About the Modification

This modification adds a special item to the game - the "Solar Helmet Module", which can be installed on any standard Minecraft helmet. When combining the helmet and module in a crafting table, the helmet receives a new tooltip description and starts generating energy when worn in the helmet slot.

The generated energy is stored internally and automatically transferred to any items in your inventory that can store FE (Forge Energy). The helmet itself cannot be used as a battery - the only way to extract energy is to place an energy-consuming item, such as a battery, in your inventory. The helmet has no energy transfer limits, so discharging occurs as quickly as possible (the actual rate depends on the energy consumer).

Crafting Process

Starting from versions 40.2.0/43.2.0/45.2.0, the helmet and module are combined in a smithing table. It's also possible to disassemble the helmet back by placing it in any crafting grid.

Solar Energy Generation

From versions 40.1.0 (for 1.18.2) and 45.1.0, a new calculation system is used for determining the generation multiplier based on time of day. For clarity, the graph shows energy generation with the default base value of 15FE/t:

The X-axis displays in-game Minecraft time (values from 0 to infinity, where every 24000 units is one day, each day starts at (day_number24000)+6000).
