Build massive rotating waterwheels for kinetic power generation! Custom waterwheels of any size using any solid blocks. Scales from 3x3 to 21x21 with automatic stress capacity scaling
You can change the generated SU value however you want
THIS RECIPE HAS ALWAYS BEEN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Description
Create: Waterwheel Bearing
A new bearing block for the Create mod that lets you build custom rotating waterwheels using any solid blocks
How It Works
Place the Waterwheel Bearing facing the direction you want the wheel to spin
Build your wheel design in front of it using any solid blocks
Set up a water channel so water flows across the wheel
Right-click the bearing with an empty hand to assemble
The wheel starts spinning and generates kinetic power
Right-click again to disassemble.
Build Any Wheel Shape No restrictions on size or shape. Round, octagonal, square — the mod measures your actual structure and adapts. Any solid block works as wheel material.
Multi-Layer Wheels Wheels can be multiple blocks deep along the rotation axis. A thicker wheel generates more power. The goggles display full dimensions: Wheel Size: 9×9×2.
Water-Powered Rotation The wheel only spins when water (or lava) flows across it. The mod scans the entire wheel plane for flowing fluid — asymmetric channels, side feeds, and diagonal flows all work correctly.
Stress Capacity Scales with Size More blocks = more power. Capacity scales with both wheel area and depth:
Goggle Support Wear Create goggles and look at the bearing to see current RPM, stress output, wheel dimensions, and water contact status.
📋 Future Plans Section: ✔✔✔✔
Water Flow Mechanics - Dynamic rotation based on actual water contact
Flow Detection System - Similar to Create's water wheels
Realistic Physics - Wheels stop when water is removed
Other Features - Config options, lava support, sounds, particles
