Mod Description

Immersive Geology is an add-on mod for Immersive Engineering that enhances the world with new minerals, and advanced engineering options.

Designed to integrate with Immersive Engineering and other technology-focused mods, Immersive Geology introduces:

  • New mineral veins and ores to enrich exploration and mining
  • Additional multiblock structures for advanced resource processing
  • Detailed engineering tools and machinery to optimize production
  • Do note; This is a complete overhaul, as such some vanilla ores have been removed from generation.

This mod is crafted for dedicated engineers, miners, and survival enthusiasts, aiming to provide a richer, more rewarding experience in resource gathering and industrialization. Through its features, I hope to share real-world insights into the processes and applications that shape the very materials we use to build our world.

  • NOTE: I would break these multiblock on a world before updating, and reform it after the update to avoid issues as I've moved the master block which *can* cause issues for formed multiblocks.*

  • Models and Textures:**
  • Implemented a new model for the Bloomery.
  • Updated Refractory Brick Texture.
  • Updated Grit, Powder, Compound Dust, Crushed Ore, Metal Oxide and Slag Textures
  • Added a bunch of Color Palettes for various Materials IG has.

  • Implemented "Intro" and "Getting Started" sections for the manual.

  • Mod Updates:**
  • Updated Immersive Engineering (IE) and moved to Forge 47.3.0.
  • Removed schematics from Immersive Geology (IG), as this feature has been separated into its own mod.
  • Fixed a bunch of Missing Early Game Recipes
  • Reworked the Manual Entries for Early Game Progression
  • Added a very basic Iron Ingot Recipe for early game progression
