Mekanism Generators
by Mekanism
Mekanism Generators, an official Mekanism addon, adds generators and reactors that supply energy to Mekanism machines when no other power source is available.
What it does
The addon covers the ways of making energy that Mekanism itself leaves out: a heat generator, a gas-burning generator, a bio-generator, solar and advanced solar generators, a wind generator, and fission and fusion reactors. Without it, a player depends on another mod to power Mekanism machines.
The mod requires Mekanism on Forge and NeoForge. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.7.10 – 1.21.1 across 20 release versions, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Mekanism Generators is one of several official Mekanism modules, alongside Mekanism Additions and Mekanism Tools. Thirteen catalog mods require it, among them Mekanism: Advanced Generators and Integrated Mekanism.
Key features
Heat generator
A generator that converts heat into energy for connected Mekanism machines.
Gas-burning generator
Burns gases to produce power, so gas output from other machines can be used.
Bio-generator
Turns organic materials into energy for an energy network.
Solar generators
Standard and advanced solar generators produce power from sunlight, with the advanced version giving more output.
Wind and reactors
A wind generator and fission and fusion reactors add large-scale power production.
