Waterwheel

Updated Jul 21, 2026

Waterwheel

The waterwheel requires flowing water to function and can be stacked to increase the capacity amount of the network. The direction of the flowing water will determine the direction of rotation of the waterwheel, in order to make a waterwheel function, there are a few requirements to meet.

Generator details

Base speed 1
Capacity 150

Ground / Ceiling placement

Placing the waterwheel on the ground is possible, but is also the form with more requirements to meet. Each side of the waterwheel accepts flowing water, but a source is mandatory to be present on the edge of one of the sides.

Only 1 water source, the rest must be flowing water

A picture of a waterwheel placed on the ground with flowing water on its top side (in the perspective of the picture) with a source of water present on the right side. Water flows from left to right, making the waterwheel rotate in counter-clockwise direction from the perspective of the picture.

Wall placement

Placing the waterwheel vertically, it can be powered from one of the sides, covering all the height of the wheel (3 blocks), no water source is needed.

They can also be powered from the bottom side, following the same rule as ground / ceiling placements.

Modder tip

You can configure the requirements for your generators through the asset editor
