Curseforge Description
Criss Cross is meant to be a hold-over mod for 1.8.x while we wait for the popular tech / machine mods to update!

All Machines have JEI Integration for Recipes

Because of the nature of how much there is in Criss Cross to explain, I've decided to make Dev Diaries explaining what is new and showing off this content first-hand. Reading a very long tutorial is your other option, I doubt you'd prefer that, and I'd certainly rather not write it!
