VoidraTech

# Voidra Tech

Build a Void Drill, fire a laser into the void and pull ores and rare crystals out of nothing. Focus it with coloured lenses, tune it with modifiers, and rebuild it tier by tier until it drills an ore every second.

Built for modern NeoForge with no library dependencies.

## Features

### The Void Drill

* A multiblock machine in 6 tiers, from Umbrite to Voidrium: each one bigger, faster and hungrier for power.
* The controller sits on top; the beam leaves the Lens Mount at the bottom and needs a clear path down to bedrock or the void.
* Drops go into a chest (or any inventory) touching the controller. No inventory, no drilling.
* Powered by Forge Energy (FE), into any side of the controller.
* Right-click the controller with an empty hand to see its status, lens, modifiers and power use.

| Tier | Crystal | Structure | Modifier slots | Time per ore | Power |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Umbrite | 7x7, 4 layers | 2 | 20 s | 200 FE/t |
| 2 | Nebulite | 7x7, 5 layers | 4 | 10 s | 800 FE/t |
| 3 | Obscurium | 9x9, 6 layers | 8 | 5 s | 2,500 FE/t |
| 4 | Penumbrite | 11x11, 7 layers | 12 | 2.5 s | 8,000 FE/t |
| 5 | Eclipsium | 13x13, 8 layers | 16 | 1.5 s | 25,000 FE/t |
| 6 | Voidrium | 15x15, 9 layers | 20 | 1 s | 80,000 FE/t |

### What it drills

* All vanilla ores, plus modded ores through `c:ores/*` tags (tin, silver, uranium and many more, whenever a mod adds them).
* Drills in the Nether find Nether ores: quartz, Nether gold and ancient debris (and cobalt, with a mod that adds it). Every other dimension drills like the Overworld.
* Every tier also drills the crystal you need to build the next tier.

### Lenses

* A lens is required, right above the Lens Mount.
* `Clear Lens`: the beam goes through with no focus.
* Coloured lenses (Clear Lens + dye): the ores of that colour come out 8 times as often. Red for redstone, blue for lapis, and so on.
* `Crystal Lens`: focuses every tier crystal at once.

### Modifiers

Every slot in the drill's floor takes one modifier, and they all compete for the same slots:

* `Null Modifier`: just fills the slot.
* `Speed Modifier`: +10% speed each, and each ore costs 10% more energy. A tier 6 floor full of them drills 3x as fast for 9x the power.
* `Energy Modifier`: +10% efficiency each, with no change in speed. A tier 6 floor full of them uses a third of the power.
* `Focus Modifier`: +10% to the coloured lens's bonus each, for 5% more energy. A tier 6 floor full of them takes the lens from x8 to x22.

### Progression

* The `Umbrite Crystal` is crafted from amethyst shards, quartz and an ender pearl. Every other crystal only comes out of a Void Drill.
* Tier 1 parts are made from vanilla items and Umbrite. Every later tier upgrades the parts of the tier before with its own crystal, so your drill grows with you.
* The `Assembly Wand` builds the whole structure from the blocks in your inventory, and never breaks anything in the way.

### JEI

With JEI installed (optional), every drill tier has its own tab: every drop, its chance with and without the lens that focuses it, the average time to get one, and the dimension. Look up a lens to see what it focuses.

## Multiplayer

Voidra Tech adds blocks and items, so it is needed on both the server and the client.

## Requirements

* Minecraft 26.3
* NeoForge 26.3.0.95 or newer
* JEI is optional, no other dependencies

## Modpacks

You are free to include Voidra Tech in your modpacks on CurseForge. No need to ask for permission, but a link back to this page is always appreciated!

Every drop is a datapack file in `data/<namespace>/voidratech/void_drops/`, with an `item` or a `tag`, a `weight`, and optionally `min_tier`, `lens` and `dimensions`, so you can change what the drills find, how often, and from which tier. Empty tags are skipped, so modded ores only show up when a mod adds them.
