Void-Miners-Reforged

Void-Miners-Reforged is an enhanced version of the original Void Miners mod that expands the basic concept with new features and improvements. The development is inspired by mods like Environmental Tech but maintains the core idea: creating multiblock structures that generate resources when provided with power and clear access to the void or bedrock.

Main Innovations

This version introduces solar panels - each miner tier now has a corresponding solar panel tier for autonomous energy production. The automatic output system allows miners to independently transfer obtained resources, eliminating the need for manual collection. Fine-tuning of balance and parameters has also been implemented for smoother progression and flexible configuration.

Development Tiers

The mod offers 8 progression tiers, available for both miners and solar panels:

• Rubetine: entry level without modifier slots
• Aurantium: 2 modifier slots
• Citrinetine: 4 modifier slots
• Verdium: 6 modifier slots
• Azurine: 8 modifier slots
• Caerium: 10 modifier slots
• Amethystine: 12 modifier slots
• Rosarium: 16 modifier slots

Modifier System

Three types of upgrades are available, with effectiveness increasing along with equipment tier:

• Energy Modifier: reduces miner energy consumption
• Speed Modifier: accelerates mining process but increases energy usage
• Production Modifier: increases number of items obtained per operation with corresponding energy cost growth

Control and Interaction

To display the multiblock structure, use Shift + Right Click on the miner or solar panel block. Regular Right Click will show the list of required construction materials. The mod is fully integrated with JEI to display all generated items.

Parameter Configuration

Configuration is done through standard settings files (void-miners.json5 for newer versions), where you can adjust:

• Mining cycle duration
• Energy consumption per tick
• Modifier values

For Modpack Makers

The source code contains examples for adding custom recipes with NBT data support. Example of an NBT recipe file:

{
"item": "minecraft:iron_axe",
"nbt": "",
"weight": 2.0
}
