Neo Industrial
An unofficial, from-scratch remake of IndustrialCraft 2 Experimental for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge).
Neo Industrial brings back the classic industrial experience: electric networks that can blow up your machines, multi-step ore processing, steam and nuclear power, and UU-Matter replication. Recipes, values and tiers follow IC2 Experimental (the 1.12 version), rebuilt for modern Minecraft with all-new code and original textures. On top of that, it adds a few balance changes of its own so that tech still matters in 1.21, where Fortune, villagers and Mending make everything easy.
๐ Wiki (English and Spanish, with every block, item and recipe): Neo Industrial wiki (AWS)
๐ง Early release. Neo Industrial is under active development and hasn't been widely tested in real worlds yet. Expect bugs, and balance values may change between versions. Back up your worlds before adding it or updating it. If something breaks, please report it in the comments with your Minecraft version, mod version and the crash log (
logs/latest.logor the crash report).
โก Energy
- EU power travels through cables in packets and loses a little per block. Five voltage tiers: LV (32), MV (128), HV (512), EV (2048) and IV (8192).
- Too much voltage makes machines explode and cables burn. Plan your grid with transformers or transformer upgrades.
- Cables: tin, copper, gold, HV iron and glass fibre, with insulation layers.
- Storage: BatBox, CESU, MFE and MFSU (up to 40,000,000 EU), and chargepads that charge your gear while you stand on them.
- Batteries: RE battery, energy crystal and lapotron crystal, plus BatPacks and the LapPack you wear.
๐ฅ Generators
- Generator, geothermal generator, solar panel, semifluid generator and RTG.
- Kinetic power: wind generators with animated rotors (wind grows with height and storms), water generators, manual and electric kinetic generators.
- Heat: solid, fluid, electric and radioisotope heat generators, and the Stirling generator.
- Steam: a boiler with adjustable pressure, superheated steam above 221 bar, kinetic steam generators, condensers and solar distillers. Ignore the heat and the boiler explodes.
- Biogas: plants โ plantballs โ bio chaff โ biomass โ fermenter โ biogas, which also accepts liquid fuels from other mods.
โ๏ธ Ore processing
- Macerator โ ore washing plant โ thermal centrifuge โ furnace: 2 crushed ores per ore, plus byproducts at every step (tiny piles of other metals, sulfur and silver).
- Metal former (rolling, cutting and extruding), compressor, extractor and induction furnace.
- Blast furnace and steel, heated with hU and fed with compressed air.
- Recycler and scrap boxes, and the coal โ diamond chain.
โข๏ธ Nuclear
- Nuclear reactor with IC2's pulse and heat simulation: uranium and MOX fuel rods, heat vents, heat exchangers, coolant cells, condensators, plating and neutron reflectors.
- Fluid reactor: a 5ร5ร5 pressure vessel that heats coolant instead of making EU, paired with the liquid heat exchanger.
- Radiation: uranium poisons you unless you wear the full hazmat suit. Overheated reactors set fires, melt blocks and explode.
๐งช UU-Matter
- Mass fabricator, scanner, pattern storage and replicator: scan an item once, then copy it with energy.
- UU values are calculated from a datapack (base values for world resources, propagated through recipes), so servers can tune them.
- Teleporter with frequency transmitter.
๐ ๏ธ Tools and armor
- Drills (mining, diamond and iridium, which comes with Fortune III or Silk Touch built in), chainsaw, electric wrench, treetap and hoe.
- Mining laser with 8 modes, and OD/OV scanners.
- NanoSuit and QuantumSuit (flight, speed, super jump, auto-feeding...), electric jetpack, night vision goggles and the nano saber.
- Electric gear doesn't wear out: it runs on charge, and crafting keeps the charge of the batteries you use.
- Electric armor, drills and the nano saber can't be enchanted: they have their own powers.
โ๏ธ Automation and building
- Upgrades: overclocker, transformer, energy storage, ejector, pulling, fluid ejector, fluid pulling and redstone inverter.
- Sorting machine, batch crafter (crafts up to 16 at once and outputs a comparator signal), industrial workbench (keeps its grid and links to nearby machines), miners, advanced miner and pump.
- Construction foam, scaffolds, reinforced stone, glass and doors, the painter and luminators.
๐งญ Balance for 1.21 (Neo Industrial's own additions)
These changes are not in IC2. They exist so the mod keeps its purpose in modern Minecraft:
- Classic ores: iron, gold, copper, tin, lead and uranium ores drop the whole block, as in 1.12, and Fortune doesn't affect them. Multiply them with IC2 processing.
- The Infuser (new machine): it gives a mining tool the Extraction enchantment (15 levels, 3 lapis lazuli and 5000 EU). Classic ores then drop like vanilla and Fortune works again. This is the first link between magic and technology.
- Ancient debris goes through the IC2 chain for double netherite scrap, with gold as a byproduct.
- Iridium coins: hostile mobs killed by players sometimes drop them. Expert and master villagers ask for coins on top of emeralds, and Mending only comes from master librarians.
- Iridium is rare: no ore in the world, no villager sells it, and chests only give shards.
- Player trading: personal safe, Trade-O-Mat (a vending machine) and Energy-O-Mat (a toll cable for power).
All of these can be tuned or turned off in config/neoindustrial-server.toml.
๐ Compatibility
- JEI (optional): shows every machine recipe, with info pages for special items.
- Uses common
c:tags for ores, ingots, dusts and fluids, so ores and fuels from other mods work with scanners, machines and generators. - Required on both client and server. On dedicated servers, set
allow-flight=truefor jetpacks and the QuantumSuit.
๐ฎ Keybinds
- M: change mode (mining laser, jetpack, iridium drill).
- N: toggle night vision.
Both can be changed in Options โ Controls โ Neo Industrial.
