Create: Water Wheel Bearing

The mod adds a bearing block. A player places it facing the direction the wheel should turn, builds the wheel design in front of it from solid blocks, and sets up a water channel so water crosses the wheel. Once water contacts the wheel it starts spinning and produces kinetic power. A second right-click on the bearing disassembles the wheel. Create is required, and the wheel plugs into Create's kinetic network like its own water wheels do.

Rotation depends on actual water contact. The mod scans the whole wheel plane for flowing fluid, so asymmetric channels, side feeds and diagonal flows are read correctly, and it works with lava as well as water. Wheel shape is not restricted to a single pattern: round, octagonal and square designs are measured from the real structure, and any solid block can serve as wheel material.

Wheels can be several blocks deep along the rotation axis. Stress capacity scales with both the wheel's area and its depth, so more blocks mean more power. Wearing Create goggles on the bearing shows the full wheel dimensions, water contact status, current RPM, and stress output. The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source.
