Custom wire properties added to Grid Engineering

Custom wires can now be added through datapacks or KubeJS.

Available properties:

• name

  The display name of the wire. Used in item names, Jade, and tooltips.

• voltage

  The maximum voltage tier the wire can handle.

  Examples: LV, MV, HV, SHV, CHV

  If voltage values are changed in the config, custom wires using tier names will automatically use the updated values.

• base_amps / .baseAmps()

  The amperage capacity of the 1mm version of the wire.

  Larger wire thicknesses automatically multiply this value.

  Example: if base_amps is 4:

  • 1mm: 4A
  • 2mm: 8A
  • 4mm: 16A
  • 8mm: 32A
  • 16mm: 64A

• loss_per_meter_per_amp_ppm / .lossPerMeterPerAmpPpm()

  Power loss per block per ampere, measured in ppm.

  • 10000 = 1%
  • 5000 = 0.5%
  • 2000 = 0.2%

• color / .color()

  The render tint color of the wire.

  Examples:

  • "0xff00ff"
  • "#ff00ff"
  • 0xff00ff

• only_one / .onlyOne() / .onlyone()

  By default, custom wires generate 1mm, 2mm, 4mm, 8mm, and 16mm variants.

  This option makes the wire generate only one thickness variant.

• mm / .mm()

  Sets the thickness used when only_one is enabled.

  Valid values: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

• coated / .coated()

  Also generates coated versions of the custom wire.

  Coated wires render thicker and use the normal coated-wire loss behavior.

KubeJS example:

GEEvent.wire(event => {
  event.create("example_wire")
    .name("Example Wire")
    .voltage("HV")
    .baseAmps(8)
    .lossPerMeterPerAmpPpm(2500)
    .color(0xff55aa)
    .coated()
})

Datapack JSON example:

{
  "name": "Example Wire",
  "voltage": "HV",
  "base_amps": 8,
  "loss_per_meter_per_amp_ppm": 2500,
  "color": "0xff55aa",
  "coated": true
}
