Features
World Generation
Mechworks adds copper and aluminum ores that generate in the overworld, these ores are used to craft items throughout the mod.
If aluminum brass is available, it is used instead. E.g. this mod will provide copper and aluminum for Tinkers' Construct that you can use to make aluminum brass using the smeltery.
Drawbridge
Place and retract any kind of block, including ones not normally movable with pistons. They also hold their own inventory as items, meaning you can place drawbridges with drawbridges!
Firestarter
Sets the block in front of it on fire when given a redstone signal, and can optionally extinguish it when power is removed
