{..} = for a lack of a better name

Hello everyone. For and Idea ive been thinking on for quite so time now, ive finally been able to conclude the first part of the mod idea. This idea is obviously open to anyone.

Similar to TE3, IC2, EnderIO, This mod fuel or "Power source" comes some kind of "Purified Essence" which powers ALL machines in this mod. Lets go down the brand ive made as far as mod progression:

You start of in the world, the first thing your going to need to achieve in order to get somewhere is to make a Decayer, Decayers recipe will require the player to have been in the nether and have diamonds already.

Decayer -

Ages the block down to 3 components. These 3 objects are the Lambent essence, a Decayed Material(Ex: Decayed Iron, Gold, Copper etc.) and Aged stone.

Once you obtain these, your place these items in a Purifier.

Purifier -

Accepts any decayed item/block, Any variation of Lambent essence. the Output will result in; IF decayed ingot, will return 2 ingots, OTHER; will return a purified form of itself including purified essence.

This is a basic setup for the mod and the base to get started. These machines require Essence in order to get powered. for a lack of a better name {Raw Essence} is tier 1 in the Powered Essence class. This essence can be achieved by placing any "Rock Based Material" into a {Generator}

{Generator} -

This machine has the ability to rip the essence out of every atom in the rock. leaving nothing behind but the form of Raw Liquid Essence. The Generator will try to pass this liquid essence into any adjacent tank or machine that can accept liquid essence. More Valuable Rocks such as "Diamond Ore" will produce more Raw Liquid essence where as cobblestone will produce the least. How much Buckets will it produce hasnt been calculated yet.

Power tiers:
Since this mod has multiple power tiers. Lets go through some of them and how to get these.

The first tier was mentioned above, {Raw Liquid Essence} - This is the base tier for all other power tiers and is require in LARGE amounts to obtain much more powerful sources of power. A generator is 1 out of many planned machines that will be able to produce this Liquid essence.

{Condensed Essence} - This Essence is created by a Essence condenser, These machines are easy to maintain and require very little Raw Liquid essence to power. After kick starting it for a few minutes, it will be able to produce enough power to run itself and more.This machine Condenses Liquid essence into a form in which can travel through Channels{similar to Conduits or pipes} wheres as Raw Liquid Essence is to thick and requires Players to transport. This essence can power any Tier 1&2 Machine with ease where as Tier 3 & 4 machines require a much more powerful Essence to use.

{Purified Essence} -

This essence is the most reliable but extremely deadly. Fusion Matrix is required for production. This essence requires Sturdy Channels in order to pass the Essence through, When the channels are active, stay clear from the channels as Purified essence cleanses the impure, Since Everything in the world of minecraft is impure, it will try and make its surroundings pure, turning dirt to grass, cobble to stone, STEVE to dust. Without a purity suit, its nearly impossible to work in such environments.
This essence can power Tier 3 & most of tier 4 machines, including tiers below.

{Effluvium Essence}

or what the ancients called, Magic of the Gods - is the Ultimate power source for this mod. This source can power ANY machine tier. This Essence is made in a {Vacuum sealed like chamber}.
the chamber requires Purified Essence to power it but requires Large amounts of power. These machines, when placing ANY Item or Block into its internal buffer, it will Break Items down and condense down into rubble which can be used for other machines or items. as it breaks stuff down it rips Raw Liquid Essence from them and stores it into an internal tank. From there it starts Draining huge amounts of Purified essence to supply its needs. once it has enough Raw Liquid Essence, it starts the Condensing and bursting process. It Condenses Raw essence into a sphere, then Releasing air into the chamber to cause the Essence to expand and burst. every burst will create 5mB of Effluvium Essence. from where you added the Output valve at is where the output will be for the Essence. This essence can ONLY be transported by Pylons.

Pylons -

Pylons carry Effluvium Wirelessly through the world of minecraft. Only the highest level of pylon can travel up to 40 blocks radius from the pylon. Using some kind of wrench, you can Shift right click one of these pylons and then right click multiple machines nearby its range radius to link them all to it, then by Shift right clicking on the pylon again to save the machines to the pylon.

This is all the Base info I have brainstormed. The project is going to be a long shot, but taking small steps at a time will eventually lead to the end.

What do you guys think about the mod? Good Idea or not really? Your opinions really mean alot to me.
What would you guys like to see in this mod? Any suggestions?
Im relatively new to coding, Ive made some small mods for me to play will and enjoy. Im attempting to take a bigger step. If you would like to help, that would be great. Currently its

WAY more features are expect of this mod. but as for now, this is the base. More magic will be added to mix in the magic aspect of the mod.
