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
