About this project

What does Periodica add?

!Alpha version!

The mod doesn't add much content yet because it's in alpha.

  • The mod adds new ore, some electronics, armor and tools, as well as blocks.
  • There are plans to develop the mod and add a lot of content.
  • There are still a lot of things without functionality.
  • You can find information about some items in the gallery.
  • I try to make the mod as realistic as possible.

In the new version of the mod, the world's lower limit is now -128 blocks. Ores have become less frequent, but the quantity within a single deposit has increased. In caves at the new depths, you may encounter familiar biomes as well as tougher mobs; the deeper you go, the stronger the hostile mobs become. A mod that improves certain aspects of chemistry, much of it based on real-life chemistry.
Some ingots can't be obtained simply by smelting them in a furnace; chemical reactions are required. Update 0.0.4 added a workbench where you can upgrade your equipment (currently, only steel and titanium armor can be upgraded, and only with tungsten).

Since work on JEI support is still ongoing, I decided to release a video with crafts:

Planned for the near future:

  • Compatibility with Create
  • Making the game even harder
  • Customizable mod settings
  • New cave biomes
  • Slightly increasing the difficulty of the Nether
