AlchyX

A library for data-driven multiblock machines: JSON structure patterns, forming and growing animations, disguised shells, machine animations and cutscenes, with KubeJS, JEI, Jade and Patchouli support.

AlchyX is the library behind AlchyMastery, AlchyRift, AlchyFarm and AlchyForbidden. It does nothing on its own: install it if a mod asks for it.

For mod and pack makers, it provides:

• Multiblock patterns in JSON: structure detection, a forming wave, disguised shell blocks, and a structure builder
• Machine animations from datapacks: particles, sounds, figures and effects, defined per machine
• Corruption visuals: rifts that tear open on machines as they are pushed
• KubeJS support: define machines and patterns from scripts
• Patchouli integration: every pattern becomes a book multiblock with a fitted 3D preview, and book chapters can unlock when another chapter is read
• Upgrades: upgrade kinds with tiers, emblems and corruption rifts on the machine
• Miniatures: living models of a structure or a room, mobs included
• Worker cores and free-form structures: a machine worked by one figure on errands, around ground closed by fences
• Choice screens: a grid of kinds to turn on or off, with search, filters and chances
• Rifted items: a rift level on any item, a recipe ingredient for it, kept through furnaces
• Growing machines: a core that grows its own structure tier by tier, parts flying in and pillars rising from the ground
• Machines keep their state: a broken machine keeps its tier and upgrades on its item
• Cutscenes and trailers: scripted walks, poses, screen fades and camera flights, played from a mod’s files (/trailer)
• Look-at meters: a machine’s tanks and energy shown beside the crosshair
• Server ready: a mod’s settings are shared from the server to its players, so screens and JEI show the server’s numbers
• Particle setting: full, reduced or minimal, followed by every AlchyX effect
• JEI and Jade: script machines get a JEI recipe page, and Jade names every part after its machine

Requirements: NeoForge 26.1.2. Optional: Patchouli, KubeJS, JEI, Jade.
