Windmill
Uses wind to produce mechanical power. Requires clear space for 10 blocks in front of the blades for full power generation. Gains a small output boost when placed at higher elevations.
Notes
The Windmill is a source of mechanical power, generating 105 J/s and distributing it across a 30-block power grid to nearby machines. For full output, ensure a 10-block clear zone in front of the blades, and consider building at higher elevations for a small power boost. A practical tip: site your windmill on elevated, open terrain to maximize generation before transitioning to more reliable power sources.
