🇬🇧 English Description

📖 Background & Motivation

The idea for this mod came from revisiting a classic 1.12.2 server, where the sheer power of the original _Ender IO_ was truly captivating. However, when playing modern modpacks like ATM10, the absence of _Ender IO: Endergy_ makes high-tier machine setups feel artificially capped. Standard grinding balls and capacitors just don't provide the ultimate industrial efficiency. Ender IO: Evolution was created to bring that extreme endgame scaling back to modern Minecraft.

🔄 Renaming History & License Shift

To clarify the history of this mod and its licensing:

• July 31, 2023: The classic 1.12.2 version of _Ender IO Endergy_ received its last update and entered a long hiatus.
• February 5, 2026: To bring this experience to modern versions, I independently ported the mod and initially released it under the name Re:Ender IO Endergy.
• March 2, 2026: Unexpectedly, the original official developers completely updated their _Endergy_ mod to modern versions about a month later.
• The Evolution: To avoid any naming confusion with the official release, and because I was actively developing a massive amount of original content, I decided to officially rename the project and its Mod ID to Ender IO: Evolution.
• Old Repository & Issue Tracker Notice: The old repository (Re-Endergy) currently serves solely as a place to accept Issues. Please do not try to read the code there or submit PR (Pull Request) requests, as that codebase will absolutely not be updated anymore. Any bug reports, creative ideas, or even texture/art contributions should be posted there.
• ⚠️ IMPORTANT LICENSE NOTE: Please note that the old legacy versions released under the name "Re:Ender IO Endergy" strictly remain under the MIT License. However, following the name change and the massive code rewrites/art additions, all newer versions under the name "Ender IO: Evolution" are strictly distributed under the ALL RIGHTS RESERVED license.

🛑 IMPORTANT: Version Differences & Status

This mod supports multiple Minecraft versions. The features vary between them, so please read carefully before downloading! _(Update Pipeline: Updates are always released for 1.21.1 NeoForge first, and then backported to 1.20.1 Forge later.)_ _(Save Safety: Registry IDs are carefully managed. Updates are generally safe for existing worlds!)_

🟢 Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge)

• Loader: NeoForge
• Dependencies (Ender IO Version Check):
• File Version 1.0.0+: Only supports Ender IO 7.0.0 ~ 8.0.7
• File Version 2.0.0+: Only supports Ender IO 8.1.0 ~ 8.1.9
• File Version 3.0.0+: Only supports Ender IO 8.2.0+
• Current Status: Fully Released & Complete! Development for this version is fully finished.
• Included Features: ALL content, including Capacitors, Grinding Balls, Metal Blocks, The Complete Conduit Arsenal (Energy + All New Item/Fluid/Chemical Conduits), Parallel SAG Mills, Alloy Smelters & Vats, Simple Stirling Generator, and the Ender Memory Card.
• Changes vs 1.12.2: The crafting recipes for metal ingots and energy conduits have been entirely rewritten. The energy transfer rates for conduits have also been adjusted to fit the modern modding ecosystem.

🟠 Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge)

• Dependencies: Ender IO
• Current Status: Synced with 1.21.1.
• Included Features: Capacitors, Grinding Balls, Metal Blocks, All 7 New High-tier Item/Fluid/Chemical Conduits, Parallel SAG Mills & Alloy Smelters, Simple Stirling Generator, and the Ender Memory Card.
• Explicitly Excluded Features (Will NOT be added in 1.20.1):
• Energy Conduits: Upon testing, the default energy conduits in vanilla _Ender IO (1.20.1)_ already possess high transfer rates. A new series of addon energy conduits would be redundant, so they will not be implemented.
• High-Tier Vats: Since the official Ender IO for 1.20.1 has not yet implemented the base Vat, I cannot create the higher-tier Vats (from Basic to Stellar).

💎 Core Features

This mod implements the necessary items for high-tier progression:

1\. New Alloys & Materials

• Includes Crude Steel, Construction Alloy, Energetic Silver, Vivid Alloy, Crystalline Alloy, Melodic Alloy, and Stellar Alloy. _(Note on Crystalline Pink Slime Ingot: Custom recipes are included, allowing you to craft it without needing Industrial Foregoing.)_

2\. High-Tier Capacitors & Grinding Balls

• Ranging from basic Silver Capacitors to the top-tier Stellar Capacitor. _(Grainy Capacitor's durability limit is completely removed.)_
• Allthemodium Synergy: Features 4 new cross-mod capacitors available in all versions: ATM Capacitor (Level 5.5), Vibranium Capacitor (Level 6.0), Unobtainium Capacitor (Level 6.5), and Piglich Capacitor (Level 7.5).
• Grinding balls made from all new alloys, significantly boosting output percentages and secondary drop rates.

3\. Expanded Conduit Family (Fully Available in ALL Versions!)

• Going far beyond the original 1.12.2 mod, we've introduced a completely original suite of 7 high-tier and maximum-capacity logistics conduits designed to handle endgame automation:
