About this Mod

"Appliance: a device or piece of equipment designed to perform a specific task."

Appliances adds various gadgets, machines, items and gameplay mechanics. Tries to be close to vanilla principles.
Ideal for modded hardcore survival.

Freezer and Cooler


Were created with "Spoiled" mod in mind, as current mod options that include fridges are lacking, too heavy or do not have needed features. Installing "MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod: Refurbished" or "Cooking for Blockheads" just to have a refrigerator? No more!

Though, by default, Freezer only requires energy, and Cooler only requires coolant to operate, you can enable or disable any features you want for each machine.

  • Configurable energy usage (can be completely disabled). Works with pipes.
  • Configurable coolant usage (can be completely disabled). Works with pipes.
  • Start, stop, close, open, processing sounds (can be disabled separately). Soothing hum included!
  • Hoppers and item/fluid pipes support.
  • Configurable inventory size.
  • Comparator signal output, just like chests.
  • Adaptive GUI. Automatically adjusts inventory size, hides energy bar and/or collant panel if any of the features are disabled.
  • Whitelist, blacklist support (using item tags).
  • Can accept only edibles or even only meat.

Water Condenser

Time of using sink from "Cooking for Blockheads" as a water source in your low, mid or high tech contraptions has passed. Presenting to you Water Condenser, with configurable tank properties and ability to hydrate farmland blocks in, as always, configurable set area.

  • Configurable tank properties.
  • Can auto output to adjacent blocks (machines, tanks).
  • Farmland hydration: can be completely disabled; area of hydration is configured horizontally and vertically.
  • Can be controlled with a redstone signal.
  • Supports fluid pipes.

Landmine

If you want a landmine that truely suits your needs; if you were installing "Security Craft" only to have mines at your disposal; if you are looking for a solution, — you've came to a right place. As always, highly configurable, landmines have these features:

  • Falls down if there's no block beneath. Can be configured to explode on landing.
  • Flammable - keep away from fire sources!
  • Visual feedback for inactive, active, primed states, with animated blinking state.
  • Chain reaction!
  • Pletora of custom sounds for various events.
  • Can emit light and beeping sound when blinking (configurable).
  • Toggleable block destruction.
  • Toggleable redstone activation.
  • Toggleable fire after explosion. Who said napalm?
  • Configurable grace period, proximity radius, blinking interval, detonation delay.
  • Configurable explosion radius (in Minecraft terms almost the same as amount of damage).

Tools

Have you ever started a new game or went on an adventure and thought: "Man, I need shears. Time to mine for iron"? Or all you want is to light a candle or an extinguished campfire, but now you need to look not only for iron, but flint as well? You don't have to! "Bow Drill" is a cheap alternative to Flint and Steel, yet it has less durability, takes some time and not very reliable. But it surely works when in need. And Wooden and Flint Shears are balanced low and mid tier alternatives to vanilla Shears, having less durability.

As always, everything can be configured!

Configs

Install "Configured" mod to be able to change configs in-game. World or game restart are required after changes being applied.

Frequently Asked Questions

Appliances server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Appliances compatible with forge?

Appliances officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Appliances – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Appliances consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
