⚙️ Idle Generators v1.3.0 — "Automation & Control"

Minecraft Bedrock 1.26.30+ · Behavior Pack + Resource Pack both required · English & Español

⚠️ This release raises the minimum game version

Idle Generators now needs Minecraft Bedrock 1.26.30 or newer. Every earlier version — including 1.21.130, which was the minimum for all previous releases — cannot run this file.

The reason is the new settings screen. It relies on a pack manifest format and a scripting API that simply do not exist before 1.26.30, so there is no way to offer it on older engines.

Still on an older version? Nothing is lost: v1.2.1 stays available on this page and keeps working exactly as it does today. Bedrock updates itself on every platform, so most players are already on a supported version without doing anything.

Would you actually use a 1.21.130 build? Ask for it in the comments. The addon is written so an older-engine edition can be produced from the very same code — just without the settings screen. If there is real demand, it can be published.

✨ New

• 🎨 The Colors Set — 16 new dye generators, one for every color in the game (48 generators total). Never farm flowers, cactus or squids for color again: infinite dyes for terracotta, glass, concrete and wool. All 16 recipes share one layout — glass corners, bone meal on the sides, that color's natural source on top and bottom (bone, ink sac, poppy, cactus, cocoa beans…), and the dye itself in the center.
• 🎛️ Switch whole generator packs on or off before you even enter the world. In your world settings open Behavior Packs → Idle Generators → the gear icon, and turn Ores, Woods, Stones or Colors on or off. No commands, no need to be in game — ideal if you only want part of the addon.
• 🔀 A switch for every single generator. /idlegen:config opens a redesigned settings menu: one page per pack with an on/off switch per generator, a quick action to flip a whole pack at once, production details on hover, and live active counters (with each pack's icon) on the main menu. Esc steps back instead of closing everything. Operators only.
• 📦 Auto-output. Put a container directly below a generator — chest, barrel, hopper, dropper, dispenser or shulker box — and it empties the buffer for you. Redstone-locked hoppers are skipped, exactly like vanilla.
• 🧊 Readable inventory icons. Generator blocks in the inventory and hotbar now show the resource inside the glass much bigger, so you can tell them apart at a glance. Placed generators look exactly the same as always.
• 🏆 Achievements stay enabled. The new settings screen and the config command need no experimental toggles and no cheats, so your world keeps its achievements.

🔧 Changed

• 🏷️ Pack names now display their version — "Idle Generators 1.3.0" — so you can always tell which copy is which after updating.
• 🧩 Activation: activate the Behavior Pack — the Resource Pack joins automatically. (Activating only the Resource Pack no longer drags the Behavior Pack in.)
• 🏷️ The command is now /idlegen:config (previously /idleoregen:config) — the addon has been called Idle Generators since v1.1.0.
• 🧹 Orphan cleanup. Generators destroyed by pistons, /setblock or world-edit tools no longer leave stored data behind or a floating visual entity.

🛡️ Turning a generator off is safe

A generator that is off keeps its block and keeps whatever it already produced — you can still withdraw that buffer by hand or through automation. It just stops producing and stops accruing in the background, so switching a pack off for a week and back on never hands you a week of free resources.

The two layers stack: the pack switch gates its generators, and your individual choices are remembered underneath. Turn a pack back on and everything returns exactly as you left it.
