Ender IO Addons Mod Wiki

Ender IO Addons is a specialized expansion for the Ender IO mod in Minecraft. It introduces a suite of machines designed to handle tasks that fall outside the scope of the core mod, focusing on advanced automation, fluid logistics, and decorative utility. While the mod maintains the aesthetic of Ender IO, it often features more experimental or niche mechanics, such as the Cobblestone Framework for compact resource generation and the Impulse Hopper for complex item set management.

Core Requirements

To function correctly, Ender IO Addons requires the following base components:

• Ender IO
• EnderCore
• Minecraft Forge
• WaterHook Library (Required specifically for the Drain to remove infinite water sources from the world).

The heart of the mod consists of several high-tier machines, each serving a distinct purpose in a technical base.

The Cobblestone Framework is an all-in-one resource generator. It uses internal stores of Lava and Water to generate Cobblestone passively.

• Functionality: It features three internal upgrade slots. These slots allow the machine to process the generated cobblestone into further materials such as Sand, Gravel, or Stone Bricks, effectively acting as a compact "Cobbleworks" factory in a single block.
• Power: Requires RF (Redstone Flux) to operate the processing stages.

The Impulse Hopper is a precision item transport block. Unlike a standard hopper that moves items one by one, the Impulse Hopper moves items in "sets."

• Mechanics: Users can configure a specific recipe or set of items (e.g., 1 Diamond, 4 Gold Ingots, and 1 Redstone). The hopper will only transfer items to the output inventory if all items in the configured set are present in the input buffer.
• Use Case: This is ideal for automating machines that require specific ratios of ingredients, such as Botania's Petal Apothecary or complex Alloy Smelter recipes, preventing the machine from clogging with a single ingredient.

The Drain acts as a localized pump for fluid management.

• The Drain: Collects any fluid that flows into it. It must be placed at the lowest point of a fluid pool to be effective. It is highly efficient for clearing out large bodies of liquid or automating fluid collection from world-gen sources.
• Food Drain: A specialized upgrade of the standard Drain. It is "food-grade coated," allowing it to safely process and collect Milk from the world (e.g., from cows placed above it).

The Niard (the reverse of "Drain") is a fluid placement machine.

• Functionality: When supplied with RF and a liquid, the Niard places the liquid into the world. It is designed to fill holes or create artificial pools automatically. It will continue to place fluid until the area below it is filled to its level.

The Loot Recycler is designed to handle the influx of junk items from mob grinders.

• Processing: It accepts vanilla and Ender IO tools, weapons, and armor (e.g., damaged bows, gold boots).
• Enchantment Stripping: The machine automatically strips enchantments off the items during processing.
• Loot Bags: As items are recycled, the machine accumulates "points." Once a threshold is reached, it produces a Loot Bag. This allows players to turn useless mob drops into potentially valuable randomized rewards.

The Portal Tank is a unique block created by lighting a Nether Portal inside a reinforced tank structure.

Beyond heavy machinery, the mod adds several utility items for base management and exploration.

Magnetic Flags are advanced way-markers for pathfinding in caves or complex dimensions.

• Magnetic Charger: Flags must be magnetized in this machine before they can be used.
• Pathfinding: When a player places a flag, it automatically points toward the previous flag placed from that same stack. This creates a visible trail leading back to a base or portal.
• Configuration: Right-clicking a flag with a stack can "re-aim" the stack to that specific flag. Placing a flag in a crafting grid will "un-aim" it, resetting the trail.

An advanced version of the standard Ender IO Power Monitor.

• Visual Data: It provides a historical graph of power levels across connected Capacitor Banks. This allows players to track power consumption and generation trends over time, making it easier to identify bottlenecks in their energy grid.

A specialized version of the Ender IO Farming Station designed specifically for compatibility with the AgriCraft mod. It automates the planting, tending, and harvesting of AgriCraft crops on crops sticks, ensuring that the specific mechanics of that mod (like seed mutation and spread) are respected by the automation.

The mod adds 16 decoration blocks to help players maintain a consistent industrial look.

Automation Logic

Most machines in Ender IO Addons follow the standard Ender IO side-configuration logic. Using a Yeta Wrench, players can configure sides to Pull, Push, or Disabled for items, fluids, and power.

Recipe Overview

While recipes vary by modpack, the standard 1.7.10 recipes typically involve:

• Machine Chassis: The base for most machines.
• Capacitors: Used to upgrade the speed and energy storage of the Cobbleworks, Niard, and Impulse Hopper.
• Dark Steel: Frequently used in the construction of the Drain and reinforced components.

Configuration

The mod includes a configuration file (EnderIOAddons.cfg) that allows server owners to:

• Adjust the RF consumption of machines.
• Enable or disable specific machines.
• Configure the Loot Recycler's point values for different items.
• Toggle the "trash can" functionality of the Portal Tank.
