What is XyCraft Machines?
Same as in the All the Mods 10 1.17a guide
XyCraft Machines is part of the pack. This pack ships version 0.7.45 (the file xycraft_machines-0.7.45.jar), and the mod has been in the pack since version 0.32 or earlier.[1]
Unverified I couldn't confirm what the mod does or who it is aimed at. The sources I have are only the pack's mod list, with no guidebook or platform description. I also couldn't confirm any recipes, configs or progression details, so I'm not guessing at them here.
Unverified No quests in this pack involve the mod, and it isn't on the ATM Star quest path. That is based on what I was told about this mod rather than on a source I can cite, so check it in-game if it matters to you.
How do you get started with XyCraft Machines?
5 parts
XyCraft Machines gives you a big set of crafting-table machines. Every item below has a recipe in the pack, and the recipe blocks show the exact in-pack ingredients. The order here is a suggested path based on what each block does, starting with the basics and moving on to automation.[2][3]
Tools and the Machine Base
Start with the Aluminum Wrench. The tooltip on Item IO says its fill or drain side can be toggled with a wrench, so you will want one in hand before you set machines up.[2][3]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | any aluminum ingot | Empty slot |
| Empty slot | any xychorium gem | any aluminum ingot |
| any aluminum ingot | Empty slot | Empty slot |
Recipe id: xycraft:shaped/aluminum_wrench
The mod's wrench item.
Next, make some Machine Base. One craft gives you 2 of them.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any aluminum ingot | any kivi |
| any kivi | any aluminum ingot |
Recipe id: xycraft:shaped/machine_base
One craft makes 2 Machine Bases.
Fluids and tanks
The Valve is how you build tanks. Its tooltip says it allows the creation of tanks and shows a maximum size. The Hydro Pump then pumps water automatically into a connected tank.[2][3]

| any kivi | any kivi | |
| any xychorium gem | any xychorium gem | |

| Empty slot | any kivi | Empty slot |
| Iron Bars | Bucket | Iron Bars |
| Empty slot | Empty slot |
Recipe id: xycraft:shaped/fluid_void
Gathering and automating
The Extractor pulls items and fluids out of the environment, so it is your first resource gatherer. The Collector is filterable and collects items before they become entities.[2][3]
Crafting Shaped
| any kivi | any port | any kivi |
| any aluminum ingot | Piston | any aluminum ingot |

Base utilities
The Light Field prevents spawns in a cubed volume, and its tooltip shows a radius.[2][3]

Recipe id: xycraft:shaped/light_field
The pack has changed the recipe for the Flare Rod, so use the recipe block below instead of any mod default you may remember. Its tooltip says it consumes something to place a light.[2][3]

Also added by the pack: a pressing recipe for the same block.
How does XyCraft Machines work?
6 parts
XyCraft Machines is built from single machines plus small pieces that move items, fluids and energy between them. This section walks through what the mod's own text and the pack's files tell us about how those pieces behave.[3]
Tanks and fluids
The Valve is how you make a tank: its tooltip says it allows the creation of tanks, and it also shows a maximum size. Tank screens show the tank's capacity, or that it is empty.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| any kivi | any kivi | |
| any xychorium gem | any xychorium gem | |
| any kivi | any kivi |
Recipe id: xycraft:shaped/valve
The Valve's in-pack recipe.
The Hydro Pump pumps water into a connected tank by itself. It can be extracted from at a higher rate, and its tooltip lists a base rate per cycle and a separate waterlogged rate per cycle.[3]
The Fluid Void stops fluids from flowing into adjacent blocks. Use it to keep a fluid where you want it.[3]
The mod also has a Fluid Pipe and a Fluid Port. If you have Jade installed, it adds a Tank Info display and an Extractor Info display for this mod.[3]
Crafting Shapeless
- any aluminum nugget
- any aluminum nugget
- Bucket
Recipe id: xycraft:shapeless/port_fluid
One craft gives you 4 Fluid Ports.
Items and automation
The Item IO has a fill side and a drain side, and you toggle which is which with a wrench. The mod also has an Aluminum Wrench.[3]
The Collector is filterable and collects items before they become item entities. The mod has four filter items: Attribute Filter Mesh, Fluid Filter Mesh, List Filter Mesh and Scalar Filter Mesh.[3]
The Fabricator crafts items automatically. Its screen has three options: Always On, High Signal and Pulse.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| any xychorium gem | Crafting Table | any xychorium gem |
| any kivi | any kivi | |
| any xychorium gem | any chest | any xychorium gem |

Recipe id: xycraft:shapeless/port_item
One craft gives you 4 Item Ports.
Energy
The mod includes an Energy Pipe, an Energy Port and a Charger, which charges items using external energy. Jade can also show an Energy Pipe Debug display.[3]
When you break a Durable Cell, it keeps its stored energy in the item it drops.[4]
For testing, there are creative blocks: the Energy Selector creates unlimited energy, the Fluid Selector creates unlimited amounts of a selected fluid, and the Item Selector does the same for a selected item.[3]
Light and spawn control
The Light Field prevents spawns in a cubed volume, and its tooltip shows the radius. The Illumination Field lights up a volume of area.[3]
The Flare Rod consumes something to place a light, and the pack has changed its crafting recipe from the mod's own version.[2][3]
Crafting Shaped
| any xychorium gem |
| any wooden rod |
| any wooden rod |
Recipe id: xycraft:shaped/flare_rod
This is the pack's changed Flare Rod recipe.
Bio Resin
The pack registers its own Bio Resin fluid, using this mod's resin textures. You can turn it into a Block of Bio Resin with two recipes the pack adds: one in Energized Power and one in Horse Powered.[2][5]
Fluid Freezer (energizedpower)
Recipe id: energizedpower:fluid_freezer/bio_resin_to_resin_block
The Fluid Freezer needs 1,000 of the pack's Bio Resin fluid per block.
Pressing (horsepowered)
Recipe id: horsepowered:pressing/bio_resin_to_resin_block
The pack also adds this pressing recipe.
The mod's own crafting recipes convert between Bio Resin Balls and the block. Unpacking one block gives you 9 balls.[2]
Ore Tap recipes
The mod has an ore tap recipe type. Its three recipes each produce 100 of ore slurry, steam or super heated ore.[2]
How do you progress through XyCraft Machines?
4 parts
The sources for this pack do not show a tier ladder for XyCraft Machines, and they do not list recipe ingredients or any ordering between machines. So I will not invent a tier list. What follows is what the pack's recipes do confirm.[2]
Machine Base and the core machines
The Machine Base is crafted in batches, and the recipe below gives you 2 at a time. The Extractor, Collector, Fabricator, Buffer and Durable Cell each have their own crafting recipe in the pack.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any aluminum ingot | any kivi |
| any kivi | any aluminum ingot |
Recipe id: xycraft:shaped/machine_base
One craft makes 2 Machine Bases.
Batch crafts and logistics parts
- Proxy comes 4 per craft.[2]
- Item Port and Fluid Port are shapeless recipes that each make 4.[2]
- Soaryn Box is crafted 2 at a time.[2]
What the pack changed
The Flare Rod recipe is marked as changed by the pack, so do not rely on the mod's default recipe for it. Check the in-pack recipe below.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any xychorium gem |
| any wooden rod |
| any wooden rod |
Recipe id: xycraft:shaped/flare_rod
This is the pack's version of the Flare Rod recipe.
The pack also adds two extra ways to get a Block of Bio Resin. Energized Power has a fluid freezer recipe that turns 1,000 of ftb:bio_resin into one block, and Horse Powered has a pressing recipe for it. The mod's own compacting recipe is still there too.[2]
Fluid Freezer (energizedpower)
Recipe id: energizedpower:fluid_freezer/bio_resin_to_resin_block
Pressing (horsepowered)
Recipe id: horsepowered:pressing/bio_resin_to_resin_block
Crafting Shapeless
Recipe id: xycraft:compacting/resin_ball
Going the other way, a single unpacking craft turns a block back into 9 Bio Resin Ball.[2]
Ore tap outputs
The mod's ore tap recipes each produce 100 units of their output: Ore Slurry, Steam and Super Heated Ore. The sources here do not show what feeds them.[2]
How does XyCraft Machines work with other mods?
2 parts
The sources here show a connection between XyCraft Machines and other mods, and it all revolves around the Block of Bio Resin. The pack adds its own Bio Resin fluid and then ties it to that block through recipes from other mods.[2][5]
Bio Resin, the pack's own fluid
Bio Resin (Bio Resin) is a fluid the pack registers itself in a startup script. It borrows the resin still and flowing textures from XyCraft Machines, so it looks like the mod's own resin even though the pack creates it.[5]
Turning Bio Resin into a Block of Bio Resin
The pack adds a fluid freezer recipe in Energized Power that takes 1,000 of Bio Resin and gives you the Block of Bio Resin.[2]
Fluid Freezer (energizedpower)
Recipe id: energizedpower:fluid_freezer/bio_resin_to_resin_block
Added by the pack: 1,000 Bio Resin in a fluid freezer for a Block of Bio Resin.
IntegratedDynamics gets pack-added recipes with the same name pattern, for the drying basin and for the mechanical drying basin. Both use 1,000 Bio Resin and involve the Block of Bio Resin.[2]
Drying Basin (integrateddynamics)
Recipe id: integrateddynamics:drying_basin/base/bio_resin_to_resin_block
Added by the pack for the drying basin, using 1,000 Bio Resin.
Mechanical Drying Basin (integrateddynamics)
Recipe id: integrateddynamics:mechanical_drying_basin/base/bio_resin_to_resin_block
Added by the pack for the mechanical drying basin, using 1,000 Bio Resin.
