Ampere Craft
The Ampere Craft modification offers an innovative approach to generating and managing Forge Energy (FE) in Minecraft. The world now features modern energy sources including solar panels, wind power plants, and other generators, making this mod an ideal solution for multiplayer and compatibility with other FE mods.
Key Features
Wind Energy System
The mod introduces a unique wind system that operates through variables in the background. Unlike real wind in the game, the system randomly changes wind direction and strength based on current weather conditions - wind probability is higher during rain or thunderstorms.
Wind Turbines
Various types of wind turbines are available with blade classes: Common, Pro, and Performance. Blade quality directly affects rotation speed even in weak winds and consequently affects generated power output. Combining improved blades with Normal and Performance class motors enables maximum generation efficiency.
Battery System
Developers have implemented different battery types: Standard, Professional, and Performance, each with unique characteristics:
- Standard: 25,000 FE | 80% efficiency
- Professional: 75,000 FE | 87% efficiency
- Performance: 150,000 FE | 95% efficiency
Batteries charge at Powerstation Charging Stations and discharge through Powerstation Discharging Stations, enabling transportation of significant energy volumes.
Realistic Mechanics
Batteries gradually lose capacity after each charging cycle, simulating real battery behavior. Fast charging mode accelerates this process, creating important strategic choices for players.
Resources and Production
New ores appear in the world, essential for component production:
- Lithium - for battery creation
- Silicon - for solar panels
- Uranium - for fuel rods
Development Features
The mod is in BETA stage with active development of new features. The current version supports shaders with illumination of certain blocks. Planned updates include wind system management through commands, nuclear reactor, expanded solar panels, and steam power plant.
Powerstation batteries use NBT tags "amperecraft:energy" for energy storage and "amperecraft:damage" for damage tracking. LiPo batteries support tags for integration with custom devices.
Development Status: BETA - recommended for testing purposes, not for main gameplay.
