Battery Box

Battery Box is a block that distributes power from a battery to the devices connected to it. Cables and pipes can be hooked up to its side, and the amount of energy leaving the battery is limited by the battery's own maximum transfer speed, so a box never pushes more power than the battery allows. Several Battery boxes can be chained together, and every box passes power only outward, away from the battery it is linked to.

The block is useful where power demand briefly exceeds what generators can supply, since a battery holds the surplus and feeds it back when needed. Its face shows the charge level both through color and through light, and a higher charge makes the light brighter. Battery Box can also charge items that hold energy and power the devices connected to them. Its own code and assets are credited to canitzp, Jadan1213 and Idea.

Battery Box is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. It is for Forge and NeoForge across six game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are public.
