EnderTech Mod Wiki

EnderTech is an Ender-themed technological expansion mod for Minecraft, primarily designed as an addon for Thermal Expansion. It introduces powerful, relatively expensive mechanics and machines that focus on the late-game experience. The mod centers around the use of Redstone Flux (RF) to power advanced Ender-based technologies, including massive multiblock tanks, high-speed charging stations, and block-swapping tools.

Key Features

• Multiblock Ender Tanks: Massive, customizable fluid storage solutions.
• Exchange Orbs: Tools that allow for rapid block replacement in large areas.
• Health & Charge Pads: Stationary blocks that heal players or charge their equipment wirelessly.
• Ender-Themed Materials: New crafting components like the Enderstar.

Exchange Orbs

Exchange Orbs are powerful tools used to swap blocks in the world with blocks from the player's inventory. They are essential for large-scale building and terraforming.

Usage:

1. Set Source: Shift + Right-click a block in the world to set it as the block you wish to place.
2. Exchange: Right-click a target block to replace it and all identical adjacent blocks within the set radius.
3. Adjust Radius: Use the mod's keybind (default: V or Shift+V) to cycle through available radii.

Enderstar

The Enderstar is a high-tier crafting component used in most of the mod's advanced recipes. It is crafted using a Nether Star, Ender Pearls, and Diamonds.

Health Pads

Health Pads provide rapid healing to any entity standing on or near them. They consume RF to restore health.

• Cost: 192,000 RF per half-heart (default).
• Tiers: Redstone, Resonant, and Creative.
• Function: Higher tiers heal at a faster rate.

Charge Pads

Charge Pads wirelessly charge items in a player's inventory or entities within a 2-block radius. They can be placed in any orientation (floor, wall, or ceiling).

• Efficiency: 100% efficiency within 0.5 blocks; efficiency drops to 50% at a 2-block distance.
• Tiers: Redstone and Resonant.

Ender Tank Components

The Ender Tank is a multiblock structure composed of several specific blocks:

• Ender Tank Controller: The heart of the tank; only one is allowed per structure.
• Ender Tank Frame: The structural edges of the tank.
• Ender Tank Glass: Transparent blocks for the tank walls.
• Ender Tank Valve: Used for fluid input and output.
• Ender Tank Energy Input: Required to provide RF to the tank for fluid extraction.

The Ender Tank is a massive, customizable fluid storage structure. It requires RF to operate, specifically for extracting fluids.

Construction Rules

1. Dimensions: Minimum size is 3x3x3; maximum size is 8x8x8.
2. Shape: Must be a rectangular prism.
3. Frame: The edges of the tank must be made of Ender Tank Frames.
4. Walls: The faces can be filled with Ender Tank Glass or additional Frames.
5. Controller: Exactly one Ender Tank Controller must be placed on one of the faces (not on an edge/frame).
6. Valves: Place Ender Tank Valves on the faces to pipe fluids in or out.
7. Power: At least one Energy Input block must be part of the structure to allow fluid extraction.

Statistics

• Capacity: By default, the tank stores 64,000 mB (64 buckets) per internal air block. A max-sized 8x8x8 tank (6x6x6 internal) can store over 13,000 buckets.
• Power Usage: Extraction costs 1 RF per bucket by default.
• Energy Buffer: The tank stores RF internally to maintain operations.

Most recipes in EnderTech require high-tier materials from Thermal Expansion, such as Enderium and Tesseracts.

RF Integration

EnderTech is fully compatible with the Redstone Flux (RF) system. All machines require power to function:

• Exchangers: Consume RF per block swapped. Harder blocks (like Obsidian) cost significantly more energy than soft blocks (like Dirt).
• Pads: Consume a flat rate of RF per operation (healing or charging).
• Tanks: Require RF for the internal pump to push fluids out of the valves.

Dismantling

Using a Crescent Wrench (or any compatible wrench) on EnderTech blocks will safely dismantle them. However, breaking the last block of a functional Ender Tank with a pickaxe will cause the tank to lose all stored fluid contents.

The mod's behavior can be heavily customized via the general.cfg file located in the /config/EnderTech/ directory.

Key Config Options

• I:Tank.BucketsPerInternalBlock: Sets the fluid capacity of Ender Tanks (Default: 64).
• I:Tank.MaxEnergyInputRate: Sets the maximum RF/t the tank can receive (Default: 20,000).
• I:HealthPad.RFPerHalfHeart: Adjusts the energy cost for healing (Default: 192,000).
• B:General.AllowInDevelopmentContent: Enables experimental features that are still being tested. Warning: This may cause world instability.
