Compatibility

Every integration is optional, and only active when the other mod is installed.

JEI and EMI

Once applied, alternatives are hidden from the item list, so players only see the kept items. Recipes shown are the rewritten ones.

Almost Unified

Almost Unified unifies by default. With it installed, Material Nexus only acts in the domains you give it, so the two never do the same job twice:

"almost_unified": { "tags": "mnx", "output_rewrite": "mnx", "recipe_disable": "mnx", "viewer_hiding": "au" }

Domain
tags	removing alternatives from the convention tags
output_rewrite	rewriting recipes to the kept item
recipe_disable	disabling recipes that became duplicates
viewer_hiding	hiding alternatives in JEI or EMI

A domain not listed is left to Almost Unified, and Preview says so. Conversion of items in the world, conversion recipes, process rules and created items are not Almost Unified domains and stay with Material Nexus. Note that Almost Unified unifies recipe outputs as the game loads, so Material Nexus finds fewer recipes to rewrite even in domains given to it.

KubeJS

Scripts get a read-only MaterialNexus binding:

Call	Answer
MaterialNexus.kept(item)	the item kept in place of item, or item itself
MaterialNexus.isAlternative(item)	whether item is converted to another one
MaterialNexus.conversions()	every alternative id and its kept id
MaterialNexus.canonical(material, form)	the kept item id, or null
MaterialNexus.alternatives(material, form)	the other items of that form

The first three follow the applied pack and are right inside recipe events; the last two follow the settings as resolved at the last reload.

ServerEvents.recipes(event => {
  event.shapeless(MaterialNexus.kept('thermal:tin_ingot'), ['9x #c:nuggets/tin'])
})

Scripts have the last word. KubeJS edits recipes and tags after datapacks, Material Nexus's included: a script that changes a recipe applies on top of what Material Nexus generated. A recipe created by a script has no file to rewrite and is listed as "not handled yet". A script matching an alternative by item id stops matching once that recipe is rewritten; match by tag, or use MaterialNexus.kept.

What your scripts decided is read. When the game loads, Material Nexus compares the tags your data files define with the tags after scripts, and, with KubeJS, reads which recipes the scripts replaced, removed or created. It works out which item your scripts keep for each form and offers it as a choice, never applies it on its own, and Preview warns when it would keep another item. See Modpacks and Multiplayer.

Recipe formats

Recipes are rewritten for the recipe types a format describes. Shipped formats:

Mod
Minecraft	crafting, smelting, blasting, smoking, campfire, stonecutting, smithing
Create	every processing type
Create Crafts & Additions, Create: New Age, Create Metallurgy	their machines
Mekanism	crushing, enriching, sawing, injecting, combining, infusing, purifying, crystallizing, compressing, reaction...
Immersive Engineering, Immersive Petroleum	their machines
Modern Industrialization	its machines
Oritech, Occultism, Silent Gear, Ex Deorum, Extreme Reactors	their machines

Any other mod: add a format (Datapack Guide). Its items are still unified through tags and in the world in the meantime.

Forms and tags

• Modern Industrialization's untagged forms (double ingots, large and curved plates, bolts, rings, blades, rotors, drill heads, wires, fine wires), Oritech's small dusts and Realistic Minerals' ores are found by shipped name patterns.
• Coal and charcoal are tagged as gems (c:gems/coal, c:gems/charcoal), as vanilla leaves them untagged.
