PowerConverters

Finally, there's a solution for unifying all energy systems in Minecraft! The PowerConverters mod allows efficient energy conversion between different systems: IndustrialCraft 2, BuildCraft, Factorization, and Railcraft steam systems. This is a true bridge between technological mods.

Basic Operation Principle

The central element of the system is the Energy Bridge - a special block around which consumer and producer converters are placed. Each such block connects to the bridge on one side and to the corresponding energy system on the other.

When properly assembled, a special interface opens showing:

• "INPUT LIMITED" or "OUTPUT LIMITED" status when power is imbalanced
• Connection information for each side with system type, flow direction, and current transfer rate
• Color-coded connection status indicators

Available Energy Systems

IndustrialCraft 2

Use converters of various voltage levels:

• Low Voltage (LV)
• Medium Voltage (MV)
• High Voltage (HV)
• Extreme Voltage (EV)

EV converters have no pulse size limitations and are compatible even with GregTech superconductors.

BuildCraft

Simple integration with MJ system. Converters are available when BuildCraft is installed.

Factorization

A special system requiring sequential block placement: Factorization first, then PowerConverters.

Steam Systems

Works with Railcraft steam machines. Conversion rate can be configured through the config file.

Universal Charger

From version 2.1, the ability to charge items directly from chests or player inventory was added. Supports charging IC2 items.

Crafting System

All consumer recipes are identical to producer recipes - simply place a consumer in the crafting grid to get a producer, and vice versa.

Conversion Ratios

The system uses a common metric based on energy required to smelt one item:

• IC2: 1800
• BuildCraft/ThermalExpansion: 4375
• Steam: 875
• Factorization: 875

Ratios can be configured through the config file by setting individual multipliers for each system.

Technical Features

The Energy Bridge automatically detects connections and power flow direction. Color coding helps quickly assess system status.

Conversion formula: output_quantity = input_quantity × input_scale / output_scale
