Do you like to play with sparks?
Electrical Age is a DC electricity simulation. This is not IC2 power, and certainly not RF: It uses state of the art simulation techniques to simulate real-life direct current inside of Minecraft. It is, for the most part, accurate and true to life.
Sometimes this means explosions, but they're the sort of explosions you learn from.
Want to know more?
Visit our support channel, we'll be happy to teach you the basics. Visit Wikipedia; the items you can find in Electrical Age act like in real life, so most things you read there are useful. Visit the dev server, if you have a reasonably powerful computer and would like to play with others.
We are currently recruiting writers for the wiki! If you can write English, and you're willing to spend the time documenting your early attempts at making something work, then we'd be overjoyed to assist.

FEATURES _____________
A better simulation
Real electrical simulation model (with resistive, inductive and capacitive effects). Behaviour similar to those of real life objects. We're not talking IC2 here, folks: This is an actual MNA solver.
Multiple electrical sources
Furnaces, solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, capacitors, steam turbines, ...
You won't believe it's not redstone!
A completely new logic system featuring XOR, NAND, AND, signal processors, buttons, switches, display screens, wireless transmission and more... using floating-point values. Actually quite useful.
Perfectly ordinary tools
XRay scanner, flashlight, portable mining drill, ...
Interoperability
Old redstone circuits can be exploited with electrical - redstones converters.
If that isn't enough, break out your OC computer!
Ran out of power? Buildcraft oil wells come quite in handy.
Break the cube
Cables, sensors, actuators, alarms, etc. can be placed on each face (outer and inner) of a cube, which allows a significant reduction of the consumed space by electrical installations.
Small and big electrical consumers
From the lamps, electrical furnaces,... to the miners, transporters, ...
Night-lighting revisited
Lamps, switches, street lights, ...
For y'all asking for news, here's a link to the github: https://discord.gg/CK9yABXRtC
Work is still being done on the 1.16 version of the mod, 1.12 version is probably never going to be happening.
Other miscellaneous links
https://eln2.org/#:~:text=Electrical Age 2.0, aka Eln2,by the end of 2021.
1.16(?) release progress: https://github.com/jrddunbr/ElectricalAge (includes 1.16 alpha(?) version of the mod)
Rewrite of 1.7.10 with ideas from 1.16(?): https://github.com/jrddunbr/EAU
Development is slow because of a lack of active developers(?)
May be ported to 1.17 instead depending on whether or not the 1.16 port is completed before Minecraft 1.17 is fully fleshed out.
"We originally targeted 1.10, then 1.12, then 1.14, then 1.15, and now 1.16. By the time we're done, it will probably be for 1.18"
There is a bug in the latest version 1.16.11 and it is that the transformers do not consume amps so we can extract infinite energyCome on guys, it will be 2021 and we still have not had official news of the mod, you must update it to 1.16 and add new possibilities, such as a more efficient way to produce steam and own the mod, without depending on other mods such as buildcraft or railcraft for to be able to use the steam and fuel turbines, this is one of my favorite mods, I always have it installed but I would really like it in 1.16 or at least use in 1.12

1.16 update is still ongoing.
I guess they leftIn reply to Kadircan9090:
I was hoping they would at least port it to 1.12
In reply to GabiK65:
A 1.12 port is unlikely to happen, judging by their Discord.
"Hi. Project Lead here. We're currently writing some updates for 1.7.10 and we are writing a new version called ELN2 which will support 1.15 or 1.16 (or both). We don't currently have plans to write code to support 1.12 because the Forge team does not currently support 1.12 with Forge Gradle 3. If support is written for Forge Gradle 3, then we will consider writing for 1.12 if Forge supports it (or, alternatively, if someone in the community wants to port and maintain it for that version."
UPDATE TO 1.16.3 PLEASE
In reply to thepiglinplayz:
It comes.
When to update to new versionWoah, i thought that development of this mod was completely dead! I'm so glad to hear that you guys are continuing to develop it after all these years. What are you going to do now that 1.16 has been released though? There's not much of a point of updating it to 1.15 now that 1.16 has already been released.
In reply to rundownturner4: well you can join theyr discord: https://discord.gg/d2Sk2gY so you can see progress (im not a dev or helper)
What fuel does it take to power the fuel generator & the fuel heat furnace?

Hi, I have a questiont, I see that you will continue this mod on 1.15; but, you will use fabric or forge?
It seems that they are having considerable trouble updating to 1.12, (have spoken to Jared Dunbar, one of the devs recently), and he says 1.12 development will not be continuing in the foreseeable future. To the devs:
Please continue porting to 1.12.
In reply to pioneer0001:
We're not updating it to 1.12, probably ever.
We are updating to 1.15, so look forward to that. It's a rewrite, but we're making fairly rapid process and a lot of old design flaws will get fixed.
In reply to Forge_User_83879429:
Yesss thank youu!!! I hope you can finish it soon! Best wishes.
Glad to see that beta changelog and your intention to port it to 1.15!!! :) Keep waiting a long time for 1.12.2 but it's time to see further!!! Thanks and keep the good work!
It's been updated to 1.14????
