Create: New Age / Alex's Caves Integration

Overview and compatibility notes Create: New Age / Alex's Caves Integration is a Forge mod that bridges two thematically similar mods so their overlapping features interact more consistently. It targets five discrete Minecraft releases: 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, and 1.20.4. The mod must be installed on both the client and the server. It's licensed under the MIT License and falls under the Game Mechanics and Technology categories. The only supported mod loader is Forge; no Fabric, NeoForge, or Quilt builds are provided. The mod depends on both Create: New Age and Alex's Caves being present to function. ## Reactor and radiation changes When Create: New Age's nuclear reactor operates, it now applies the irradiated effect defined by Alex's Caves. This ties the reactor's hazard profile directly to the same status effect players encounter inside radioactive cave biomes. The reactor also accepts uranium rods as a fuel option. According to the repository, uranium rods allow the reactor to run three times longer than thorium rods. The uranium rod recipe has been replaced with a sequenced crafting chain that mirrors the one used for nuclear fuel. An intermediate item called the Incomplete Uranium Rod appears in that chain and is radioactive while held in the player's inventory. ## Magnetic cave resources Recipes for redstone magnets and netherite magnets have been changed to require materials gathered from magnetic caves. The author notes this works best with monkey mode enabled in Alex's Caves. The adjustment shifts magnet progression toward exploring those cave biomes rather than relying on vanilla ingredients. ## Scope and future The author describes the current feature set as sufficient for a personal modpack and states that nothing else is planned at the moment. Configurability and further integrations are mentioned as possibilities but aren't promised.
