Void Miners

This is an unofficial 1.21.1 port of the original version by MtcLeo05.

This mod, inspired from mods like Environmental Tech, aims to provide a new way to generate resources, that being a multiblock structure that, when provided power and a view on the void (or bedrock) generates resources.

While this mod is (obviously) inspired by Environmental Tech, it is not a 1:1 copy and, more importantly, HAS NO RELATION WHATSOEVER WITH IT, AND ALL ASSETS (INCLUDING CODE) WERE MADE FROM SCRATCH.

🧩 Mod Integrations

This mod features native integration with popular utility mods to enhance compatibility and gameplay experience:

• JEI (Just Enough Items): Displays all items generated by each miner tier, along with their respective drop rates and recipes.
• JADE: Provides in-game HUD tooltips showing real-time information about multiblock miner status, progress, and stored energy/items when looking directly at the blocks.
• KubeJS: Fully supports custom recipe creation, tier modifications, and event handling via scripts. For comprehensive guides and code examples, check the official KubeJS Integration Wiki.
