Mechanical power is a form of energy. It has neither torque, speed nor direction; it is simply on or off. It can be transmitted indefinitely via Gear Boxes and Axles and can be used to automate a lot of machines.
Mechanical Power Generation Blocks
Generation blocks provide mechanical power under certain conditions. "Power Production Continuity" refers to the blocks ability to provide a constant power output.
Name | Relation | Use | Power Production Continuity |
---|---|---|---|
Hand Crank | Power generation | Generate power manually | Intermittent |
Water Wheel | Power generation | Generating power with water | Continuous |
Wind Mill | Power generation | Generating power without water e.g. in the nether | Continuous |
Mechanical Power Transfer Blocks
Transfer blocks allow mechanical power to be extended from the power generation block to other locations.
Name | Relation | Use |
---|---|---|
Axle | Transmission | Transmit power up to 3 blocks |
Gear Box | Transmission/Distribution/Control | Change direction of power, Extend range of power |
Mechanically Powered Blocks
Mechanically powered blocks require mechanical power for full use. "Power Continuity Requirements" refers to the power output required to get any functionality of the block.
Name | Relation | Use | Power Continuity Requirements |
---|---|---|---|
Mill Stone | Power usage | Hemp grinding, (auto) crafting, auto grinding | Any |
Saw | Power usage | Mob grinding, crafting, auto farming | Continuous |
Hopper | Power usage | Item dispensing, Item sorting | Any |
Turntable | Power usage | Reliable redstone clocks, rotating blocks | Any |
Bellows | Power usage | Stoking fire to let the Cauldron render items | Any |
