Technic

A mod for minetest

Overview

The technic modpack extends the Minetest game with many new elements, mainly constructable machines and tools. It is a large modpack, and tends to dominate gameplay when it is used. This manual describes how to use the technic modpack, mainly from a player's perspective.

The technic modpack depends on some other modpacks:

• the basic Minetest game
• mesecons, which supports the construction of logic systems based on signalling elements
• pipeworks, which supports the automation of item transport
• moreores, which provides some additional ore types
• basic_materials, which provides some basic craft items

This manual doesn't explain how to use these other modpacks, which have their own manuals:

• Minetest Game Documentation
• Mesecons Documentation
• Pipeworks Documentation
• Moreores Forum Post
• Basic materials Repository

Recipes for constructable items in technic are generally not guessable, and are also not specifically documented here. You should use a craft guide mod to look up the recipes in-game. For the best possible guidance, use the unified_inventory mod, with which technic registers its specialised recipe types.
