Sockets & Devices
by sebbidaddy
Sockets & Devices is a Forge technology mod that adds sockets and connectors for linking devices, with energy handling still in alpha.
What it does
Sockets & Devices adds a connector that links devices through sockets, so one device can pass energy or signals to another. The author notes the mod is an alpha build and still changes energy handling, with further features planned on top of Alpha 0.1.0. The mod requires Alpha 0.1.0 Needs Extra Energy Mod Work, and it is published for Forge across 1.20.1 – 1.20.6.

What the author says
to Modifiy Energy. Replace 'x y z' with the actual block coordinates. No updates: Forge is slowly dying, which is really sad... I'll be switching to Fabric, but I don't have enough experience with Fabric development yet, and I don't have enough time currently, as I'm working on other projects (Fabric).
