How do I install Chemica?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on Modrinth — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Chemica work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Chemica

by cosmads · on Modrinth

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.

Mod loader

Mod loader NeoForge1 build
Mod loader Forge1 build

Minecraft version

Minecraft 1.21.1–1.21.11Newest

Minecraft 1.20.1Newest

⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.11 · NeoForge ⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge

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.

Installation Requirements

Chemica runs on NeoForge and requires you install Forge for 1.20.1 or NeoForge for 1.21.1 before adding Chemica to your mods folder.
Additionally, you will need to install Create and The Factory Must Grow for Chemica to work.

JEI and Jade are also recommended.

Production and use of multiple types of acid
Carbon Fiber processing tree
Many new ores, metals, fluids & fuels
Chemical production from various materials

... and much more planned for the future!

Development

This project is still early in development and content is subject to change in future releases. If you have any ideas or suggestions, or would like to report a bug you can do so here, in the Chemica discord. Once built up, the project will be open source and will (hopefully) have a full wiki.
