Actually Additions

A long-running magitech mod that turns minerals into crystals, then into machines, laser transport and oil-fired power. The current NeoForge line is a ground-up refresh with new models and textures.

Actually Additions is a magitech mod for Java that Ellpeck first published in 2015 and that has passed 97 million downloads. It runs on NeoForge today, with an older Forge line that has stopped, and its files are tagged for both sides. It adds processing machines, sorting tools and wireless transport, all built on crystals you make yourself.

Loaders and versions

  • NeoForge: Minecraft 1.20.4 to 1.21.1. The newest build requires Patchouli, optionally Just Enough Items (JEI) and Curios API.
  • Forge: Minecraft 1.12.2, builds stopped after November 2020. The newest build needs no dependencies.

What it adds

Progression starts with the Atomic Reconstructor and the Empowerer, which convert minerals into powerful crystals.

  • Machines for processing and sorting items.
  • Lasers that move energy, items and fluids wirelessly.
  • Renewable oil that fuels power generation.

The 1.20.4 return brought brand-new models and textures along with a broad set of overhauls, so it is more than a straight port of the old mod.

Installation

  1. 1.Install NeoForge for your chosen Minecraft release, following how to install Forge and NeoForge.
  2. 2.Place the Actually Additions file and the required Patchouli file in the mods folder, as covered in installing mods on Java Edition.
  3. 3.Add Just Enough Items or Curios API if you want them. Both are optional.
  4. 4.Launch with the NeoForge profile.

Because the files are tagged for both sides, put the same set of mod files on a dedicated host and on each player's machine.
