Grid and FE
Grid and FE adds FE-powered lamps and decorative electrical blocks for NeoForge, aimed at technology builds that want lighting without large industrial machines.
What it does
Grid and FE centers its content on lamps and utility blocks rather than machines and automation. Its current content draws from existing FE energy systems, so the mod can sit alongside other FE technology mods such as Immersive Engineering and Create in one modpack.
The project is in active beta development, and the author lists more lamp variants, connectors for power distribution, modern lighting systems and additional FE-powered utility blocks as the planned direction. Grid and FE is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code publicly available. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only.
