Voluminous Energy
by eelt
Voluminous Energy, a Forge and NeoForge technology mod by eelt, adds generators and process machines that turn energy into materials for other tech mods.
What it does
The mod centers on a concept of generating energy by combining new machines with familiar ideas from earlier Minecraft versions and other modded content. Its generators do not replace the ones players already use; the added machines produce the process materials those generators need, and a chain for getting liquid and solid fuels offers an alternative to the fuel supply of other tech mods. Elements from several earlier mods are reworked into the project, which aims to give tech-centric gameplay more energy choices in modern versions.
Installation depends on the loader and the Minecraft version. Files exist for Forge 1.20.4 and NeoForge 26.2, and the mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. A JEI integration comes in two builds: the J9 build works with JEI 9.5 and later, while the JX build targets JEI 10, so players must pick the JAR matching their JEI version. Game versions with files run 1.17.1 – 26.2, across 14 release versions.
Key features
Energy process machines
New machines produce the process materials that power generation requires, so the energy chain runs on crafted inputs.
Liquid and solid fuel chain
A machine line converts liquid and solid fuels, offering a substitute for the fuel sources used by other tech mods.
Familiar mechanics
Several mechanics borrow from earlier Minecraft versions and other modded content, reworked into the energy system.
JEI integration
Two JEI builds cover the recipe viewer, with the J9 build for JEI 9.5 and later and the JX build for JEI 10.
