RailgunReborn-Academycraft

# RailgunReborn – AcademyCraft

**An unofficial port and rewrite of [AcademyCraft](https://github.com/LambdaInnovation/AcademyCraft) for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge).**

Awaken a supernatural ability, train it, and push it to its limits. Inspired by *A Certain Magical Index / A Certain Scientific Railgun*, AcademyCraft lets you become an esper with one of four ability categories, each with its own skill tree, levels and progression.

> All credit for the original design, art and sounds goes to **LambdaInnovation**, the creators of AcademyCraft. This is a fan-made port, rebuilt from scratch for modern Minecraft.

---

## ⚡ Ability categories

- **Electromaster**: Arc Generation, Current Charging, Magnet Movement, Body Intensify, Thunder Bolt, Thunderclap, Mine Detection, Magnet Manipulation and, of course, the **Railgun** (flip a coin and fire).
- **Meltdowner**: Electron Bomb, Scatter Bomb, Light Shield, Rad Intensify, Mine Ray, Ray Barrage, Jet Engine, Electron Missile and the devastating **Meltdowner** beam.
- **Teleporter**: Threatening Teleport, Flesh Ripping, Location / Mark / Shift / Penetrate Teleport, Flashing, Space Fluctuation and Dimension Folding Theorem.
- **Vector Manipulation**: Directed Shock, Ground Shock, Vector Acceleration, Vector Deviation, Directed Blastwave, Storm Wing, Blood Retrograde, Vector Reflection and **Plasma Cannon**.

Each category has 5 levels, CP (calculation power) and overload management, skill experience, presets with key bindings and an in-game skill tree.

## 🔧 Survival progression

- **New ores** (Constraint Metal, Imag Crystal, Imag Silicon, Resonant Crystal) and underground lakes of **Imag Phase Liquid**.
- **Machines**: the **Imag Fusor** (grow higher-purity crystals) and the **Metal Former** (plates, chips, coins, needles and ore doubling).
- **Ability Developers** (portable, normal and advanced) to awaken your category, level up and learn skills.
- **Ability Induction Factors**: rare loot (about as rare as an enchanted golden apple) found in structure chests, including chests from other mods. Use one to choose your category.
- **Category Reactor**: a brand-new 3×3×3 late-game multiblock. Fill it with 30 buckets of phase liquid, insert an Induction Factor and charge it with energy to **switch your ability category**. The liquid glows with the color and effects of the chosen category.
- **Data Terminal**, installed with a craftable Terminal Installer.

## 🔋 Energy system

- Uses standard **Forge Energy (FE)** internally, shown as "IF" in-game, so it works with cables, generators and batteries from other tech mods.
- **Generators**: Solar, Phase (burns phase liquid) and a multiblock **Wind Generator** that produces more the higher you build it.
- **Batteries**: Energy Unit, High Battery and Mega Battery.
- **Wireless energy network**: build a Wireless Matrix, set a network name and password, and connect Wireless Nodes (3 tiers) to your machines and generators. No cables needed.
- Server config to disable energy requirements or tweak generator output.

## 🧩 Compatibility

- **JEI** (optional): shows Imag Fusor and Metal Former recipes, energy costs and info pages.
- Works in **singleplayer and multiplayer**. The mod must be installed on both the server and the client.

## 📋 Requirements

- Minecraft **1.21.1**
- NeoForge **21.1.176** or newer
- No other library mods required.

## 🔒 Privacy

The original mod sent analytics and looked up players' IP addresses. **All of that was removed.** This port makes **no internet connections** of any kind. The "wireless" network exists only inside the game.

## 📜 License

- Licensed under **GPL-3.0**, like the original AcademyCraft.
- As required by the original authors, **selling this mod or its contents in any form is prohibited**. This includes selling abilities, items or ranks that grant abilities on servers.
- Modpacks are allowed.
