General Mechanics is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that brings realistic technology to the game. Rather than inventing fictional materials and machines, it models real science — the periodic table, real chemistry, and real electronics — and expresses them as crafting systems, machines, and processes you can use in your world.

​
Philosophy

Most technology mods invent their own materials and progression trees. General Mechanics takes a different approach: every element, compound, and process is grounded in actual science. The periodic table is the starting point. Chemistry follows real reactions. Electronics follow real circuit principles. The goal is a mod where understanding the real world gives you a genuine advantage.
