Features

This mod adds a "Smeltery" task for maids, enabling them to autonomously manage the full TiC smeltery/foundry workflow:

  • Auto Pathfinding — BFS search for nearby smelteries/foundries with position caching
  • Fuel Management — Detects low fuel and refills using fluid containers from inventory (compatible with all mod
    implementing Forge fluid capability)
  • Ore Insertion — Inserts allowlisted items into the smeltery for melting, automatically skipping items that require
    higher temperature
  • Fluid Pouring — After melting, automatically activates faucets to pour fluid into casting tables/basins; supports
    ingot casts, gem casts, nugget casts, and basins with priority-based target selection; checks for valid casting
    recipes before pouring
  • Item Collection — Collects finished items from casting tables/basins after cooling
  • Alloy Avoidance — Checks alloy recipes before inserting ores, only inserts when the new fluid won't form a new
    alloy with existing fluids (smeltery only, not foundry)
  • Fluid Sorting — Automatically moves the largest fluid volume to the bottom before pouring, ensuring priority
    export
  • Fuel Protection — Won't insert ores when fuel is completely depleted, preventing items from getting stuck
  • Non-Meltable Extraction — Automatically extracts items that can't be melted (no recipe or insufficient
    temperature) from the smeltery
  • Auto Compacting — Auto-craft 9 nuggets into ingots, 9 ingots/gems into blocks (can be disabled)
  • Inventory Sorting — Auto-sort inventory by Blocks > Ingots > Gems > Nuggets > Other (can be disabled)
  • Status Bubbles — Maids display chat bubbles based on current work state, including no fuel, no ores, no casts,
    inventory full, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

MaidsConstruct 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 MaidsConstruct compatible with forge?

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

Server lagging with MaidsConstruct – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if MaidsConstruct consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
