Compatibility
NeroAgriculture's engineered food and alien produce contribute to the common c:foods item tag.
NeroColonies includes that tag in its food supply, so either produce can supply a colony when both mods
are installed. The colony counts each item as one ration; player-specific food effects do not apply to
colony stock. The tag also works without NeroColonies and does not replace other mods' entries.
NeroCreatures' Stalker Hide and Stalker Sinew have optional Colonite definitions. Their seeds require the corresponding physical drop and research, and convert 20 fragments per item. They are omitted when the items are absent. Technical drops, boss rewards and processed components are not included in these curated definitions.
NeroAgriculture hard-depends on Neroland Core alone. Every other integration is optional and dormant
until the other mod is present — the mod runs fully standalone with nothing registered. External mods
interoperate only through Core capabilities, c: common tags, and the provider seams in
CompatContracts — no third-party classes appear anywhere in common/ except the compile-only
recipe-viewer plugins under compat/jei and compat/emi, which load only when that viewer is installed.
Integration routes
| Mod | Route | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Neroland Core | Hard dependency (registration, machines, NF energy, upgrades, side config, gates, fluids) | Live |
| Nerospace | EnvironmentApi (planet atmosphere) + OxygenApi (greenhouse oxygen), via its public API as an optional compile-only dependency; planet visits via dimension identity plus a join-time backfill from its NerospaceVisits API | Live — see Nerospace integration |
| Nerospace | CycleApi (space weather), terraforming overlay hand-off | Not wired — Nerospace exposes no public cycle query, and its overlay API needs a server-installed claim policy and an acting player |
| Nerotech / NeroPower | AgricultureApi.BIOFUEL consumer seam + c: biofuel fluid/item tags | Contract-ready; live when a consumer registers |
| Energized Power | Core Forge-Energy bridge + c: material/biofuel tags | Live (targets 26.1+/26.2) |
| Create | Generic item/fluid I/O via Core side config + c: tags (no Create classes) | Dormant until Create ports to 26.1+ |
| AE2 | Component-backed seed/fragment variants via generic item handlers | Dormant until AE2 ports to 26.1+ |
| Mekanism | Ore discovery via c:ores/*, material/biofuel tags | Dormant until Mekanism ports to 26.1+ |
| Ad Astra | Dimension environment via DimensionEnvironments datapack + EnvironmentApi | Dormant until Ad Astra ports to 26.1+ |
| NeroLogistics | Moves component-backed items via generic WorldlyContainer/side config | Contract-ready |
| NeroColonies | AgricultureApi.DietProvider (varied-diet metadata) | Contract-ready |
| NeroEconomy | Item tags #neroagriculture:fragments, #neroagriculture:fertilisers, #neroagriculture:biofuels (plus the c: tags) for tag-keyed commodity data; no code link. AgricultureApi.PremiumGoodsProvider is deprecated | Data-only |
Any Core listener (NeroQuests custom_event, NeroEvents) | Core ThresholdEvents channels neroagriculture:tower_output (see Crop Towers) and neroagriculture:terraform_stage (see Terraforming); record gates neroagriculture:first_research, first_harvest, greenhouse_keeper, tower_grower | Live |
| NeroQuests | Bundled quest pack, chapter neroagriculture:field_ledger (data only, dormant without NeroQuests); see NeroQuests integration. AgricultureApi.ObjectiveProvider and the terraforming/pollination events remain available | Live (data) |
| NeroCreatures | AgricultureApi.DroneAssistanceProvider | Contract-ready |
| NeroEvents | CycleApi.Provider, terraforming events | Contract-ready |
| JEI / EMI | Native recipe-viewer plugins for the six fabrication types; see Recipe viewers | Live (EMI via the community 26.x port) |
For integrators
za.co.neroland.neroagriculture.compat.CompatContracts is the single entry point: it exposes
register*/remove* helpers for every seam plus hasBiofuelConsumer(), externalCycle(...) and
environmentOrDefault(...). Registering is safe at any time; with nothing registered the mod uses its local
defaults (habitable environment, identity cycle, no external power/oxygen consumers).
Honest limitations
Live, in-game verification of the external mods above (Create, AE2, Mekanism, Ad Astra) cannot be performed until those mods publish MC 26.1+ builds — until then their routes are exercised only by the mod's own contract tests and the generic Core/tag mechanisms, and are accurately labelled dormant rather than claimed as working. Live cross-mod runtime for the Nero siblings is consolidated into the Stage 18 matrix.
