The FE Grid
The FE Grid adds blocks for generating, storing and moving Forge Energy (FE) through a world, with a solar panel and an energy source that works in creative mode.
What it does
The mod covers the whole energy chain: a solar panel that produces FE when exposed to the sky, cables that carry FE between machines, and storage units that hold it. Storage units come in 250kFE, 500kFE, 1mFE and 2mFE sizes. An energy block supplies infinite FE, but it can only be obtained in creative mode. Crafting recipes for the blocks are deliberately involved. Client and server both need the mod, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. Files exist for 1.20.1 on Forge and NeoForge, with 1.2.0 as the latest build from 2025-07-11.
