About this Mod
ABOUT:
Rando's Tech is a simple tech mod that is similar to Minecraft vanilla, which adds new blocks, items and crafting recipes. These are some of the blocks in this mod that you can find in the Gallery section. Recipes for items can be confusing, so I recommend using mods like REI. This mod is not good for a stand-alone mod, it's recommended to play this mod with other mods.
Blocks:
Battery
- A block that stores forge energy. Connected with a cable.
Drill
- A block that breaks blocks under it.
Quarry
- A block that slowly breaks blocks in a chunk.
Solar Panels
- The only energy-making block in the mod and produces forge energy so it can probaly work with other forge mods.
Cable
- A redstone-like block and tranfers forge energy from a generator block to a block like a Drill
Pump
- Pump in fluids to generate power.
Pipes
- Cables but for Pumps.
Items:
Jetpack
- A Chestpiece that makes you fly when you spam the spacebar. Doesn't need fuel!
Reinforced Boots
- A footwear that stops all fall damage when wearing it. A good combo with the jetpack.
Refined Iron
- A new set of ores that can be obtained by smelting iron.
Steel
- A new set of ores that can be found anywhere from deepslate to bedrock level.
Electronic Circuit
- Crafted from Steel and Refined Iron it is a core item to build the tech blocks in this mod.

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Rando's Tech consumes the most tick time.
