Incubator — Minecraft block

Incubator

The Incubator is a 1×2 LV-tier (low voltage, up to 32 EU/tick) multiblock that mutates items by uranium irradiation and EU — duplicating, transforming, or creating new materials.

Description

The Incubator is a 1×2 multiblock from Ala Industrial that mutates items by uranium irradiation and EU: it duplicates (1 → 2), transforms (A → B), or creates entirely new mod materials. It runs on the LV tier (low voltage, up to 32 EU/tick) and draws 8 EU/tick while working — four times the standard machine rate — into an 8000 EU buffer. A mutation chip in a dedicated slot selects the mode, and one uranium_ingot supplies 3 irradiation charges before burning out into depleted_uranium in the ash slot.
Each mutation kind has its own cost and success chance: transform (0.75, 15 s, 2400 EU), duplicate (0.45, 25 s, 4000 EU), and create (0.25, 50 s, 8000 EU). On success a rarity grade is rolled — Common 70 %, Rare 20 %, Epic 8 %, Legendary 2 % — and 5 % of failed attempts leave irradiated_slag. The base block is crafted from 3 glass, 2 uranium plates, 1 machine casing, 1 electronic circuit, and 2 iron plates, for Minecraft 26.2 (Java Edition) on Fabric or NeoForge.

Java Edition Guide

How to use an Incubator in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Place the mechanical base

    Set the Incubator base on a solid block where you can reach both halves. It is a 1×2 multiblock, so leave the space directly above it free.

  2. 2

    Form the glass dome

    Put any glass block (the c:glass tag) directly on top of the base. It auto-converts into the dome, and stained glass tints the dome's color.

  3. 3

    Insert a mutation chip

    Place a mutation chip (duplicate, transform, or create) in the top-left chip slot. The chip sets the mode and is never consumed; without it the Incubator will not run.

  4. 4

    Add uranium fuel and an input item

    Drop one uranium_ingot into the fuel slot for 3 irradiation charges, then place the item to mutate in the input slot.

  5. 5

    Supply LV EU

    Connect the base to an LV energy grid (up to 32 EU/tick). The Incubator draws 8 EU/tick while a cycle runs and rolls the outcome on the final tick.

Important

The result is decided only at the end of the cycle — pulling the input mid-operation does not cancel it, and breaking the multiblock loses the uranium charge.

Frequently asked questions

Can you craft an Incubator?

Yes. The shaped recipe is 3 glass, 2 uranium plates, 1 machine casing, 1 electronic circuit, and 2 iron plates, yielding one Incubator.

What powers the Incubator?

It runs on LV EU at up to 32 EU/tick and draws 8 EU/tick while working, plus one uranium_ingot as irradiation fuel that grants 3 charges before becoming depleted_uranium.

What do the three mutation chips do?

Each chip sets a mode: duplicate (1 → 2), transform (A → B), or create a new mod material. The chip is never consumed and cannot be pulled out by automation.

Is a mutation always successful?

No. Success chances are 0.75 for transform, 0.45 for duplicate, and 0.25 for create. On success a rarity grade is rolled, and 5 % of failed attempts leave irradiated_slag.

Does the Incubator work on Bedrock Edition?

No. Ala Industrial is a Java Edition 26.2 mod for Fabric and NeoForge only; there is no Bedrock version.
