About
HEXCraft is a technology and decoration mod inspired by XyCraft. The idea was to bring back similar ideas of block design (we loved it just as much as you did), while still coming up with new ideas and new functionalities. We want to keep the mod within the technology territory, so sadly, we won't be adding stuff like popcorn and other unrelated features.
The mod is still in heavy development, but you are more than welcome to try it! Any help discovering bugs is always welcome!
Features So Far
- Relatively difficult and expensive recipes and scarcity of ore make this a more challenging mod to play. As you will see, this is nothing like XyCraft, both in mechanics, block types and gameplay.
- All blocks and mechanics are based on a lore that we made and we stick to it very strictly.
- Ore world generation featuring glow-in-dark ores and crystal monoliths that use a unique spawning algorithm. This means no pockets of air!
- Unique energy transfer system that uses special HEX energy. Cables are not tile entities and this reduces server strain to a minimum.
- Energy Pylons which use lasers to transport energy within the energy network. They can be toggled with Redstone to use them as switches or maybe even make laser shows.
- Energy conversion system using a multiblock structure that lets you convert between any of the following energy types: HEX, RF, EU (and maybe more in future).
- Multiblock fluid tanks that are made out of HEXCraft blocks. Designed with performance in mind, no checking of the structure is done at all until a block is broken.
- A Hexorium Furnace for smelting ores quicker than with normal furnaces.
- A machine called Crystal Separator that can process Hexorium ore for higher crystal yield, but can also process other mod ores (provided they are gems).
- Personal Teleportation Pad which lets players teleport between two locations.
- A huge variety of unique decorative blocks, including glowing glass, doors, lamps, buttons, switches, pressure plates, etc. featuring 18 different colors (one being a slowly changing rainbow).
- Easy color changing of already placed blocks using a Molecular Transposer tool.
- Reinforcable decorative blocks to Obsidian hardness.
- Compatibility with a wide variety of mods, including Colored Light for making our lamps glow in different colors.
- A Sound Projector block, serving as a customizable sound source.
- Unique multiblock chunk loading system.

Would be nice if there will be something like "HexCraft white edition". The base color of things(like doors, windows) is black. Would be nice to see a white versions of such blocks!
That Sound Projector block is amazing. I see you have no plans to port the mod because of lighting/glow stuff, but could you port the Sound Projector to 1.12.2 as a standalone thing?

Man, those "glow in the dark textures" especially with the lasers...
You by any chance checked out ProjectX 2? It got the "glow in the dark" textures working in 1.12.2 however there isn't any cables or those lasers in that mod currently, as far as I know.
Unless... you already looked at it, I dunno.

Could there be an option to convert XyCraft items on startup? I want to use this to replace it, but have XyCraft items in my world. I need this since XyCraft and ExtraUtils cannot be together on a server.
I don't care about the advanced machines being converted since I have not made any of those yet. Just basic things like the ores in the world and my crystals would be good.

I love to play the card game. This mod it's still a thing?
In reply to Dreamlash:
Hate to be that guy but is this still being worked on ? Now that 1.12 is getting settled would be a shame to leave that mod behind.
