Create: Solarpunk
Create: Solarpunk brings solar power, thermal storage and biofuel production into the Create ecosystem, with a multiblock tower that concentrates sunlight into molten salt.
What it does
Solar panels, a solar heater, biofuel and thermal energy each join the Create machinery as separate parts of one fuel chain, so solar heat feeds the production of fuels and power. Players build the chain from the core fuel and solar heat blocks outward. The solar output scales with the season when the Serene Seasons addon is present, rising in summer and falling in winter, and that effect can be turned off in the config. A new material turns up in underground deposits in the desert, badlands and savanna.
Solar Power Tower is a multiblock that players assemble from stacked tower blocks placed with its item. Solar Mirrors set on the ground around it track the sun and reflect light toward the tower, and they link automatically when they have a clear view of the sky. The tower works only in direct sunlight and pauses during rain and thunderstorms, and over-mirroring shuts it down.
The mod requires Create and GeckoLib. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Solar panels and heat
Solar panels and a solar heater supply energy and heat to the rest of the machinery.
Biofuel and thermal energy
Biofuel production and thermal storage let players turn solar heat into fuel and keep it for later use.
Solar Power Tower
A stacked multiblock tower that accepts molten salt output, scaled up by surrounding it with a field of Solar Mirrors.
Mirror tracking
Once linked, each mirror turns and tilts to follow the sun and reflect light toward the tower, with a search radius that grows with the tower's height and is capped at 24 blocks by default.
Mirror efficiency curve
Efficiency rises linearly from 0 mirrors to an optimal count, then falls back to 0% at twice that count.
