What it does

The rebuild reworks an earlier atmospheric water generator for Mekanism, updated for the current Forge and NeoForge builds. Its large internal capacity lets a single block supply water far beyond what a standard source block provides, and the author notes that the value is a fixed maximum rather than an unlimited supply.

Installation needs Mekanism on the loader it targets. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Forge files cover 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.1.9 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge file and 1.1.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest NeoForge file. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Large water capacity

    A single water generator block holds up to 2.1 billion water sources, a quantity no ordinary source block reaches.

  2. Atmospheric water source

    The block works as an atmospheric water generator in the Mekanism style, producing water that can feed machines and pipes.

  3. Mekanism integration

    The block follows the mechanics of the Mekanism base mod, so players who already use its machines find the same setup.

  4. Searchable keyword

    Searching for water generator in a recipe or item viewer such as JEI finds the block quickly.

Questions

Does Mekanism: Water Generator Rebuild need Mekanism?

The rebuild is built on the Mekanism base mod, so Mekanism must be installed on the same loader and version as this mod.

Does the server need the mod installed?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Which loader should be chosen?

Forge and NeoForge files are published. Choose the loader that matches the Mekanism build already in use, since the files differ for each loader.

Which game versions are supported?

Files exist for 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The latest NeoForge file targets 1.21.1.

What the author says

This mod is essentially an improved version of MamaeMDL's Mekanism Atmospheric Water Generator. The aforementioned mod adds 2.1 billion water sources contained within a single block, but it is made with MCreator and is a mod that can cause compatibility issues.
