Wind Turbine Block Component

The utilitycraft:wind_turbine block component allows you to create passive generators that produce Dorios Energy (DE) based on altitude.

Wind Turbines generate more energy at higher elevations and may suffer penalties at lower heights depending on configuration.

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 Wind Turbine:

• type: "passive"
  Indicates the generator produces energy automatically without consuming items or fluids.

---

Generator Configuration

• energy_cap (required)
  Maximum energy storage in DE.

• rate_speed_base (required)
  Base energy generation per tick before altitude modifiers.

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

---

Altitude Configuration

Wind Turbines scale energy output based on height.

• max_altitude_multiplier
  Absolute cap multiplier applied to generation.

altitude object

• min
  Minimum Y level required for generation.

• base
  Reference Y level used to calculate bonuses.

• bonus_step
  Blocks required above base to increase generation.

• penalty_step
  Blocks below base before penalties apply.

• step_ratio
  Multiplier added (or removed) per step.

• max_multiplier
  Maximum multiplier allowed from altitude scaling.

---

Required Tick Component

Wind Turbines must include minecraft:tick to update passive generation.

Example:

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