Materials

EE does not come with any pre-configured materials. Therefore the creation of any materials will need to be done entirely by the modpack developer.

To create a new material:

  • Locate the emendatusenigmatica\material config folder inside the root config folder.

  • Create a *.json file inside this folder for each material you wish to add to the game.

The file you have just created represents a Material Data Object. Below you will find a more detailed breakdown of a Material Data Object showing what is required for each material and giving a brief explanation of each module and data field. All Data Generation will be done by the mod the next time you run your game. An example of a complete material file can be found here.

Note: The mod is capable of using the material color data in this file to create tint-based textures for your materials, however, should you prefer a more artistic option you can provide your own textures through a custom Resource Pack. More information on how to set up your own EE Resource Pack and a set of available textures and texture templates are available here. If no texture is provided via a resource pack the mod will automatically generate textures the next time the game is run.

Material JSON file content:

Material Core module:

REQUIRED FIELD
"id": string // example: "id": "iridium"

Used for all registry naming conventions, note: this must be a unique identifier for each material.

REQUIRED FIELD
"source": string // example: "source": "modded"

Identifies whether the material added is vanilla, or modded. This field affects recipes, and other data generation.

REQUIRED FIELD

Material Compat module:

This section is used to determine whether this specific material should/shouldn't have default modded compat recipes.

Some recipes require additional information (i.e. secondary output, chance of output ..etc.) which can be specified in a custom JSON file for each material. Information on how to set up these files can be found in the Compat section.

By default, all compat recipes generation is set to true; to disable the generation of a specific mod you should simply provide the id and the set the boolean value to false.

Note: If a mod you want EE to compat with is not included in the list below, you can either request it on Github, or create your own recipe through other means like KubeJS for example.

Below is a list of all supported mods, which will be updated whenever a new mod compat is added;

  • Mekanism:
