[IU] Industrial Upgrade

Industrial Upgrade is a comprehensive technology mod that completely transforms survival in Minecraft. It covers the entire development path — from simple tools and initial automation to giant factories and complex infrastructure. The mod significantly increases the complexity and depth of gameplay, extending your survival adventure and rewarding careful planning.

Main Features

Ore Generation System

The mod includes its own ore generation system, covering both custom and vanilla resources that are arranged in veins. Each vein contains specific ores with defined spawn chances. Upon first entering the world, the player receives a special tablet — the "Ore Scanner" — which can be used to detect nearby deposits.

Technological Eras

Development progresses through three main eras:

• Primitive
• Steam
• Electric

With subsequent improvement levels:

• Basic
• Improved
• Advanced
• Perfect
• Photonic

Energy Systems

The mod offers various energy types:

• Coal Industry
• Redstone Industry
• Oil Industry (gasoline, diesel)
• Steam Industry (steam turbines, generators)
• Reactor Industry (liquid, gas, graphite, high-temperature reactors)
• Solar Industry (mini panels, solar panels)
• Wind Industry
• Water Industry
• Thermal Industry
• Gas Power

Space Expansion

The mod adds space, implemented as an exploration system where you can create colonies, manage them, and develop population to extract various ores and liquids.

Agriculture and Beekeeping

Added over 80 different crops that can interact with each other and with bees. This allows obtaining resources through plant cultivation. Crops can be improved by crossbreeding two or more species or using genetic technologies to create perfect variants.

Enhanced Bees

The mod adds 5 types of bees tied to specific biomes. Their mechanics differ significantly from vanilla. Bees are now divided into 4 types: gatherers, builders, healers, and defenders — each performing its unique role. Over time, they can mutate and accelerate crop growth. With prolonged growth acceleration, bees can produce additional loot besides honey and royal jelly.

Armor and Equipment

Offers a wide selection of armor — from basic to energy-powered (nano-spectral). You can fly using a jetpack and charge items through an energy backpack. Armor can also protect against volcanic gases and radioactivity.

Required Add-ons

• Power Utilities — energy conversion
• Simply Quarry — automated quarries
• Quantum Generators — quantum energy generation

The mod positions itself as the spiritual successor of IndustrialCraft² and may only resemble it in basic mechanics common to all technology mods.
