Ender IO: Machines, Conduits, and Getting Started

Ender IO is a full-featured tech mod covering machines, power, and its signature compact conduits. This guide covers the basics.

A complete tech mod

Ender IO bundles a whole tech progression into one mod: machines for processing, energy generation and storage, armor, tools, weapons, enchantments and decorative blocks. Rather than specializing, it aims to cover the common needs of a modded base in a single, cohesive package.

Conduits

Ender IO's standout feature is its conduits — thin transport lines that carry resources, and crucially, multiple conduit types can share the same block space. The conduit types include Item, Fluid, Energy and Redstone, plus integrations that carry Applied Energistics 2 ME, Refined Storage and Mekanism Chemicals across the same tidy network. This keeps cabling compact where other mods sprawl.

Getting started

Set up basic machines and an energy source, then run conduits to link everything — power to machines, items between inventories — bundling conduit types together to save space. Because Ender IO is being rewritten for the latest versions, some features are still being ported, but its core machines, conduits and gear give a strong all-in-one tech foundation.
