Slime Tech

Slime Tech is a slime-powered technology and automation mod that turns ordinary slime into a full industrial system for Minecraft. Build machines, move fluids and items, generate power, craft gel-based materials, and create a factory built around rubbery, glowing, slime-tech engineering.

The mod adds new slime-based resources such as Dried Slime, Slime Waste, Waste Pulp, Gel Ingots, Gel Plates, Slimy Sand, Gel Glass, and dangerous liquid materials like Condensed Slime and Radioactive Slime. These materials are used to craft machines, conduits, storage blocks, armor, tools, and advanced power systems.

At the center of the mod are slime-powered machines and automation blocks. The Generator, Solar Panel, Hydro Wheel, and Reactor Core provide different ways to create energy, from basic fuel power to flowing-water generation and high-output radioactive slime fuel. Energy Cells store power, while Gel Wires transfer FE between generators, batteries, and machines.

Slime Tech also includes a growing machine system with blocks like the Grinder, Bouncer Grinder, Mixer, Casting Mold, Fluid Tank, Pump, Item Tubes, Sticky Tubes, and Fluid Pipes. These allow players to crush materials, mix items with fluids, cast gel components, store liquids, pump fluids from the world, route items, and build automated processing lines. Pipes and wires are designed to work cleanly in-world, including waterlogging support so they can exist inside flowing water without breaking.

The mod expands fluid gameplay with Condensed Slime, a hot green lava-like fluid, and Radioactive Slime, a powerful reactor fuel made through advanced mixing recipes. Fluid tanks support bucket filling and emptying, while pumps and pipes allow fluids to be moved into machines and storage systems.

Slime Tech also adds useful gear like the Wrench and Gel Hook. The Wrench is used to configure machines, pipes, tubes, and filters, especially the Sticky Tube, which can use whitelist and blacklist filtering to control what items it pulls from inventories. The Gel Hook gives players a slime-tech mobility tool with a chain/tether-style hook system for fast movement.

Mod integrations

Slime Tech is being built with several important integrations and compatibility systems:

JEI integration
Custom Slime Tech recipes are set up for JEI so players can view machine recipes, slime processing, gel crafting, mixing recipes, casting recipes, furnace recipes, and other custom progression directly in the recipe viewer.

Jade integration
Jade support is planned/set up so players can inspect Slime Tech blocks in-world and see useful information such as stored fluids, FE power, machine status, tank contents, and other block data.

Common tag compatibility
Slime Tech uses shared tags where appropriate so its materials work with other mods. For example, Gel Glass is added to glass-compatible tags so recipes from other mods that accept normal glass can also accept Gel Glass.

Classic Pipes compatibility
Compatibility work was added around item routing so other pipe mods, especially Classic Pipes, do not incorrectly insert items into Slime Tech conduits like Gel Wires or non-inventory blocks. Only real accessible inventories should accept inserted items.

FTB Industrial Contraptions-style compatibility goals
The mod’s FE power, machines, fluid handling, and industrial automation systems are being shaped to work cleanly beside larger tech mods, including FTBIC-style power and processing setups.

Vanilla system integration
Slime Tech also ties into vanilla Minecraft systems through furnace recipes, bucket handling, water flow, fluid behavior, redstone-style placement expectations, glass tags, inventory insertion/extraction, and world fluid interactions.

Overall, Slime Tech is designed to feel like a complete slime-based tech mod: part factory automation, part fluid engineering, part power generation, and part goofy Minecraft slime science.
