About
Ever wanted to exchange / swap between blocks rather than manually breaking and placing blocks? Well, now you have a solution!
Exchangers is a tech-themed gadget mod inspired by the Block Exchangers from EnderTech (EnderTech is a Thermal Expansion-based tech mod for 1.7.10 and it has been discontinued, this mod is not using any source codes from EnderTech, everything has been rewritten from the ground up with additional features that are not present in EnderTech's version of Block Exchangers).
This mod offers many different block Exchangers, from vanilla-based (uses durability), to supporting the 4 major tech mods (Ender IO (and Ender IO Endergy), Thermal Expansion, Mekanism and Immersive Engineering)! Support for other mods will be added as per request.
As for balancing purpose to provide a linear progression, all of the Exchangers are tier-based, you have to upgrade from the previous tier to a higher tier (recipes configurable in config) in order to obtain a better Exchanger!
This mod is currently available for 1.10 - 1.12, 1.16, 1.18 - 1.20!
This mod is only available for Forge, other mod loaders like Fabric are not supported and will likely never be supported, mainly due to Forge being the dominant modding API for Minecraft, and it is extremely time consuming to maintain multiple different mod loader versions of a single mod. I have a full time job as a computer engineer and I do not have the time for this.
Note: From version 2.1 to 2.9 of Exchangers for 1.12, Redstone Flux is required if you want to use any Energy-based Exchangers
Starting from version 2.10 of Exchangers for 1.12, we've fully migrated to use Forge Energy, thus the Redstone Flux mod is no longer needed
Starting from version 2.9 of Exchangers for 1.12, GunpowderLib is a required dependency for this mod.

- In-game GUI for exchangers, added as of version 2.10 for 1.12.2, binded to "comma" by default, allows exchangers to be configured on the fly without using multiple keybinds
- Easy to increase / decrease exchange range (Pressing the Range Switch key increases range and holding sneak + pressing Range Switch key decreases range)
- Force Drop Items mode: Forces items to drop on the floor even if there's inventory space (Can be toggled via keybind or via GUI)

- Config option for Silk Touch mode, enabled by default
- Enchantments support, if Silk Touch mode is disabled, players may enchant the Exchangers with Silk Touch to achieve Silk Touching on Exchangers or Fortune to get additional drops. There's also support for Holding enchant (increases Energy capacity) and Unbreaking enchant (reduces chance of consuming Energy per block) for Energy-based Exchangers
