Thermo Generator Block Component

The utilitycraft:thermo_generator block component allows you to create fluid-based generators that convert specific heated liquids into Dorios Energy (DE).

The Thermo Generator consumes fluids stored internally and generates energy automatically.

Component Structure​

"utilitycraft:thermo_generator": {
  "entity": {
    "name": "thermo_generator",
    "type": "fluid"
  },
  "generator": {
    "energy_cap": 128000,
    "fluid_cap": 8000,
    "fluid_types": 1,
    "rate_speed_base": 80
  }
}

Entity Configuration​

  • name (optional)
    Custom name assigned to the internal entity.
    Used to link the block with its UI.
    If omitted, the system uses the full block identifier as the entity name.

  • type (required)

For the Thermo Generator:

  • type: "fluid"
    Indicates the generator consumes fluids instead of items.

Generator Configuration​

  • energy_cap (required)
    Maximum energy storage in DE.

  • fluid_cap (required)
    Maximum internal fluid storage capacity.

  • fluid_types (required)
    Number of different fluid types supported.

  • rate_speed_base (required)
    Base energy generation per tick.

The system automatically adjusts internally to respect the world refresh speed.

Required Tick Component​

Thermo Generators must include minecraft:tick to process fluid consumption and generate energy.

Example:

"minecraft:tick": {
  "interval_range": [2, 2]
}
