Important

Starting with version 1.2.x, the item generation system was significantly overhauled, which may cause issues when updating from older versions. As a result, this project will no longer receive updates. A new project page has been created to replace it.

Material Generators

Material Generators is a simple automation mod that adds a customizable item generator block.

Once placed, the generator auto matically produces a chosen material at fixed intervals.

You can configure which items can be generated via the config/materialgenerators/generate_items.json file.

Starting with version 1.1.4, customizing the generated items through the config is no longer supported. Instead, you can add new items by creating Material Generator recipes using KubeJS or similar tools.

Each generator can be upgraded to:

• Increase the output amount.
• Reduce the cooldown time.

Perfect for automation setups, resource farms, or late-game material processing.

Starting with version 1.1.4, you can change the item generated by a Material Generator even after it has been placed.

To do so, hold nothing in your main hand and Shift + right-click the Material Generator to retrieve the item currently inside. Then, hold the item you want to generate in your main hand and right-click the Material Generator to set the new item.

Features

• Automatically generates items over time.
• Simple upgrade mechanics for speed and efficiency.

Note

The Generator Block can reach potentially game-breaking performance when enhanced with upgrade cards.

While the generator block itself is relatively easy to craft, creating upgrade cards requires either a large amount of resources or a significant investment of time.
