📖About FluxForge

FluxForge

FluxForge is an industrial tech plugin for Paper, Spigot and Purpur servers. Build energy networks using generators, solar panels and batteries connected through copper conduits. Automate your world with machines that mine, smelt, sort items and grind mobs. Craft your way up through a three-tier component system and eventually build a Flux Jetpack to fly around your setup. No mods or resource packs required.


Features

  • Energy network system with per-machine buffers, conduit routing, and automatic network split/merge
  • 8 machines: Generator, Solar Panel, Battery, Electric Furnace, Miner, Mob Grinder, Item Sorter, Charging Station
  • Flux Jetpack worn in the chestplate slot, charged at a Charging Station
  • Three-tier crafting progression from vanilla copper plates up to nether star powered components
  • In-game recipe viewer via /ff recipes, available to all players
  • Flux Wrench to open GUIs for every machine
  • Toggleable machines - Miner and Mob Grinder are off by default, toggle with the wrench
  • Full localization - English and Czech included, easy to add more languages
  • SQLite by default, MySQL and MariaDB supported with a built-in migration command
  • Fully configurable energy values, machine costs, fuel rates and more

Energy System

Every machine has its own FE (Flux Energy) buffer. Generators and solar panels produce energy which flows through copper grate conduits to consumer machines. Batteries store excess power for use when generators cannot keep up. Breaking a conduit splits the network cleanly with no energy lost. The more machines drawing from one generator, the faster it burns through fuel.


Machines

Machine Description
Generator Burns coal, charcoal or coal blocks to produce 10 FE/s. Holds 1000 FE.
Solar Panel Produces 3 FE/s during daylight with sky access. Passive, no fuel needed.
Battery Stores up to 5000 FE. Absorbs excess from generators, supplements consumers.
Electric Furnace Smelts items using FE instead of fuel. 50 FE per smelt.
Miner Automatically mines blocks straight down. 100 FE per block. Toggleable.
Mob Grinder Kills hostile mobs within 8 blocks. 75 FE per kill. Toggleable.
Item Sorter Moves items from a source chest to destination chests by material filter. 10 FE per operation.
Charging Station Charges the Flux Jetpack. 10 FE/s charge rate.

Crafting Progression

FluxForge has a three-tier component system. All recipes are viewable in-game with /ff recipes.

Tier 1 uses only vanilla materials - copper ingots, iron ingots, gold ingots and redstone. Produces Copper Plates, Iron Plates, Gold Plates and Basic Circuits.

Tier 2 requires diamonds and nether stars - produces Advanced Circuits, Machine Frames, Energy Cores and Flux Coils. Most early machines are crafted at this tier.

Tier 3 requires nether stars and blaze rods - produces Flux Crystals, Advanced Machine Frames and Energy Cells. The Miner, Mob Grinder and Jetpack are unlocked here.


Flux Jetpack

Crafted at Tier 3 and worn in the chestplate slot. Charge it at a Charging Station connected to your energy network. Double-tap space to activate flight, double-tap again to deactivate. If charge runs out mid-air, Slow Falling kicks in automatically so you land safely. Current charge is always shown in the item lore.

Translations

FluxForge ships with English (en_us) and Czech (cs_cz). To add a new language, copy en_us.yml from the translations/ folder, rename it, translate the values and set it as active in config.yml. Switch languages live with /ff language <code>.


Requirements
