Electricitymeters
by antonstiko
Electricitymeters lets a Forge setup charge players for energy drawn from a tank, using emerald pieces as the payment method.
What it does
Electricitymeters is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that meters energy use and collects payment for it. An electricity meter counts the energy that passes through it, and the amount owed is set by a price filter that the builder configures. Payment goes into a chest the player fills, and the meter sends a clock signal once the energy has been transferred.
The meter works with an energy tank and a filter block placed on top of it, and the tank input and energy output sit where pipes or cables connect. The author notes that energy tanks and transportation mods like Create are needed to move the energy, so the mod is meant for setups that already carry power across a base or a network.
Electricitymeters is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The latest file is 1.1.0, released 2024-12-15 along with the first release.
Key features
Energy metering
The meter counts the energy used through it, so each transfer can be measured before payment is taken.
Emerald piece payments
Price filters accept emerald pieces in several forms, including single, stacked and nine-piece grids.
Filter block pricing
A filter block set on top of the tank holds the price, so the cost per unit of energy is fixed in the build.
Clock signal output
The meter sends a clock signal when energy has been transferred, which other machines can react to.

Use cases
Paid power on a server
A server owner can meter energy supplied to a base and require payment in emerald pieces before the power flows.
Market-style energy trade
A floating trough can take payment for energy at a fixed price, letting players trade power for in-game currency.
Who it’s for: Server owners and builders who run energy networks and want to charge for the power they supply. The mod suits players who already use an energy transport mod such as Create.
