Description:
Simple Steam Power is a full steampunk energy mod that adds a complete resource loop: fuel a Boiler with water and combustibles, distribute steam through Copper Pipe networks, store it in tanks, and consume it in machines, wearable gear, weapons, vehicles, and automated item networks. Everything is crafted from copper and iron, giving the mod a cohesive industrial aesthetic with animated machinery and mechanical sound effects.

The Steamer block cooks raw foods into steamed versions: Steamed Beef, Chicken, Porkchop, Mutton, Rabbit, Cod, Salmon, Carrot, Potato, and Beetroot. Combining the three steamed vegetables yields a Steamed Vegetable Medley.
All recipes use standard crafting tables unless otherwise noted.
The Boiler accepts water (right-click with a bucket) and solid fuel in its inventory. Once lit, it produces steam that travels through connected Copper Pipes. Use a Line Pump for longer runs to maintain flow. Pipes connect automatically to adjacent pipes and compatible machines. An Aged Copper Valve (redstone-controlled) lets you gate sections of your network on or off.
Place a Filling Station anywhere on a live steam network. Stand on or interact with it while holding a Portable Steam Tank or Large Portable Steam Tank to fill it. Filled tanks power wearable gear and handheld devices. The Large Portable Steam Tank offers significantly greater capacity and requires a Nether Star to craft.
Equip the Steam Jetpack in the chest armor slot. While wearing it (with a filled Portable Steam Tank in your inventory), hold Jump mid-air to activate upward thrust. Steam is consumed continuously while flying. The jetpack replaces your chestplate.
Steam Pants combine iron leggings with a steam tank for leg armor that draws steam for movement bonuses. Steam Boots provide foot armor with steam-powered effects. Steam Cushion Boots add fall-damage negation thanks to their slime-ball construction. All three pull from your personal steam supply.
The Steam Hammer is a two-block structure (place it like a door — the top block activates the bottom). Open its interface to place a damaged tool, weapon, or armor piece and the required repair material. It consumes steam to perform repairs and can bypass the vanilla "Too Expensive" enchantment cost limit. Each repair has a chance to produce a Tempered result, granting +5% attack damage and +5% maximum durability to the item.
Place the turret on any solid surface and right-click to mount it. While mounted, the turret tracks your view direction and fires iron nuggets at approximately 9 shots per second, dealing 4 damage (2 hearts) per hit, with an effective range of 32 blocks. Load up to 256 iron nuggets by right-clicking with nuggets while unmounted, or automate loading via a hopper. The turret draws steam from the pipe network it is connected to. Right-click or sneak to dismount.
The Steam Redstone Emitter outputs a redstone signal when steam is flowing through it, bridging the steam network and redstone logic. The Steam Deadbolt is a steam-powered lock: connect it to a pipe network and use redstone to engage or disengage the bolt on adjacent doors.
Place the Steam Rain Generator and ensure it is connected to a steam network. It requires a Nether Star in its recipe (expensive, late-game) and will actively trigger rain in the world while supplied with steam, useful for farms and atmosphere.
Place the fan facing the direction you want airflow. When connected to steam, it pushes entities and loose items in a cone in front of it. The Decorative Fan is a purely visual spinning variant with no mechanical function.
The Steamer works like a furnace but uses steam from the pipe network instead of fuel. Place raw meat or vegetables in its input slot to produce steamed food items. Combine Steamed Carrot, Steamed Potato, and Steamed Beetroot in any crafting grid to produce three Steamed Vegetable Medleys.
Early game: Start with the Steam Production Bundle recipe, which packages everything for your first boiler setup into one crafting operation. Build a Boiler → Line Pump → Filling Station chain as soon as you have iron and copper. Fill a Portable Steam Tank and craft Steam Boots or the Steam Jetpack to immediately improve mobility.
Mid game: Expand your pipe network to power a Steam Hammer for repairing and tempering your best gear without hitting the "Too Expensive" limit. Build a Steamer for better food. Run Steam Item Transfer Pipes between chests and a Steam Sorting Junction for automated storage. Deploy Steam Conveyor Belts in your base for item routing and mob farms.
Late game / defense: Craft Steam Gatling Turrets around your base perimeter, feeding iron nuggets via hoppers and steam via your main network. Upgrade to a Large Portable Steam Tank (requiring a Nether Star) for extended jetpack and gear flight. Build the Steam Rain Generator to control weather for crop farms. Construct decorative copper panel structures — doors, windows, ladders, stairs, and fan installations — for a cohesive steampunk base aesthetic.
Power tip: Multiple Boilers can be connected to the same pipe network for greater steam capacity. Use Aged Copper Valves on branch lines to isolate machines you are not currently using, conserving steam for active operations.
Press Shift+M to open the Super Duper Stuff Menu — a sleek item browser that hides vanilla items and creates alphabetically sorted tabs for each installed mod while still offering smart categories like Building Blocks, Cool Weapons, Tasty Treats, Wacky Mobs, and Magical Stuff; click any item to instantly add a full stack to your inventory, scroll lists with the mouse wheel or the ▲/▼ buttons, and close with ESC or M. The menu now features louder looping shop music and an animated outer glow that pulses in time with the tune around the existing rainbow border for a flashier, beat-driven presentation; the selected tab is highlighted in yellow and empty categories show a helpful message.
Adds a craftable Fire Alarm Speaker block (recipe uses redstone, iron ingots, and a note block) that you can place from the Redstone creative tab and mine with a pickaxe. The speaker continuously scans a 15-block radius for regular fire, soul fire, and lit campfires; when it detects fire it flips to an active visual state, repeatedly plays alarm-like sounds and note particles, and stays alarming until all nearby fire is out. While alarming it emits full redstone power so you can wire it into lights, doors, or other contraptions for automated warnings and safety systems.
Record your sessions and play them back with actors that preserve each player’s exact skin, model, overlays and natural movement — just record as usual and open your replay from the in-game browser to watch, scrub and export sessions. The system is built for stability and scale: it concentrates recording on nearby entities, snapshots terrain gradually, deduplicates repeated block-state changes, ignores synthetic neighbor updates, enforces memory and per-tick limits, and flushes saves asynchronously so big fights, farms and long timelines replay reliably; visual fidelity during playback is improved for held and ranged items and item ghosts are rendered safely with restored shader state. If the Epic Fight mod is present, an optional lightweight compatibility bridge records and replays first-stage combat states (battle mode on/off, combat locomotion and idle/walk/run flags, combat pose, weapon category and transition state) and routes replay actors through Epic Fight’s renderer when available, otherwise it falls back to a stable basic holding pose; advanced Epic Fight skills, combos and special abilities are intentionally not recorded, and debug logs report detection and sync status.
The Death Note is a powerful book that lets you inflict deadly effects on players, mobs, bosses, and other entities by writing their display name. Hold the Death Note and press N to open its interface, type the target name and choose a death type (1: lightning, 2: fire, 3: poison, 4: 60-block fall). Entering a player’s name will affect that player anywhere on the server, while entering a mob or entity name applies the chosen effect to all matching entities within 200 blocks of you and within 100 blocks of any player.
Timber Chainshot adds a craftable Chainshot tool that fells entire trees sideways: use the Chainshot on any log (right-click) to trigger a blade animation with sweep particles and chain/axe sounds, scan connected logs and leaves, remove the upright tree, and rebuild it rotated so the trunk lies on its side away from the clicked face (oversized trees are safely rejected). The Chainshot is obtainable in survival via a shaped recipe using iron ingots, sticks, chains, and a diamond, and appears in the Tools creative tab; it has durability and a cooldown and uses a custom handheld icon and model. This lets you quickly harvest wood in a single, cinematic action while preserving the blocks as a fallen trunk for easy collection and aesthetic landscaping.
