Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This requires the Cyclops Core library!

This mod improves mod interactions, which are possible because of Forge's new capability system.
This does not provide any actual new content, it only improves existing interactions.
The goal of this mod is to provide standard capabilities that are useful for different mods, without those mods having to depend on each other.

Initially, this mod was part of Integrated Dynamics, to improve the 'readability' for various mods. This has been separated into this new mod because other mods might also benefit from these capabilities without having to depend on Integrated Dynamics.

This mod provides the following capabilities to the following mods (annotated with Minecraft version applicability):

Worker
Indicates if a machine can work, and has work.

Temperature
Used for things that can have a certain temperature.

Recipe Handler
Exposes the recipes of machines.

Slotless Item Handler
A variant of the regular item handler that is slot-agnostic.

Wrench
For items that allow wrenching.

Item Handler
Making more blocks, items and entities expose their item inventories.

Capability Delegation

Energy, Item and Fluid handlers from item entities and items inside item frames are delegated to the entity itself.
The Ingredients Components API, an abstraction layer for working with items, fluids and energy in a generic way.
Every aspect of this mod can be configured to disable interactions.

 

This mod is responsible for registering the capabilities from the Common Capabilities API, it also provides default implementations of these capabilities for various mods.

 

This mod collects anonymized startup data, this can be disabled in the config file and adheres to Minecraft's snooper settings.
