About this Mod

Crossroads

Minecraft to three decimal places

A tech mod with the goal of making automation interesting. No one block solutions, just simple pieces that combine to make complex contraptions. Crossroads is a mod where you make Rube Goldberg machines, except they're the simplest way to do things.

Crossroads isn't balanced around waiting for machines to process or mining a certain amount of rare ore–it’s balanced around the player's ability to think outside the box when it comes to automation. While many things are tricky to create, late game Crossroads becomes powerful, with staffs that shoot lightning, flying vehicles, and being able to cheaply produce most raw materials, like iron or redstone. Like Botania, Crossroads can be played alone for an extra challenge.

Crossroads starts out steampunk, with separate power systems for heat, rotary, and steam power. By late game, teslapunk alchemy labs mass-produce raw resources, bioengineering tinkers with genetics, and technomancy workshops meddle with time itself.

Documentation

Installing Patchoull is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
There is ingame documentation if Patchouli is installed.
For older versions (Crossroads 1.X.X), documentation is done through GuideAPI.

Localization

The Crossroads community has translated the mod to Russian, Mandarin, and also Pirate Speak for some reason.




Crossroads has existed since 2016. For older versions, see the https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/crossroads-mc.
