About this project
What does Modern Industrialization add?
As of Minecraft 1.20.4, Modern Industrialization is now exclusive to NeoForge. Fabric is not supported anymore on recent versions.
Don't forget to install EMI, JEI, or REI to see the recipes in-game. We recommend using Jade too! It's optional, but it helps a lot!

FAQ
Is this GregTech?
MI is inspired by GregTech, but we have removed all the tedious parts, and we are going in our own direction.
What exactly are the differences with GregTech?
- MI doesn't and will never change the way Minecraft works. No nerfing or changing of recipes, same ore generation as vanilla (small patches of ores), ...
- MI doesn't have the 10 annoying crafting tools. No need to craft a new hammer/wrench/file/mortar/... every 20 recipes. Instead, it has a single optional tool that can be used to have the optimal material conversion ratios without machines.
- MI has a very powerful pipe system that allows you to automate your setups very early. No need to grind for hours without any automation.
- MI is very resource-hungry, but you'll get a quarry early on that will entirely remove your need for mining if you care to automate it.
- MI doesn't have 10 tiers of every possible machine. Instead, it uses an original overclock system allowing machines and multiblocks to reach 1 craft / tick provided you have enough upgrades and energy.
