Immersive Technology
by tgstyle
Immersive Technology adds thermal power generation to Immersive Engineering, with solar towers, heat exchangers, steam and gas turbines for Forge players who build their own power chains.
What it does
Solar Reflectors aim sunlight at a Solar Tower, which boils water with the reflected heat; more reflectors mean more heat, and at least one reflector is needed for each tower, with the towers spaced apart from each other. Between two fluid loops, a Heat Exchanger transfers warmth, so incoming feedwater is warmed in advance and heat that would be wasted gets reclaimed. The Gas Turbine burns combustible fuels directly to produce rotation and needs an electric starter to get moving, since an underfed turbine produces little.
Immersive Technology requires Immersive Convergence, Immersive Engineering and Immersive Fixes. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, is open source, and its public source code and issue tracker are linked. It works with the Energy Technology addon and runs on the client and server. Files exist for 1.12.2 and 1.20.1, and the latest Forge build for 1.20.1 is 2.1.0-b7435-release, published on 2026-10-07.
Key features
Solar Tower heating
Reflected sunlight boils water in a Solar Tower, and more Solar Reflectors increase the heat delivered.
Heat Exchanger loops
Two fluid loops pass heat through the exchanger, which preheats feedwater and recovers waste heat.
Steam and gas turbines
A Steam Turbine converts expanded steam into rotation, while a Gas Turbine burns fuel to drive the same shaft.
Turbine output scaling
Output of the turbines scales with their speed and torque, so a turbine running below its load produces little power.
Higher pressure tier
A High Pressure Steam Turbine handles high pressure steam and is available as an optional tier on 1.12.2.

How it compares
NuclearCraft is open source under the MIT License and runs on Forge 1.12.2 with client and server. NuclearCraft: Overhauled is also open source under the MIT License, for Forge 1.12.2. GregTech: True age of Steam is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, for Forge 1.20.1, and it shares the client and server environment. Immersive Technology covers only the thermal and turbine side of power generation.
