Description

Place a generator and let it work — even while the world is closed.
Idle Generators adds 32 craftable block-generators (31 on Minecraft 1.21.1) that produce resources passively over real time. Close your world, go offline, come back later — the generators track how much time has passed and fill up their internal buffer. When you return, an action-bar HUD shows the current buffer, and you can collect or break the block to retrieve everything that accumulated.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 32 generators | 11 mineral types, 9 wood types and 12 stone & construction types, each with a configurable production interval and buffer cap |
| Offline production | Generators use real-world timestamps so items accumulate while the world is closed |
| Action-bar HUD | Live buffer readout (items stored / cap + %) updates every tick when you look at a generator. Auto-hides when Jade is installed (config toggle to keep it) |
| Collect or break | Right-click to collect without breaking; break the block to get the buffer plus the block item |
| Animated core renderer | Each generator block shows a rotating animated core whose appearance reflects the output type |
| Optional Jade support | Look-at tooltip shows buffer status when Jade is installed |
| Cloth Config integration | Per-generator intervals and caps are fully configurable in-game |
Generators
Every recipe follows the same language: glass corners, the block as the center sample, thematic vanilla catalysts on the edges. Expand a set to see every generator's recipe and stats.

Automate your resource gathering with passive generation, even while you're offline!
Place a generator, walk away, and come back to full storages. Perfect for Skyblock, survival, or any world where you want steady resource income without constant mining or chopping. Generators run on real-world time, so they keep producing whether you're online, offline, or the world is closed.
✅ Unique Generators
Minerals (11): Cobblestone, Coal, Copper, Iron, Redstone, Lapis Lazuli, Gold, Quartz, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite Wood Logs (9): Oak, Spruce, Birch, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak, Mangrove, Cherry, Pale Oak Stone & Construction (12)
✅ Offline Generation Resources keep generating when you're not playing. Uses real-world time to produce items, so play however you like — the generators never stop.
✅ Smart Withdrawal System
Left-click: withdraw 1 item Shift-click: withdraw up to a full stack (64) Withdrawals drain the accumulated buffer, and sub-cycle progress is never lost.
✅ Animated Models Each generator is a unique animated visual entity.
✅ HUD Readout Look at a generator to see its glyph, name, current amount / capacity, and progress % on the action bar.
✅ Storage Caps Generators buffer 64–1024 items depending on the type (see the data tables below).

🪨 Mineral Generators (11)


Each mineral generator uses glass on the corners, a themed material, and the resource's block in the center.
🌳 Wood Log Generators (9)


All 9 share the same pattern — glass corners, bone meal, that wood's sapling (×3) and its log in the center. Mangrove uses a Propagule instead of a sapling.
