Research Cube

Research Cube is a NeoForge 1.21.1 Minecraft mod that adds a tiered research system to the game. Place items and a research fluid into the Research Station, run a research job, and receive a Drive imprinted with a crafting recipe ID. Take that Drive to the Drive Crafting Table with the required ingredients to produce advanced items. Progress from unstable prototype components all the way to self-aware technology across seven distinct tiers, with every recipe and research definition fully customizable through datapacks.

Features

  • Seven research tiers UNSTABLE through SELF_AWARE, each with dedicated Drive and Cube items
  • Research Station GeckoLib-animated block with a fluid tank, item cost slots, progress bar, and prerequisite tracking
  • Drive Crafting Table Shapeless and shaped crafting gated behind imprinted Drives
  • Processing Station Standalone crafting station with no research requirement
  • Four research fluids Thinking, Pondering, Reasoning, and Imagination, each tied to a tier
  • Research Book In-game encyclopedia of all loaded research definitions
  • HUD overlay On-screen progress indicator while research runs
  • Team sharing Pool completed research across players on the same /team
  • Full datapack support Add, modify, or remove research and recipes with zero code
