Create: Advanced Electricity Addon

Crafts & Additions: Lamps & Fuses

Put your Crafts & Additions power grid to work. This addon adds lamps that actually need electricity, real fuse boxes with circuits and breakers, long-distance subsea cables, a control room computer that watches your grid, and a modern diving suit with a working dive computer.

Everything runs on Forge Energy (FE) from Create: Crafts & Additions and connects with its normal wire spools and connectors.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge

• Create

• Create: Crafts & Additions

• Optional: MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod: Refurbished (the Power Box can supply its lamps and appliances)

Install the mod on both the server and the client.

💡 Lighting

• Light Bulb and Industrial Lamp: they only light up while they receive power. Wire them up with a Crafts & Additions spool. They turn off within a fraction of a second when the power is cut, and they don't flicker.

• Alarm Lamp: a flashing red light with a siren. It is triggered by redstone. Right-click it with an empty hand to switch between siren, horn, bell and silent.

⚡ Power Distribution

• Fuse Box:

• The door opens and closes, and an analog gauge on the door shows the current load.

• It has 2 inputs at the bottom (red terminals) and 4 circuits at the top (blue terminals).

• Every circuit has its own lever and its own fuse.

• The menu shows demand, throughput and an energy meter for each circuit.

• Fuses from 16 A up to 500 A:

• Overload a circuit for too long and its fuse blows. Short load spikes are tolerated.

• A blown fuse can be repaired with wire in a crafting table.

• Circuit Breakers from 16 A up to 500 A: they trip instead of burning out. Flip the lever back on and you're done.

• Control Panel: a switch with a power meter that sits in the line. It can be locked with a Key, and keys can be copied in a crafting table.

• Power Box: a small junction box for walls and ceilings. It powers the block it is mounted on. With Refurbished installed, you can link that mod's lamps and appliances to it.

🌊 Long Distance & Underwater

• Subsea Cable:

• A waterproof cable that lies on the seabed and carries power over very long distances, even through unloaded chunks.

• You place it like Create train tracks. Right-click a placed cable to select it as the start, aim at the target and watch the live preview, then right-click to lay the whole line.

• The line follows the terrain and curves smoothly out of the direction the start cable points in.

• Subsea Cable Converter: connects the subsea cable to a normal Crafts & Additions grid. Put a regular connector on top; the converter sets the connector's mode for you.

🖥️ Control Room Computer

A live map of your whole grid. It shows fuse boxes, panels, lamps, connectors and subsea lines, and it updates the moment something is built or broken.

• It reports broken wires, missing blocks, blown fuses, overloads and switched-off circuits.

• It gives a redstone signal when there is a fault, which is handy together with the alarm lamp.

• Warnings can be dismissed one by one.

🤿 Modern Diving Suit

• Helmet: a full-face helmet with a transparent visor, so your face stays visible. It has a headlamp that lights up underwater.

• Suit: a drysuit with a built-in battery.

• Leggings and Boots: they make you swim faster.

• Full suit: protects you from electric shocks. Bare Crafts & Additions wires that hang in water will shock you otherwise!

• Air supply, used in this order:

1. Air Hose connected to an electric Air Pump

2. Oxygen Tank (refill it at the pump)

3. the suit's battery as a reserve

• Charging Station: recharges the suit.

🫧 Decompression & Dive Computer

The diving system uses a realistic pressure model:

• Every 10 blocks of water adds 1 bar of pressure. Your body takes up pressure over time while you breathe compressed air.

• Ascend too fast after a deep or long dive and you get decompression sickness: nausea, then slowness and weakness, then damage. Diving back down (recompression) helps.

• Descend too fast and you get a barotrauma.

• Shallow dives down to about 8 blocks never need a stop, just like real diving.

A dive computer on your screen shows:

• depth and pressure

• ascent and descent speed

• remaining air and battery

• tissue saturation

• the next decompression stop

• flashing warnings

Follow the stops and nothing will happen to you.

⚙️ Configuration

You can adjust a lot in the common config file:

• power use of every block

• fuse ratings, tolerance and overload time

• subsea cable throughput and length

• air, tank and battery values

• electric shock

• every decompression setting, or switch decompression off completely
