Windcatchers generate mechanical power.

Recipes

Usage

Windcatchers take up 3x3 blocks horizontally, and can be placed where enough room exists to place them (the center "axle" block will be placed at the clicked position).

Windcatchers can be used to power other mechanical blocks such as Stonemills, Extractors, or Alternators.

Mechanical blocks such as Axles and Gears can be used to get power from one place to another. Windcatchers can connect to other mechanisms vertically (including other windcatchers).

Windcatchers in the overworld generate more power the higher they are (scaling from minimal power at y=63 to maximum power at y=150). They work best when there aren't too many solid blocks nearby horizontally. Windcatchers also generate a small amount of power in The End, regardless of y-level.

How much power windcatchers generate is configurable per-dimension via datapacks.

Crimson and warped windcatchers are not flammable.

Windcatcher blocks have the following blockstate properties:

Windcatchers are surrounded by eight invisible technical blocks, which have the id morered:airfoil. Airfoil blocks have the following blockstate properties:

Dyed windcatcher blockentities and itemstacks have a morered:windcatcher_colors data component of the format

{
	"east": "color",
	"south": "color",
	"north": "color",
	"west": "color"
}

Where "color" is any of the sixteen color names.

If a direction is absent or the entire datacomponent is absent, the color will be treated as white.

Windcatcher blockentities have the same datacomponent in blockentity data:

{
	"morered:windcatcher_colors": {
		"east": "color",
		"south": "color",
		"north": "color",
		"west": "color"
	}
}
