Enchantment Technology
Arcane Extractor
Removes one selected enchantment from an item and transfers it to a book.
The machine supports registered enchantments from Minecraft and other mods, including curses.
Runic Matrix
Replaces random enchanting with direct selection.
Insert a compatible item, choose the enchantment and level, and provide energy, lapis lazuli and player experience. Treasure enchantments are supported.
Item input and output are intentionally manual.
Biological Automation
Biological Capsules
Capture creature data by defeating a compatible creature while carrying an empty capsule in the hotbar or offhand.
Five capsule tiers are available:
- Iron
- Gold
- Diamond
- Netherite
- Echo
Each tier supports creatures within a different health range and provides a different number of simulation uses.
Biological Simulator
Produces resources from a registered creature without requiring a physical mob farm.
Each simulation consumes:
- Energy
- Organic Nutrient
- One capsule use
The simulator supports compatible creatures from other mods, regular loot tables and many special drops generated outside normal loot tables.
A dedicated Looting Upgrade can improve its output.
JEI can automatically show which registered creatures may produce a selected item.
Crop Automation
Electric Cultivator
Harvests and replants crops in a 5×5 area in front of the machine.
Water and Organic Nutrient can be supplied to accelerate plant growth. The Cultivator supports standard crops, vertical crops and plants such as melons and pumpkins that grow beside their stems.
Digital Storage
Digital Storage Terminal
Provides searchable access to every item stored in the connected network.
Items can be:
- Searched by name
- Sorted by name, quantity or mod
- Inserted and extracted through normal inventory interactions
- Browsed through multiple pages
The selected sorting mode is saved for each player, and the terminal requires energy to access or display the network contents.
Storage Drive
Each Storage Drive accepts up to eight Digital Storage Cells.
Available cells:
- 4K Storage Cell
- 16K Storage Cell
- 64K Storage Cell
- 256K Storage Cell
Cells have both item-capacity and item-type limits. Their contents remain stored when removed and reinstalled in the same world.
Additional drives and cells can be connected to expand the network.
Digital Crafting Terminal
Combines digital storage access with a persistent 3×3 crafting grid.
The JEI recipe-transfer button can fill recipes using ingredients from the storage network. Partially available recipes fill the ingredients that exist and display ghost previews for those still missing.
Items remain in the crafting grid when the terminal is closed.
Digital Storage Interface
Connects the digital network to item automation.
Each face can be configured for:
- Import
- Export
- Import and export
- Disabled operation
Export connections support reusable item filters.
Digital Network Cable
Connects Storage Drives, Digital Storage Terminals, Digital Crafting Terminals and Digital Storage Interfaces into one network.
Individual cable connections can be cut or restored using the Quarry Wrench.
