Miniature Power Plant
by canitzp
Miniature Power Plant is a Forge and NeoForge technology mod in which players assemble a small generator from modules, carrier and upgrades.
What it does
Players craft a carrier, then attach modules and upgrades to it to build a simple power plant that generates energy. Modules differ in how they produce power: a solar module is weakened when shaded, while another module consumes grass and leaves to generate energy. Temperature and water upgrades change the output of the modules they are attached to, and an energy meter with a battery slot shows what the plant is producing.
The interface is split into five parts across the top, bottom and center of the screen. A statistics view lists every effect and energy production penalty, and a bar shows each module's depletion rate, from 0% to 150%, with colors marking the ranges. Upgrades raise or lower that rate, and a hover readout gives the exact stored energy, generation per tick and energy wasted in the last tick. The carrier pulls energy into its own buffer, but only items that can handle energy belong in the item slot.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Its latest files are 47.0.1 for Forge 1.20.1 and 210.0.0 for NeoForge 1.21.1, and builds cover 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 in 11 release versions.

What the author says
You just have to craft and place the carrier, which can hold up to three modules and three upgrades, as well as 20kFE. By adding the modules, you can create a simple power plant. Any module has it pros and cons, for example the solar modules works best in direct sunlight, but is affected by bad weather. But to find…
