Description

SolarGuard Energy

Bring clean solar energy into Minecraft. Mine a new ore, build solar panels in five tiers, store the energy in batteries and use it to light up your base, smelt without fuel, grow crops faster and keep monsters away.


SOLARITE

- Solarite Ore generates underground, up to Y 64. Mine it with an iron pickaxe or better.
- Smelt Raw Solarite into Solarite, the base material for everything in the mod.
- 9 Solarite make a Block of Solarite.


SOLAR PANELS (5 TIERS)

Panels make energy (FE) while they can see the sky during the day. Each tier is crafted from the one before it.
- Solar Panel: 4 FE/t
- Advanced Solar Panel: 12 FE/t
- SolarGuard Pro Panel: 30 FE/t, and 6 FE/t in the rain
- Ultra Solar Panel: 70 FE/t
- SolarGuard Zenith Panel: 160 FE/t, and 30 FE/t in the rain


STORAGE AND CABLES

- SolarGuard Battery: stores 20,000 FE
- SolarGuard Power Bank: stores 80,000 FE and sends it out faster
- Energy Cable: connects everything into one network, over any distance and around corners

Panels charge the batteries, and batteries power every lamp and machine connected to the same cables. Right-click any block to see how much energy it holds.


USE YOUR ENERGY

- Solar Lamp: turns on by itself at night.
- Solar Floodlight: lights up the ground in a 16-block radius at night, so monsters cannot spawn there. Put it on a pole to light your whole base.
- Electric Furnace: smelts everything a furnace does, twice as fast and without fuel. Works with hoppers.
- Grow Light: place it above your farm. It lights your crops day and night and makes them grow about three times faster.
- Mob Repeller: monsters will not spawn in a 24-block radius, and the ones that walk in are pushed back out. Mob spawners still work.


COMPATIBILITY

Uses Forge Energy (FE), the standard most tech mods understand. Machines from other mods can be powered through SolarGuard cables.


REQUIREMENTS

- Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge
- Solarite Ore only appears in newly generated chunks, so use a new world or explore new areas.
