Simple Generators
Simple Generators, a Forge technology mod, adds a range of single-block power generators that burn or harvest different sources.
What it does
Each generator is a single block that produces power from a specific source. The set covers combustion, culinary, ender, nether and soul generators, along with fluid combustion, geothermal and turbine variants. Players choose a generator by the resource they have available and the output they need.
The mod requires ValkyrieLib, which must be installed alongside it. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Forge files exist for 1.16.5 only in the latest release, 1.16.5-3.0.9.2 from 2023-04-18, while the project lists three release versions in total, 1.9.4, 1.12.2 and 1.16.5. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
The author's notes describe a large selection of single-block generators, and the public issue tracker and wiki are linked from the project page for bug reports and documentation.
