Ars Mekanica
ModrinthBridges Ars Nouveau and Mekanism for tighter cross-mod integration. Currently adds Mekanism sawmill support for archwood, with more to come.
Ars Mekanica
A compatibility addon that bridges Ars Nouveau and Mekanism, letting their
content work better together. This is the first step, with more integrations planned
for future versions.
Right now it fills an obvious gap: Ars Nouveau's archwood comes with a full set of
wooden items, but Mekanism ships no sawmill recipes for it - so archwood logs are a
dead end in a Mekanism setup. Ars Mekanica adds the missing Precision Sawmill
recipes so archwood behaves exactly like vanilla wood.
What it adds
Precision Sawmill recipes for archwood, mirroring Mekanism's vanilla wood ratios:
- Archwood logs / wood / stripped variants → archwood planks (+ sawdust)
- Archwood doors, trapdoors, fences, fence gates, pressure plates, buttons, slabs,
stairs, signs, hanging signs, boats and chests → archwood planks
Requirements
Both Ars Nouveau and Mekanism must be installed — Ars Mekanica does nothing
on its own.

Prefer not to add another mod? A standalone datapack build is also available.
Planned
More cross-mod integration between Ars Nouveau and Mekanism may come in future
versions. Suggestions are welcome on the issue tracker.
