Simple Generators Mod 1.16.5, — Configuration

Mechanics and Configuration

Energy Distribution

Generators will automatically output energy to adjacent blocks (cables, machines, or batteries). They do not require a wrench to orient the output face, as they typically output from all sides unless configured otherwise in the GUI.

Custom Fuel Support (Datapacks)

In version 1.16.5+, users can add custom fuels to any generator using Datapacks. The recipes are stored in JSON format within the following directory structure: data/namespace/simplegens/item_generators/ or data/namespace/simplegens/fluid_generators/.

Example Item Fuel JSON:

{
 "generator": "simplegens:simple_combustion",
 "fuel": {
 "item": "minecraft:stick"
 },
 "energy": 100,
 "time": 20
}

Configuration

The mod's config file allows server owners to adjust the base energy production rates, internal buffer sizes, and the effectiveness of speed/efficiency upgrades to balance the mod for specific modpacks.
