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 mod was made for the Create Back on Track modpack, however, you are free to use it in any other project. If you want to know the Kubejs events for each machine in the mod, download the modpack and feel free to collect any Gearbox code from there.

If you are a mod developer, and want to make an addon for this mod, just let me know first, I have no problem with that (for now)
