Modern Balanced Alchemy

Transmute items into EMC, generate passive income, fire seeking arrows, and share pools with allies.

EMC

EMC or Energy-Matter Covariance is the mod’s currency. Every craftable item has an EMC value. Burn items in a Transmutation Table to gain EMC (95% of their value — 5% burn tax). Once burned, an item is “learned” and can be transmuted back later.

Mechanics

• Transmutation Table: Burn items for EMC. Transmute learned items back (click for 1, shift-click for 64).
• Transmutation Tablet: Portable transmutation table.
• Energy Collector: Passively generates 1 EMC/second per level. Stack up to 100x. Needs clear sky access. Owner gets EMC while online; offline production credited on login (capped 24h).
• Rich tax: passive income is reduced based on your balance — keep 100% below 100k, 90% at 100k, 85% at 500k, 70% at 1M, 50% at 20M, 10% at 100M+.
• Shadow Caster Bow: Fires seeking arrows that curve toward nearby mobs within 16 blocks. Costs 14 EMC per shot. Hold right-click to autofire every 0.8s. Supports Power and Flame enchantments.
• Alchemical Bags: 72-slot portable storage in 16 colors. Dye to recolor.
