Welcome to **Core Utilities**, the ultimate foundation mod for modpacks and Minecraft developers! This mod brings together the best features from utility-focused mods like [*Dark Utilities*](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/dark-utilities) and [*Extra Utilities*](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/extra-utilities), providing blocks, tools, and mechanics that make building, automation, and gameplay enhancements simple and fun.

### **Overview**

Core Utilities adds a wide variety of **blocks, items, and tools** that are essential for modpack creators and advanced players. Whether you want to automate tasks, manage mobs, or set up solar-powered systems, Core Utilities provides the building blocks for your ideas.

#### **Key Features**

* **Utility Blocks**: Automated plates, cables, storage blocks, and filters for items, fluids, and mobs.
* **Energy Systems**: Solar panels, generators, and energy conduits for powering your modded world.
* **Mob Utilities**: Mob filters, capture devices, and procedures for interacting with animals or hostile mobs.
