Ex Nihilo Omnia

Ex Nihilo Omnia represents a reboot of the famous mod for Skyblock mode in Minecraft version 1.10.2. This mod preserves all the key mechanics of its predecessor, offering players a complete set of tools for survival under limited resource conditions.

Main Tools and Mechanics

Hammer

The hammer becomes your faithful companion in material processing. With it, you can turn cobblestone into gravel, gravel into sand, and sand into dust. Don't need sandstone? Just break it back into sand with the hammer!

The hammer is especially useful in ore processing. After collecting ore fragments from gravel, you can combine them into ore gravel, then break them into crushed ore and ore dust. Each processing stage increases your final resource yield.

Crafting a hammer is simple - place wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamond on a handle.

Crooks

Crooks are multifunctional tools that help you manage mobs and collect resources. They allow you to pull animals toward you, push enemies away, and significantly increase the chance of getting saplings and apples when breaking leaves.

Silkworms

Using a crook to collect leaves, you might discover silkworms. These little creatures can infect trees, turning leaves into a source of silk. The whiter the leaves become, the more silk you'll get.

Porcelain and Related Items

Burning sticks gives you ash, which contains nutrients for plants. Mixing ash with clay and bonemeal creates porcelain clay - an incredibly useful material.

From porcelain clay, you can create buckets that become fully functional liquid containers after firing in a furnace.

Crucible

Collecting enough porcelain, you can create a large crucible. After firing, it becomes a functional device for melting materials.

Placing a heat source under the crucible (from torch to lava), you can melt various materials. The quality of the heat source affects the melting speed.

Sieves

Sieves are the key tool for obtaining resources in Skyblock. You can craft a sieve from any type of wood and add a mesh to it.

Two types of meshes are available - silk and wooden, differing in durability.

The sifting process is simple: place material in the sieve and start shaking.

What can be found when sifting:

Dirt: Stones, wheat seeds, melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, beetroot seeds, carrot seeds, potato seeds, sugarcane seeds, various types of tree saplings

Gravel: Flint, coal, lapis lazuli, diamonds, broken ores

Sand: Cocoa beans, cactus seeds, spores, crushed ores

Soul Sand: Quartz, nether wart, ghast tear

Nether Gravel: Broken nether ores

Sifter

To automate the sifting process, you can create a sifter. Different materials for the sifter head provide different working speeds.

Barrels

Barrels can be crafted from various materials and perform many functions.

Barrel recipes:

Composting: Place organic materials in a barrel and over time get dirt.

Rainwater collection: Barrels can collect rainwater.

Clay creation: Mix dust with rainwater in a barrel to get clay.

Netherrack and Endstone: In a barrel with lava, you can create netherrack or endstone by adding redstone or glowstone respectively.

Witchwater: Add spores to a barrel of water to create witchwater - a substance with dangerous properties.

Slimes: Mix milk with water in a barrel to grow a slime.

Dolls: From porcelain and gems, you can create dolls with special properties.

Configuration

The mod offers extensive customization options. You can change almost all aspects of the mod through configuration files. An option for sieve interaction with hoppers and pipes is available.

Using JSON, you can create your own recipes for composting, hammer processing, sifting, melting, and add heat sources for the crucible. In-game, you can edit your recipes and reload them with the command "/enoreg reload".

World Generation

Ex Nihilo Omnia allows you to configure world generation in the style of the original Skyblock 2.1 map, including a hardcore version with a floating piece of land and a tree, as well as an intermediate version without grass. You can choose a biome for the entire world or leave biome diversity.

Compatibility

The mod automatically detects most ores from other mods. Crooks and hammers are compatible with VeinMiner. Barrels, sieves, crucibles, and infected leaves work with WAILA. All added ores function in the Tinkers' Construct smeltery. Hammer and sieve recipes are displayed in JEI.

Ore Management

In the "config/EnNihiloOmnia/registries/ore" folder, there are files for ore management:

• blacklist.txt - list of ignored ores
• whitelist.txt - list of ores mandatory for addition
• metadatas.json - ore metadata management
• example.json - example of adding new ores

Format for adding new ores:

{
  "entries": [ //a list of ores
    {
      "name": "dumbore", //the name of the ore
      "color": "F2AB7C", //a hex color for display
      "rarity": 30, //chance of dropping from a sieve out of 100
      "hasGravel": true, //whether it has a gravel variant
      "hasNether": false, //whether it has a nether variant
      "hasEnd": false, //whether it has an end variant
      "ingot": "minecraft:enderpearl", //what the ore smelts into
      "oreDictNames": [ //list of names for registration in the ore dictionary
        "ingotHardIron"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
