AlaIndustrial

An IndustrialCraft-inspired tech mod for Minecraft (Java Edition) on Fabric. It adds an EU energy system with voltage tiers (LV/MV/HV), generators, processing machines, storage, and energy/fluid transfer.

The repository is historically named AlaSolar (a leftover from an earlier solar-focused concept), while the mod id is alaindustrial. The solar panel now ships as one of the mod's generators.

Status

The code lives in this repository and builds today: a Fabric prototype for Minecraft 26.2 (Java 25, Loom). The first public milestone is 0.1.0, targeted after Phase 1 in docs/ROADMAP.md.

The current MVP ships a working LV vertical slice: the EU core, generators, copper cable, an Energy Storage block, four processing machines, evolution chips, ore dusts, advancements, a recipe viewer for standard crafting recipes (REI integration), a network analyzer, localization, and the mod icon.

Not yet promised as finished features: MV/HV/EV content, nuclear power, fluid pipes, the oil chain, rubber, machine upgrades, and dedicated machine-recipe categories. See docs/ROADMAP.md for the delivery plan.

Build

Full build, run, and toolchain details are in docs/BUILD.md. In short:

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@25
./gradlew build                  # build the mod
./gradlew runClient              # launch the dev client
./gradlew runGameTest            # in-world GameTests (headless)

Commands

The mod adds an in-game /ala command (Brigadier). All subcommands are permission level 0, so any player can use them to check which build of the mod is running on a server:

• /ala version — a single line with the mod version, git hash, and build time (AlaIndustrial <version> · build <git> · <built>).
• /ala status — the version line plus a summary: the number of registered blocks / items / recipes in the alaindustrial namespace, the energy-network model (cached union-find graph), and key Config values (machineEuPerTick, networksPerTick).
• /ala net — per-dimension energy-network telemetry: the number of networks (active/sleeping), cables, plus EU moved in the last tick and in total (from NetworkManager.stats).

Feature categories

Energy: generators, storage, energy transfer. Processing: machines. Logistics and world automation are planned. See the roadmap for the delivery order.
