Technic
Technic Plus Beta package contains latest updates for Technic Plus mod, this version might not be as stable as Technic Plus release version as it contains latest changes and additions which might include somewhat experimental features and is not tested as well as stable release.
See Technic Plus package for stable and better tested release.
Overview
The technic modpack extends the Minetest game with many new elements, mainly constructable machines and tools. It is a large modpack, and tends to dominate gameplay when it is used. This manual describes how to use the technic modpack, mainly from a player's perspective.
The technic modpack depends on some other modpacks:
- the basic Minetest game
- mesecons, which supports the construction of logic systems based on signaling elements
- pipeworks, which supports the automation of item transport
- moreores, which provides some additional ore types
- basic_materials, which provides some basic craft items
This manual doesn't explain how to use these other modpacks, which have their own manuals:
- Minetest Game Documentation
- Mesecons Documentation
- Pipeworks Documentation
- Moreores Forum Post
- Basic materials Repository
- mtinfo generated documentation
Recipes for constructable items in technic are generally not guessable, and are also not specifically documented here. You should use a craft guide mod to look up the recipes in-game. For the best possible guidance, use the unified_inventory mod, with which technic registers its specialised recipe types.

- No forceload hacks
- Additional HV machines (@h-v-smacker)
- LV, MV, and HV digiline cables (@S-S-X and @SwissalpS)
- Chests with digilines and more complete user interface
- Most of network code rewritten
- Many bugs that allowed cheating fixed
- CNC machine with pipeworks, upgrades and digiline support
- Better performance
- various others...
Compatibility
This mod is meant as a drop-in replacement for the upstream technic mod.

- /technic_clear_network_data removes all networks and network nodes from the cache
why moreores?
if this is "meant as a drop-in replacement" i don't think moreores is a good idea, i don't have it in my world, if i replace technic with technic_plus_beta... mithril will only spawn in new chunks breaking consistency. and it is not a required dependency in technic_plus either.
