Beep’s Mean Crystalline Resource Machine (BMCRM)

_Beep’s Mean Crystalline Resource Machine (BMCRM) is a mod built around resonating crystals. Form blank crystals, infuse them with a resource, then let a Resonator put them to work._

You can be generating resources right after your first mining trip. Most resource-gen mods start “too late” for my taste (sorry Mystical Agriculture ily), so BMCRM keeps the entry tier cheap and simple.

You’ll need just these three machines:

• Crystal Former – form blank crystals from glass, amethyst, prismarine, echo shards or shulker shells!
• Crystal Infuser – infuse a material\* into a blank crystal to make a dedicated resource crystal!
• Resonator – put your crystals to work and reap their resource!

_\* material detection is tag-based; not every mod tags things properly, so exceptions might exist._

Modulators

Modulators let you augment nearby crystals. Each one behaves a little differently, so experiment to find the layout that suits you best!

• Silk Touch – generates ore blocks instead of the normal drops. Affects a 3×3 area.
• Fortune – grants 1 level of Fortune (up to a max of 5) to crystals in a + shape (5×5).
• Auto-Smelt – automatically smelts the items generated. Affects any crystal that sits between it and the Resonator.

Dependencies

BMCRM does not depend on any mods directly, but optionally integrates with the following:

• JEI – Recipes, Machines & Crystals
• JADE – Shows crystal information
• Create’s Ponder – All technical blocks have Ponders
• AlmostUnified – Respects any altered outputs
