ForcePatch

ForcePatch is a lightweight integration mod that extends ForceCraft across popular tech, farming, and automation mods. It adds sensible cross‑mod recipes, tags, data models, and mixins so Force content fits naturally in larger modpacks—without changing ForceCraft’s core balance.

What changes for players

• Smoother progression: Force items participate in other mods’ machines and systems (mixers, squeezers, planters, data models, etc.).
• More automation paths: New processing routes (e.g., squeezing Force Gems, Bat Claw drops) integrate into existing factories.
• Better discoverability: Common tags ensure Force items work in generic recipes, filters, and storage logic.
• Minimal disruption: No heavy rebalances—just targeted glue so content works together.

Feature highlights

• Force Block storage (forcecraft:force_block) crafted from 9 Force Gems, tagged for compatibility and JEI visibility.
• Cross‑mod recipes where applicable.
