Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.20–1.20.1Newest
Minecraft 1.19.2

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Praise the sun! Support your green thumb by using these new solar panels to power your base. This mod includes five tiers of solar panels that progressively get stronger as you upgrade them. Their stats are all customizable in the config for the mod.

I made this mod to address the lack of a good standalone solar panel mod that has customization on the Fabric modloader. As such, I will not port this mod to Forge as there are already good alternatives.

Recipes

Solar Casing, Solar Voltaic Cell, and Solar Batteries make up the base components for your new solar panels:
