Create: Solar Punk

Create: Solarpunk

A NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that adds solar energy generation and thermal storage to the Create ecosystem.

Requirements

- Minecraft 1.21.1 - NeoForge 21.1.228+ - Create 6.0.4+

Features

- Salt — concentrates sunlight to melt salt into molten salt and evaporate water into salt crystals - Salt — generates Create rotational force (SU) from sunlight - Salt — generates Forge Energy (FE) from sunlight - Salt — stores rotational energy (SU) for later use - Salt — stores thermal energy from molten salt and heats Create boilers - Salt — a new material found underground in arid biomes; the core fuel of the solar heat chain

Quick Start

1. Find or craft Brass Solar Panel (spawns in desert, badlands, and savanna biomes as underground deposits) 2. Place a Brass Solar Panel somewhere with a clear view of the sky (no blocks above it) 3. Right-click salt into the heater's input slot — it will melt into molten salt during daytime 4. Pipe the molten salt into a Brass Solar Panel 5. Place the Heat Battery adjacent to a Create boiler to heat it 6. For electricity, place a Brass Solar Panel with sky access and connect it to your FE network

Planned Features

- Solar Power Tower — ferments organic matter into biogas over time - Solar Power Tower — converts biomass/biogas into usable fuel - Solar Power Tower — burns biofuel to generate rotational force (SU), completing the bio-energy chain - Solar Power Tower — large multi-block structure that concentrates sunlight to generate high-temperature heat, producing large amounts of molten salt.
