Lesser Ki Crystal: 1,000 Ki
Greater Ki Crystal: 4,000 Ki
Supreme Ki Crystal: 16,000 Ki

The machine absorbs Ki smoothly instead of draining the player instantly, and its state is saved with the world.

JEI Integration

Every Ki Crystal tier has a dedicated Ki Crystal Cultivator recipe display in JEI. Hover a crystal and press the recipe key to see its Ki cost and production method.

Spirit Bestiary Support

The addon provides the safe runtime and loot-table handling used by the Spirit Bestiary Engine. In supported modpacks, the machine accepts a reusable spawn egg and produces drops from that creature’s real loot table without consuming the egg.

The compatibility layer supports modded creatures, initializes mob data before rolling loot, prevents empty preview entries from disconnecting players, and protects output when an attached inventory is full.

Designed for Cultivation Modpacks

Ki Cultivation Machinery is intended for progression packs where Ki becomes a real industrial resource. It can support:

Liquid Ki production through a Ki Liquefier.
Spawn-egg-based mob-drop farming.
Breakthrough-pill crafting requirements.
Custom quest and multiblock progression.

The exact multiblock structures and recipes are pack-defined through KubeJS, allowing modpack authors to balance the machinery around their own progression.

For Modpack Authors

The mod is deliberately focused: Eternal Cultivation remains independent, while this addon contains the machinery-specific integration. Modpack authors can provide their own KubeJS blocks, machine structures, recipes, and quests without modifying the core cultivation mod.
