History and credits#
Ex Nihilo Reborn is an unofficial continuation. It stands on the work of everyone below:
- Ex Nihilo by Erasmus_Crowley, the original mod, last updated for Minecraft 1.7.10.
- Ex Nihilo Adscensio by MikeLydeamore, for 1.10.2.
- Ex Nihilo: Creatio by BloodWorkXGaming, for 1.12.2, after an initial port by Jacky1356400.

Fabricae Ex Nihilo's textures are by Wolforce and LEWeee, and the silkworm, crook, hammer and mesh textures come from Ex Nihilo: Creatio. Reborn's new items have new textures made for this mod. Reborn is MIT licensed like Fabricae Ex Nihilo, and the jar ships the MIT licence text with every copyright line: MikeLydeamore, Jacky1356400, BloodWorkXGaming, SirLyle, Wolforce, LEWeee and LordDeatHunter. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the authors of Ex Nihilo, Creatio, Sequentia or Ex Deorum.
How Reborn differs#
- Minecraft version. Rebuilt for Minecraft 26.3 on Fabric.
- New. The Sky Island world type, auto sieves, auto hammers and cobblestone generators in five tiers, compressed blocks in ten tiers and the sledgehammer, eight fruit trees, the Rustler and scarecrow, the wandering trader rework and trader's bell, living reefs and brine fishing, the clay bucket, the watering can, the guide book and sieve drops on the tooltip.
- Changed. Every sieve drop table was rewritten, the mesh ladder is string, flint, iron, gold, diamond, netherite, sieve and hammer inputs go by tags, the big optional parts are built-in data packs, and the advancement tree gained steps for the new items.
- Removed. Dolls, crooks other than wooden and bone, the copper and emerald meshes, silt, the blood fluid, leaf sifting and waterlogged sieve tables.
- Separate mod. Reborn has its own mod id, so it is not a drop-in replacement and Fabricae Ex Nihilo worlds do not carry over.
