Energy Evolution
by thecarrs96
Energy Evolution is a NeoForge technology mod that adds an energy and fluid tech tree, with tiers for fission, fusion and further stages planned.
What it does
A wrench sits at the centre of the mod. Right-clicking a machine with it sets the input and output sides of the pipe-wire network, and holding Shift while clicking checks a block's status, while holding Ctrl and clicking changes the opposing face. The wrench is craftable, and the rest of the tech tree builds on it.
The tree ranges from the early energy and fluid blocks through a fission control block and a fusion control block. Control blocks consume fuel and output energy, and they warn before a failure can cause an explosion. Pipe-wire carries both fluid and electricity, and a water collector turns water into an energy-based fluid. The mod is built on the standard NeoForge energy and fluid system, so other energy and fluid mods can feed into it. The fusion stage depends on support blocks: a stabilizer produces a stability field around the fusion block, a magnet provides a containment field, and a heating laser preheats the fusion block to its required temperature.
Energy Evolution is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge on the single version 1.21.8, and the latest file is 1.0.3, released 2026-01-26. The code is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Wrench controls
The wrench sets which side of a block acts as input or output, and Shift and Ctrl clicks check a status or change the opposing face.
Fission and fusion control blocks
Control blocks consume fuel to produce energy and give a warning before a failure can cause an explosion.
Pipe-wire network
Pipe-wire carries fluid and electricity through the same network, so one line can serve both.
Fusion support blocks
A stabilizer, a magnet and a heating laser each supply one part of the environment a fusion block needs to run.

How it compares
Oblecat force fields is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, client and server, under All rights reserved, and it covers force fields rather than a full energy tree. PEAA-Evolution is also NeoForge and client and server, but targets 1.21.1 and is not open source. Wrenchwherever is server-side only, under the MIT License and for 1.21.1, so players join without installing it and it adds only a wrench.

this mod adds in an energy tech evolution tree that right now includes fission and fusion (more tiers will be added in the future potentially) this mod is meant to be used with other energy/fluid mods but does not require them for functionality (but it does require them to be useful) {it does use the standard…
