Description

Alex's Caves Enriched mod title in the style of the Minecraft title   An addon for Alex's Caves that changes how you obtain and craft nuclear bombs, as well as improving the effects of nukes on the environment. > **WARNING:** It is recommended to **turn OFF item drops from the nuke** in Alex's Caves configs! Also setting the nuke radius in Alex's Caves to `6` or higher is recommended—the explosions have been optimized for larger radii. **Dependencies:** Citadel, Patchouli, Cloth Config, Kotlin For Forge, and [Alex's Caves](https://modrinth.com/mod/alexs-caves) (of course) --- To get started, craft a guidebook using a book and `alexscaves:uranium` (Requires Patchouli). There is also `EMI` support for the new recipes and in-world block transmutations. shapeless guidebook crafting recipe consisting of 1 book and 1 uranium from alex's caves   **This mod adds:** Spoiler - Enriched uranium, rod, block - Overhauled nuclear explosion - Uranium enrichment process - Rocket launcher and rocket types - Uranium arrow - Uranium candy - New types of nukes (Mini-nuke, Neutron bomb, Black hole bomb) - Nuka Cola - Raygun MkII (And gamma variant) - Flamethrower - Railgun How to enrich uranium: Spoiler Smelt uranium blocks in an Alex's Caves nuclear furnace to get a *Block of Salted Uranium*. Then put that block in a *Centrifuge* and wait (will take a while). Smelting uranium will leak radiation in the surrounding area so get your hazmat suit on to make sure the nuclear furnace doesnt overheat! ![Instructions on assembling the centrifuge: 4 centrifuge tops on a centrifuge base, then power the base. Each slot has independent 1/72000 chance of enrichment. Comparator output can be taken out of bottom block for fullness of output](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/37bfcaf50e28c093e2a4d21b4836cbbf4d564349.jpeg) Server side performance settings: Spoiler Note explosions have been optimized compared to Alex's Caves. For weaker hardware, you can try the following settings, in order of greatest to least impact: - Turn off "Create glowing irradiated air" in nuclear explosion config (glowing air may cause light updates and significantly increased memory usage) - Reduce explosion radii for neutron bomb, black hole bomb, mini-nuke (nuke follows Alex's Caves) - Set effect cloud duration to 0 in nuclear explosion config You may use this in modpacks! ## Credits: - Bowserinator: code and some programmer art - Xenonomous: art and models - Auri: code - AlexModGuy: original Alex's Caves mod
