### Mod Initialization Lifecycle in Java

Source: https://context7.com/tungsten-w-74/cheapervoidminers/llms.txt

Sets up the main mod class using Forge's lifecycle events (preInit, init, postInit) for initialization, configuration loading, registration, and recipe handling. It specifies mod details, version, and dependencies.

```java
@Mod(
    modid = CheaperVoidMiners.MODID,
    version = Tags.VERSION,
    name = "CheaperVoidMiners",
    acceptedMinecraftVersions = "[1.7.10]",
    dependencies = "required-after:gregtech;"
)
public class CheaperVoidMiners {

    public static final String MODID = "cheapervoidminers";

    @SidedProxy(clientSide = "com.jdz.vmd.ClientProxy", serverSide = "com.jdz.vmd.CommonProxy")
    public static CommonProxy proxy;

    @Mod.EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
        // Load configuration file
        Config.synchronizeConfiguration(event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile());
    }

    @Mod.EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
        // Register all void miner machines
        ItemRegistry.run();
    }

    @Mod.EventHandler
    public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {
        // Register crafting recipes after other mods initialize
        RecipeLoader.run();
    }
}
```

### MTEVoidMinerEXBase Class Definition (Java)

Source: https://context7.com/tungsten-w-74/cheapervoidminers/llms.txt

Defines the abstract base class for all Void Miner EX machines, extending GregTech's MTEVoidMinerBase. It configures electricity consumption, processing time, allowed hatch types, and provides abstract methods for tier-specific implementations.

```java
public abstract class MTEVoidMinerEXBase extends MTEVoidMinerBase {

    public MTEVoidMinerEXBase(int aID, String aName, String aNameRegional, int multiplier) {
        super(aID, aName, aNameRegional, multiplier);
    }

    @Override
    protected void setElectricityStats() {
        // Power consumption based on tier voltage (LV=32EU, HV=512EU, IV=8192EU)
        this.mEUt = this.isPickingPipes ? 30 : Math.toIntExact(GTValues.V[this.getMinTier()]);
        this.mOutputItems = new ItemStack[0];
        this.mProgresstime = 0;
        this.mMaxProgresstime = 10;  // 0.5 seconds per operation
        this.mEfficiency = this.getCurrentEfficiency(null);
        this.mEfficiencyIncrease = 10000;
        this.mEUt = this.mEUt > 0 ? -this.mEUt : this.mEUt;  // Negative = consumption
    }

    @Override
    protected List<IHatchElement<? super MTEDrillerBase>> getAllowedHatches() {
        // Required multiblock components
        return ImmutableList.of(InputBus, OutputBus, Maintenance, Energy);
    }

    // Abstract methods to be implemented by each tier
    protected abstract ItemList getCasingBlockItem();
    protected abstract Materials getFrameMaterial();
    protected abstract int getCasingTextureIndex();
    protected abstract int getMinTier();
}
```

### Create Custom Void Miner Tier in Java

Source: https://context7.com/tungsten-w-74/cheapervoidminers/llms.txt

Extends MTEVoidMinerEXBase to define a new void miner tier with custom properties like tier multiplier, casing type, frame material, texture, and minimum tier. This allows for tailored void miner behavior within the game.

```java
public class VMLV extends MTEVoidMinerEXBase {

    public VMLV(int aID, String aName, String aNameRegional) {
        super(aID, aName, aNameRegional, 4);  // 4 = tier multiplier for output
    }

    public VMLV(String aName, int tier) {
        super(aName, tier);
    }

    @Override
    protected ItemList getCasingBlockItem() {
        return ItemList.Casing_SolidSteel;  // Structure casing type
    }

    @Override
    protected Materials getFrameMaterial() {
        return Materials.Steel;  // Frame material for structure
    }

    @Override
    protected int getCasingTextureIndex() {
        return 16;  // Texture ID for rendering
    }

    @Override
    protected int getMinTier() {
        return 1;  // LV = tier 1
    }

    @Override
    public IMetaTileEntity newMetaEntity(IGregTechTileEntity iGregTechTileEntity) {
        return new VMLV(this.mName, this.TIER_MULTIPLIER);
    }
}
```

### Configure MetaTileEntity IDs in Java

Source: https://context7.com/tungsten-w-74/cheapervoidminers/llms.txt

Defines an enum to manage unique MetaTileEntity IDs for custom machines like Void Miners. This ensures proper registration within the GregTech system and provides a clear way to reference these IDs.

```java
public enum MetaTileEntityIDs {

    VoidMinerEX1Controller(26763),  // LV Void Miner
    VoidMinerEX2Controller(26764),  // HV Void Miner
    VoidMinerEX3Controller(26765),  // IV Void Miner
    VoidMinerEX4Controller(26766);  // Reserved for future use

    public final int ID;

    MetaTileEntityIDs(int ID) {
        this.ID = ID;
    }
}

// Usage in registration
new MTEVoidMiners.VMLV(
    MetaTileEntityIDs.VoidMinerEX1Controller.ID,
    "VoidMinerEX1",
    "Void Miner EX I"
);
```

--------------------------------

### Gradle Build Configuration Properties

Source: https://context7.com/tungsten-w-74/cheapervoidminers/llms.txt

Defines project properties for a GTNH mod, including mod name, ID, group, Minecraft and Forge versions, and settings for enabling modern Java syntax and version token generation.

```properties
# gradle.properties
modName = CheaperVoidMiners
modId = cheapervoidminers
modGroup = com.jdz.vmd

# Minecraft and Forge versions
minecraftVersion = 1.7.10
forgeVersion = 10.13.4.1614

# Enable modern Java syntax while targeting JVM 8
enableModernJavaSyntax = true
enableGenericInjection = true

# Version token generation
generateGradleTokenClass = com.jdz.vmd.Tags
gradleTokenVersion = VERSION
```

--------------------------------

### Register LV Void Miner EX I (Java)

Source: https://context7.com/tungsten-w-74/cheapervoidminers/llms.txt

Registers the LV tier Void Miner EX I machine and its shapeless crafting recipe. This machine requires LV power and outputs 8 ores per second. It uses Solid Steel Casings and Steel Frames.

```java
public static ItemStack VoidMinerEX1;

public static void run() {
    // Register LV Void Miner with MetaTileEntity ID 26763
    ItemRegistry.VoidMinerEX1 = new MTEVoidMiners.VMLV(
        VoidMinerEX1Controller.ID,  // ID: 26763
        "VoidMinerEX1",             // Internal name
        "Void Miner EX I"           // Display name
    ).getStackForm(1L);
}

// Crafting recipe - shapeless conversion from LV Miner
GTModHandler.addShapelessCraftingRecipe(
    ItemRegistry.VoidMinerEX1,
    new Object[] { ItemList.Machine_LV_Miner.get(1) }
);
```

--------------------------------

### Gradle Dependencies Configuration

Source: https://context7.com/tungsten-w-74/cheapervoidminers/llms.txt

Specifies project dependencies for a GTNH mod development environment, including GTNHLib and GT5-Unofficial, using the 'api' configuration for shared dependencies.

```groovy
// dependencies.gradle
dependencies {
    api("com.github.GTNewHorizons:GTNHLib:0.5.11:dev")
    api("com.github.GTNewHorizons:GT5-Unofficial:5.09.50.25:dev")
}
```

--------------------------------

### Register HV Void Miner EX II (Java)

Source: https://context7.com/tungsten-w-74/cheapervoidminers/llms.txt

Registers the HV tier Void Miner EX II machine and its shapeless crafting recipe. This machine requires HV power and outputs 16 ores per second. It uses Clean Stainless Steel Casings and Stainless Steel Frames.

```java
public static ItemStack VoidMinerEX2;

public static void run() {
    // Register HV Void Miner with MetaTileEntity ID 26764
    ItemRegistry.VoidMinerEX2 = new MTEVoidMiners.VMHV(
        VoidMinerEX2Controller.ID,  // ID: 26764
        "VoidMinerEX2",             // Internal name
        "Void Miner EX II"          // Display name
    ).getStackForm(1L);
}

// Crafting recipe - shapeless conversion from HV Miner
GTModHandler.addShapelessCraftingRecipe(
    ItemRegistry.VoidMinerEX2,
    new Object[] { ItemList.Machine_HV_Miner.get(1) }
);
```

--------------------------------

### Register IV Void Miner EX III (Java)

Source: https://context7.com/tungsten-w-74/cheapervoidminers/llms.txt

Registers the IV tier Void Miner EX III machine and its shapeless crafting recipe. This machine requires IV power and outputs 32 ores per second. It uses Robust TungstenSteel Casings and TungstenSteel Frames.

```java
public static ItemStack VoidMinerEX3;

public static void run() {
    // Register IV Void Miner with MetaTileEntity ID 26765
    ItemRegistry.VoidMinerEX3 = new MTEVoidMiners.VMIV(
        VoidMinerEX3Controller.ID,  // ID: 26765
        "VoidMinerEX3",             // Internal name
        "Void Miner EX III"         // Display name
    ).getStackForm(1L);
}

// Crafting recipe - shapeless conversion from Ore Drilling Plant
GTModHandler.addShapelessCraftingRecipe(
    ItemRegistry.VoidMinerEX3,
    new Object[] { ItemList.OreDrill1.get(1) }
);
```
