Slimefun: Technical Mastery Guide
Harness the power of industrialization. Slimefun is a deep, technical modpack-style plugin integrated directly into our survival world.
Quick Start Checklist
Craft a Handbook (Book + Workbench) to access the research menu.
Research the Basic Machines category first (requires 5 XP levels).
Build your first item production multi-block (e.g., Ore Crusher).
Start researching Energy Generation methods.
Progression Tracks
Slimefun progression is linear but allows for specialization. Focus on Industrialization (Machines/Energy) or Utility (Tools/Armor).
Research & Unlocking (XP Levels)
Unlocking new technologies requires spending accumulated XP levels. Higher tiers demand more levels and rare vanilla resources.
Tip: Use a cactus farm for easy XP generation to fuel your research early on!
Multiblock Structures
Multiblocks are stationary structures that require precise placement of vanilla blocks to function, often acting as processors or factories.
- Must be built exactly to spec.
- Requires a specific 'Slimefun Block' (e.g., Wither Skeleton Head).
Energy & Power Grid
Energy units (J/t) power machines. Start with Coal Generators and quickly move to Solar Panels or Reactors for sustained power.
Cables (Copper/Aluminum) are essential for transferring power to your industrial district.
Tools/Armor/Mobility & Addon Highlights
Advanced Tools
From Jetpacks to Grappling Hooks, Slimefun offers high-tier alternatives to vanilla tools for enhanced mobility and utility.
Addon Highlights
We feature addons like (Placeholder Addon List) for expanded engineering capabilities.
Favorite Recipes
Ore Crusher
Doubles ore yield from standard mining. A critical early-game machine.
Coal Generator
The standard entry point for energy generation, fueled by coal or charcoal.
Solar Panel (Basic)
Provides slow, reliable, free power during the day. Essential for automation.
FAQ
Q: Can I automate the machines? A: Yes, basic vanilla hoppers and Slimefun item transport systems integrate perfectly.
Q: What if I lose my handbook? A: Craft a new one; your research progress is tied to your player data.
