Mekanism:Lightning Generator
by CreativeEVW
Lightning Generator is a NeoForge add-on for Mekanism that turns lightning strikes into a large power source for late-game builds.
What it does
The Lightning Generator is an expensive machine to build, but once it is running it produces a very large amount of power, which can help ease the performance problems that big Mekanism networks cause. A Lightning Protection Module is needed so that power is not lost when a lightning harness takes the charge from a strike. Mekanism and the Generators dependencies must be installed alongside it. Both sides need the mod, and the source code is public under the MIT License, with files published for 1.21.1 only.
