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 Craft a generator (recipes below) Place it in your world Wait — it produces automatically on real-world time 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.
