Custom multiblock machines for modpacks
Masterful Machinery Wiki
Documentation for Masterful Machinery on Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge. The previous public wiki is gone, so this site is a best-effort restoration and expanded replacement: old documentation was preserved where possible, then checked and extended against the 1.20.1 source.
Use it to define controllers and ports in config/mm, build structures and process recipes in datapacks,
or register the same concepts through KubeJS.
