Essentials
Essentials expands automation and redstone in a balanced and vanilla style. While there's full ingame documentation with Patchouli installed (strongly recommended), here's a few highlights:
- A single block chest that remembers item types for each slot
- Farmland that self-replants
- Simple and cheap item transport and sorting
- Single-block redstone circuits that can do logic or math
- And more...
Essentials has no worldgen, no balance destroying features, has ingame documentation, and is highly configurable. It can be dropped into a modpack without issues.
