Sun Panels

A simple Minecraft mod that adds three tiers of solar panels for generating Redstone Flux (RF) energy.

Features

This mod adds three tiers of solar panels to Minecraft:

Basic Solar Panel

• ⚡ Power Output: 32 RF/t
• 🔋 Internal Storage: 4,000 RF
• Affordable to craft, good for early game

Advanced Solar Panel

• ⚡ Power Output: 128 RF/t
• 🔋 Internal Storage: 16,000 RF
• Requires mid-game resources, suitable for automation

Elite Solar Panel

• ⚡ Power Output: 512 RF/t
• 🔋 Internal Storage: 64,000 RF
• Expensive to craft, but efficient for late-game setups

How It Works

• Sun panels generate energy during daylight hours
• Generation is affected by time of day (reduced at dawn/dusk)
• Panels must have a clear line of sight to the sky
• Energy is automatically transferred to adjacent energy-accepting blocks
• Power generation stops at night or during storms

Joules Based Mods

• ✅ Mekanism: Full integration with Mekanism's energy system
