EMC Essentials (ReFabricated)

A unified Fabric port of the EMC Essentials Forge Modpack — bringing ProjectE, Project Expansion, Arcane Tablet, and more into a single Fabric mod built on Item Alchemy.

---

Overview

EMC Essentials (ReFabricated) ports the core experience of the EMC Essentials Forge Modpack to Minecraft 1.20.1 Fabric. Instead of needing a dozen separate mods, this single .jar enhances the EMC ecosystem with commands, Power Flowers, an EMC Link, an EMC Interface, a Miniature Sun, a HUD display, configurable values, and auto-registration — wrapping Item Alchemy as the backend EMC engine.

Think of it as the Project Expansion equivalent for Fabric — a companion mod for Item Alchemy (the Fabric equivalent of ProjectE), giving you the machines, tools, and QoL features to inspect, manage, and scale your EMC production without leaving the game.

Features

/emce Command Suite

Seven subcommands for full EMC control, plus /emce bank for balance management:

Command	What it does
/emce help	Shows all available commands
/emce get <item>	Look up the EMC value of any item
/emce set <item> <value>	Set a custom EMC value for an item
/emce remove <item>	Remove a custom EMC override
/emce bank get	Check your EMC balance
/emce bank add <amount>	Add EMC (supports K/M/B/T/Q suffixes)
/emce bank remove <amount>	Remove EMC
/emce bank set <amount>	Set EMC balance to exact value
/emce reload	Reload the config from disk
/emce list	List all custom EMC values
/emce stats	Show overall EMC system statistics

EMC Link

A combined EMC Importer + Exporter with an 18-slot GUI. Bridges your Item Alchemy EMC network with vanilla inventories and Tom's Simple Storage.

• Import (items → EMC): Scans adjacent chests/barrels/Tom's storage every 5 ticks, pulls items with EMC value into its input buffer (slots 0–8), converts them to EMC, and pushes into connected Item Alchemy batteries/cables.
• Export (EMC → items): Place a sample item in slots 9–17 as a persistent filter. Each tick it checks for EMC in adjacent storage, consumes it, generates 1 copy of the item, and pushes it to adjacent inventories.

EMC Interface

A no-GUI mechanical block ported from the Forge emc-interface mod by Ofek2608. Uses the same proven slot architecture:

• Slot 0 (Insertion only): Items with EMC value are converted via EMCManager.setEMCtoPlayer() + syncS2C() — same path as /emce bank add. Items without EMC value are stored temporarily so Tom's routes them to the next priority storage instead of deleting them.
• Slots 1+ (Extraction only): Each unlocked EMC item gets its own slot. Quantities are unlimited (EMC ÷ itemEMC, capped only by Java's int max ~2.1B). When Tom's syncs after extracting, setStack() detects the delta and deducts EMC automatically.
• /team support: If the owner is on a vanilla Minecraft team, EMC and knowledge from all online teammates are merged.
• Priority setup: Place an Inventory Cable Connector next to the EMC Interface and right-click with an empty hand to cycle priority. Set to Highest for auto-selling (items go here first). Set to Lowest for pulling (drains chests before touching EMC).
• Uses the original Forge mod's 16×48 animated texture.

Power Flowers (MK1–MK6)

Single-block compact EMC generators ported from Project Expansion. Each tier generates EMC every tick and pushes it to both the owner's personal EMC balance (via EMCManager.setEMCtoPlayer() + syncS2C()) and adjacent Item Alchemy batteries/cables.

Tier	Generation Rate	Material
MK1	4 EMC/tick	Iron
MK2	12 EMC/tick	Iron
MK3	48 EMC/tick	Iron
MK4	192 EMC/tick	Diamond
MK5	768 EMC/tick	Diamond
MK6	3072 EMC/tick	Netherite

Each flower has a 1 billion EMC internal buffer and captures the placer as owner — EMC goes directly to their bank. Miniature Sun within 5 blocks boosts output 10×.

Arcane Tablet

A portable EMC access device ported from Projex (Project EX). Right-click to view your current EMC balance and known item count. Uses the same EMC API path as the EMC Interface and /emce bank commands. EPIC rarity.

Miniature Sun

An expensive item that multiplies EMC output of nearby collectors and Power Flowers by 10×. Stacks with time acceleration effects.

EMC HUD

Your EMC balance displayed in the top-left corner, positioned below FPS and coordinates so nothing overlaps. Shows your current balance plus a live delta indicator:

• EMC: 1,234,567 (+100 | +100/s) in green when gaining EMC
• EMC: 1,234,567 (-50 | -50/s ) in red when losing EMC

Formats large values: 1,234 / 1.2M / 3.5B / 7.8T.

Custom EMC Config

A plain-text config file at config/emcessentials.properties lets you define or override EMC values for any item in the game:

# <item_id>=<emc_value>
minecraft:diamond=8192
minecraft:netherite_ingot=49152

Changes take effect after running /emce reload (no restart needed).

Requirements

Dependency	Minimum Version
Minecraft	1.20.1
Fabric Loader	≥ 0.18.6
Fabric API	≥ 0.92.5+1.20.1

MCPitanLib	≥ 3.7.0 (suggested)
Architectury	≥ 9.2.0 (suggested)

All of these are already present in the CreateBound Prism instance.

Installation

1. Drop emcessentials-reabricated-1.3.1.jar into your mods/ folder
2. Ensure Item Alchemy (itemalchemy-1.3.1.jar) is also in mods/
3. Launch Minecraft with Fabric Loader 0.18.6+
4. Run /emce help in-game to verify it loaded

Development Notes

Uses Item Alchemy's API (EMCUtil$ITEM, EMCManager) to read, write, and transfer EMC values at runtime. API calls are made via reflection so the mod won't crash if Item Alchemy isn't installed — it simply logs a warning and disables EMC features. EMC modifications use EMCManager.setEMCtoPlayer() + EMCManager.syncS2C() directly, matching the same code path as the built-in /itemalchemy commands.
