What is XyCraft Core?

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.3 guide

This pack ships XyCraft Core version 0.7.53, using the file xycraft_core-0.7.53-all.jar. It was first included in the pack at version 0.32 or earlier.[1]

How do you get started with XyCraft Core?

1 part

Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide

I'd love to give you a first-items crafting order for XyCraft Core, but the sources here don't show one for this pack. No quests involve it, and no recipes for its items are shown, so I won't invent a path. What I can confirm comes from the mod's own text strings.[2]

What you can check straight away

  • Controls: the mod adds a key binding category called XyCraft, with a Modifier Key entry. Open your Controls screen and see what it is bound to before you start.[2]
  • Strict Mode: some slots have a Strict Mode. The game shows a hint telling you which key toggles it.[2]
  • Energy use: the mod has a description line reading "Energy per action", so energy cost is shown to you directly on the things that use it.[2]

Unverified The recipes, quests and config values for XyCraft Core in this pack are not shown in the sources here. Check the pack's own quest book and recipe viewer to find out what to craft first. This site does hold FTB Skies 2: Aero's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

How does XyCraft Core work?

The sources for this mod are very thin, so this section is short. I can only confirm a couple of entries from the mod's English text, and I won't guess beyond them.[3]

Energy use

The mod has a tooltip line that reads "Energy per action" followed by a value. It sits under a key named for xynergy, so XyCraft Core has its own energy concept. The line tells you how much energy one action costs.[3]

Colored Cloud Blocks

The mod defines a block tag called Colored Cloud Blocks, which groups the colored cloud blocks together.[3]
