Idle Generators

Addon designed to fit naturally into vanilla, providing generator blocks with passive resource generation, even offline.

๐ŸŒŸ Idle Generators

Automate your resource gathering with passive generation โ€” even while you're offline!

Place a generator, walk away, and come back to full storages. Perfect for Skyblock, survival, or any world where you want steady resource income without constant mining or chopping. Generators run on real-world time, so they keep producing whether you're online, offline, or the world is closed.


๐Ÿ“ฆ Features

โœ… 20 Unique Generators

  • Minerals (11): Cobblestone, Coal, Copper, Iron, Redstone, Lapis Lazuli, Gold, Quartz, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite
  • Wood Logs (9): Oak, Spruce, Birch, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak, Mangrove, Cherry, Pale Oak

โœ… Offline Generation Resources keep generating when you're not playing. Uses real-world time to produce items, so play however you like โ€” the generators never stop.

โœ… Smart Withdrawal System

  • Left-click: withdraw 1 item
  • Shift-click: withdraw up to a full stack (64)
  • Withdrawals drain the accumulated buffer, and sub-cycle progress is never lost.

โœ… Animated Models Each generator is a unique animated visual entity.

โœ… HUD Readout Look at a generator to see its glyph, name, current amount / capacity, and progress % on the action bar.

โœ… Storage Caps Generators buffer 64โ€“1024 items depending on the type (see the data tables below).

โœ… Balanced Progression Tuned for vanilla worlds and compatible with modpacks. Feedback welcome!

โœ… Supported Languages

  • English
  • Espaรฑol

โš™๏ธ How It Works

  1. Craft a generator (recipes below)
  2. Place it in your world
  3. Wait โ€” it produces automatically on real-world time
  4. Collect โ€” left-click for 1, shift-click for a stack

Generators keep producing even when you log off!
