GTM Extended Features

Addon for GTCEu Modern (Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge) that adds "QoL" multiblocks based on existing GTCEu machines, with extra benefits (parallels, laser hatches, compressed recipes) at the cost of more resources to build. Designed for Gregtech-style progression modpacks that want to ease bottlenecks without breaking the original balance, that also offers utilities for modpack developers and full configuration to manage the end-user experience!

What does this addon offers?

New Multiblocks

Abbreviation	Machine	Description
RAM	Robust Alloy Materializer	Alloy Blast Smelter that allows parallel hatches and laser hatches
ACU	Advanced Cracking Unit	Parallel Cracker
ERC	Enlarged Reaction Chamber	Parallel Large Chemical Reactor
LPU	Large Pyrolysis Unit	Parallel Pyro Oven
AFR	Advanced Fusion Reactors	Fusion Reactors that can perform recipes in parallel using custom parallel logic per tier
CAL	Compact Assembly Line	Assembly line that doesnt need ordered inputs in order to work, and runs 4 parallels by itself
RPP	Rock Processing Plant	Allows the player to turn common types of rocks into the inputs get by its normal processing, in simple words: Macerator > Centrifuge > Electrolyzer all in one machine
IGh	Industrial Greenhouse	Allows passive income of any type of wood
TGC	Tree Growing Chamber	IV Version of the IGh, allows regular parallel hatches
DA	Disassembler	A multiblock designed to recycle machines, returninig all components used on it, instead of the materials (arc scrapping/macerating)
EDB	Expanded Data Bank	A bigger version of the regular data bank that allows 16 independent connections, not recommended to be daisy chained since most of the times a player doesnt need more than 8 or 16 assembly lines

New Machines/Singleblocks

Your modpack has a lot of research related components? tired of chaining data banks? no more!

Extended Features now has Expanded Data Access Hatches

• 3 Different flavors to choose!
  • ZPM Data Access Hatch: 36 Slots for Research Data
  • UV Data Access Hatch: 49 Slots for Research Data
  • UHV Data Access Hatch: 64 Slots for Research Data

Essentially allowing to store every Data Stick, Data Orb and Data Module (and probably a custom data object) inside only ONE of them

Developer utilities

If you're building your own GTCEu addon and want to depend on this one, it exposes reusable utilities in both Java and KubeJS.

Laser Hatch-capable multiblocks (Java only)

Custom formation logic for multiblocks that can accept either Laser Hatches or Energy Hatches, available for both Workable and CoilWorkable multiblock types:

Laser	Energy Hatch	Valid formation?
0	0	❌
1	0	✅
0	1	✅
1	1	❌ (both at once isn't allowed)

import com.argxment.extendedfeatures.client.init.utils.WorkableMultiblockLaser;
import com.argxment.extendedfeatures.client.init.utils.CoilWorkableMultiblockLaser;

public class Machines {

    public static MultiblockMachineDefinition TEST_MULTIBLOCK = REGISTER
            .multiblock("coil_laser_multiblock", CoilWorkableMultiblockLaser::new)
    // rest of the definition...

    public static MultiblockMachineDefinition TEST_MULTIBLOCK_2 = REGISTER
            .multiblock("regular_laser_multiblock", WorkableMultiblockLaser::new)
    // rest of the definition...
}

There's no KubeJS example for this because on the KubeJS side it already works fine — the formation issue only shows up for multiblocks defined in Java.

Recipe Modifiers

Simple Parallel

Allows any multiblock to run parallels without a parallel hatch part in its structure. EU/t stays the same, but duration is multiplied ×2 for each parallel level achieved.

// Addon as a dependency
import com.argxment.extendedfeatures.client.init.utils.RecipeModifiers;

// value: int between 0 and 256
.recipeModifiers(RecipeModifiers.SIMPLE_PARALLEL.apply(value))

const RecipeModifiers = Java.loadClass('com.argxment.extendedfeatures.client.init.utils.RecipeModifiers')

.recipeModifiers(RecipeModifiers.SIMPLE_PARALLEL.apply(value))

Tiered Parallel

Automatic parallels based on the machine's tier (currently used by the Advanced Fusion Reactors). Must be used on a tiered multiblock (TieredMultiblockMachineDefinition or similar):

• LuV → 4 parallels
• ZPM → 8 parallels
• UV → 16 parallels

import com.argxment.extendedfeatures.client.init.utils.RecipeModifiers;

.recipeModifiers(RecipeModifiers.TIERED_PARALLEL)

const RecipeModifiers = Java.loadClass('com.argxment.extendedfeatures.client.init.utils.RecipeModifiers')

.recipeModifiers(RecipeModifiers.TIERED_PARALLEL)

Features

• Chemical skips for the ERC regarding specific lines required for progression

Multiblocks
