Neo Grid
by tt432
Neo Grid is a NeoForge technology mod for automated electrical grids, where nearby machines connect to power lines without manual wiring.
What it does
Electric poles form the transmission backbone. Each pole is two blocks tall, and a chain of them carries power over long distances. Machines placed near a pole link into the network automatically, which reduces the need to run cables by hand.
Power Logic and integrated management handle a network as it grows. The mod lets a player watch and control a large electrical network from one place, so complex and scalable layouts stay readable. Advanced rendering draws the components with smooth, realistic visuals.
Neo Grid is open source under the MIT License and is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Key features
Automatic machine linking
Machines near the grid connect to it on their own, so power reaches them without hand-placed cables.
Two-block electric poles
Tall poles carry power efficiently across long distances, and a line of them forms the main transmission path.
Power logic control
Power Logic governs how energy moves through the network, letting the player shape the flow of a large grid.
Smooth component rendering
Electrical components are drawn with advanced rendering, giving them a smooth and realistic appearance.

Use cases
Long-distance power lines
Poles placed in a chain carry power from a generator to machines far from it, without running cable along the whole route.
Scaled factory networks
Integrated management keeps a large factory's electrical network organized as more machines are added.
Who it’s for: Players building automated factories on NeoForge 1.21.1 who want power distribution handled by the grid rather than by hand-placed cables.
