Overview#
AbyssalCraft Integration is a dedicated module designed to provide seamless compatibility between the core AbyssalCraft mod and various other popular Minecraft modifications. Originally a part of the main mod, it was split into a standalone module to allow for more frequent updates and deeper cross-mod systems.
This mod does not add new dimensions or mobs of its own; instead, it enhances how AbyssalCraft's existing content (such as Abyssalnite, Coralium, and Dreadium) interacts with the mechanics of other mods. It is a required addition for any modpack featuring AbyssalCraft alongside technical or magical mods like Thaumcraft, Tinkers' Construct, or ProjectE.
Tinkers' Construct Integration#
The integration with Tinkers' Construct adds AbyssalCraft's unique metals as fully functional tool materials. It introduces molten versions of these metals for use in the Smeltery and adds specific traits that interact with AbyssalCraft's plague and shadow mechanics.
Tool Materials
| Material | Durability | Mining Speed | Attack | Handle Modifier | Trait |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abyssalnite | 400 | 6.0 | 4.0 | 0.9x | Abyssal: Deals extra damage to AbyssalCraft mobs. |
| Refined Coralium | 800 | 8.0 | 6.0 | 1.1x | Coralium: Inflicts Coralium Plague on hit. |
| Dreadium | 1200 | 10.0 | 8.0 | 1.3x | Dread: Inflicts Dread Plague on hit. |
| Ethaxium | 2000 | 12.0 | 10.0 | 1.5x | Ethaxium: High-tier material with superior stats. |
Modifiers
- Light Pierce: Added using Shadow Gems. This modifier allows tools to bypass certain defenses of shadow-based entities found in the Dark Realm.
Thaumcraft Integration#
This module adds deep integration for Thaumcraft 6 (and 4 in older versions), including new aspects and magical components.
New Aspects
- Coralos: Derived from Coralium-infused items. Represents the spreading nature of the plague.
- Dreadi: Derived from Dreadlands materials. Represents the mutated and horrific nature of the Abyss.
Magical Items
- Wand Cores & Caps: Adds Abyssalnite and Coralium variants for wands and staves.
- Upgrade Kits: Specialized kits that allow players to upgrade Thaumcraft materials using AbyssalCraft's transmutation and crystallization processes.
- Aspect Assignment: Nearly every block and item in AbyssalCraft is assigned relevant Thaumcraft aspects (e.g., Vitium for plague items, Alienis for eldritch materials).
ProjectE & Equivalent Exchange#
For players using ProjectE or Equivalent Exchange 3, this module assigns EMC values to all AbyssalCraft items and blocks. This allows for the transmutation of eldritch materials once they have been discovered.
- Abyssalnite Ingot: ~2,048 EMC
- Coralium Gem: ~4,096 EMC
- Dreadium Ingot: ~8,192 EMC
- Ethaxium Ingot: ~16,384 EMC
Note: Exact values may vary based on modpack configuration.
Bewitchment & Vampirism#
Bewitchment
AbyssalCraft items can be used to empower Bewitchment altars. The following items act as Altar Boosters:
- Statues of the Great Old Ones
- Dreadlands Infused Powerstones
- Ghoul Heads
- Crystal Clusters
- Necronomicons
Vampirism
- Sun Protection: Vampires are protected from sun damage while inside the Darklands biome, making it a safe haven for undead players during the day.
Morph & Other Integrations#
Morph
- Visuals: Correctly displays hands and models when morphed into AbyssalCraft mobs (e.g., Depths Ghouls, Abyssal Zombies).
- Abilities: Assigns specific abilities to morphed forms, such as plague immunity or enhanced strength in dark biomes.
Game Stages & CraftTweaker
- Ritual Staging: Allows modpack creators to lock specific AbyssalCraft rituals behind Game Stages.
- Recipe Customization: Provides ZenScript support to add or remove recipes for the Crystallizer, Transmutator, and Materializer.
Better Questing
- Adds built-in tasks for AbyssalCraft machines and rituals, allowing for easier questline creation in progression-based modpacks.
Items and Blocks#
The integration module adds several utility items to facilitate cross-mod play.
Dusts
Added to the OreDictionary for compatibility with industrial mods (Thermal Expansion, Immersive Engineering, etc.):
- Abyssalnite Dust
- Refined Coralium Dust
- Dreadium Dust
Molten Metals
Fluids used in the Tinkers' Construct Smeltery:
- Molten Abyssalnite
- Molten Refined Coralium
- Molten Dreadium
- Molten Ethaxium
Configuration and Commands#
Configuration
The mod includes a comprehensive config file (abyssalcraft_integration.cfg) where players can toggle individual mod modules. This is useful if you want to disable specific features like Thaumcraft Warp or ProjectE EMC values.
Commands
/acritual: Prints the registry names of all required sacrifices and outputs for the current ritual. This is primarily used by modpack developers to debug CraftTweaker scripts.
