Idle Generators

Automate your resource gathering with passive generation — even while you're offline!

Place a generator, walk away, and come back to full storages. Perfect for Skyblock, survival, or any world where you want steady resource income without constant mining or chopping. Generators run on real-world time, so they keep producing whether you're online, offline, or the world is closed.

📦 Features

✅ Unique Generators

✅ Offline Generation Resources keep generating when you're not playing. Uses real-world time to produce items, so play however you like — the generators never stop.

✅ Smart Withdrawal System

• Left-click: withdraw 1 item
• Shift-click: withdraw up to a full stack (64)
• Withdrawals drain the accumulated buffer, and sub-cycle progress is never lost.

✅ Animated Models Each generator is a unique animated visual entity.

✅ HUD Readout Look at a generator to see its glyph, name, current amount / capacity, and progress % on the action bar.

✅ Storage Caps Generators buffer 64–1024 items depending on the type (see the data tables below).

✅ Balanced Progression Tuned for vanilla worlds and compatible with modpacks.

✅ Supported Languages

• English
• Español

⚙️ How It Works

1. Craft a generator (recipes below)
2. Place it in your world
3. Wait — it produces automatically on real-world time
4. Collect — left-click for 1, shift-click for a stack

Generators keep producing even when you log off!

🪨 Mineral Generators (11)

Each mineral generator uses glass on the corners, a themed material, and the resource's block in the center.

🌳 Wood Log Generators (9)

All 9 share the same pattern — glass corners, bone meal, that wood's sapling (×3) and its log in the center. Mangrove uses a Propagule instead of a sapling.

🧱 Stone & Construction Generators (12)

🎨 Color Generators (16) — v1.3.0
