Automatically mines 9x9 blocks by default, up to 64x64 with landmarks. Requires only energy (MJ) and rarely needs manual work. Frame is 5 blocks tall with diamond-like miner tool
Energy is a resource that refills over time and is shared across characters. Maximum Energy cap is 673 (including Titles and Great Marni Stones). Current energy is separate per character, maximum energy shared across all
Mod adds multiblock machines and new wire system for efficient power transmission. Connectors are installed sparsely, allowing quick wire connections between blocks. Mineral veins exist independently of actual blocks, making mining eco-friendly. Update speed is fast, especially in newer versions
Electrical grid delivers electricity from producers to consumers through interconnected network. Power stations, substations, transmission, and distribution systems form grid. Grids vary in size from microgrids to super grids covering entire countries. Nearly all grids operate synchronously with three-phase AC frequencies
Alternating current (AC) reverses direction and changes magnitude continuously. AC is used for power distribution and consumer appliances. Most power circuits use sine waveform with positive half-period corresponding to current direction
IC2 adds electrically-powered machines to Minecraft, bringing it to the Industrial Age. Mod doubles ore output and generates power using Energy Units (EU). Five new resources: Rubber, Copper, Tin, Lead, and Uranium
