ForcePatch

ForcePatch is a lightweight integration mod that extends ForceCraft compatibility with popular tech, farming, and automation modifications. It implements logical cross-mod recipes, tags, data models, and mixing mechanisms, allowing Force content to seamlessly integrate into large modpacks without disrupting ForceCraft's core balance.

What Players Get

• Smooth Progression: ForceCraft items can now be used in other mods' machines and systems (mixers, presses, planting devices, data models, etc.).
• Additional Automation Paths: New processing methods appear (e.g., squeezing Force gems, bat claw drops) that integrate into existing production chains.
• Better Accessibility: Standard tags ensure Force items work in universal recipes, filters, and storage systems.
• Minimal Interference: No radical balance changes — only targeted enhancements for content interoperability.

Key Features

• Force Block storage (forcecraft:force_block), crafted from 9 Force gems with tags for compatibility and JEI visibility.
• Cross-mod recipes where appropriate.

Supported Integrations (Auto-activated when mod is present)

Recipes and Tags (Primary)

Compatibility and Requirements

2. Place forcepatch-<version>.jar in the mods/ folder.
3. Install the mods you want integrated (ForceCraft, Create, Mystical Agriculture, Productive Bees, etc.).

Pull requests for additional integrations, tag improvements, or recipe fixes are welcome. Changes should be focused, data-driven where possible, and guarded by mod presence checks.
