About Create Optical
From ModrinthCreate addon all about a creative way to transport rotational energy
***
***
This addon adds new blocks, items and mechanics to the mod Create.
Included mechanics
- Optical Source: emit different types of beams based on the rotational force applied
- Optical Receptor: transform the received beam into rotational force based on its properties
- Optical Sensor: emit redstone signal based on the incident beam properties
- Mirror: reflect the beam perpendicularly
- Polarizing Filter: polarize the beam (duh)
- Beam Splitter Cube: split the beam in two and polarize the resultant beams perpendicularly
- Beam Condenser: condense up to three beams into one combining its properties
- Beam Focuser: new type of recipe based on beam characteristics
- Thermal Optical Source: similar to a normal source but with high su usage based on fluid aplications
- Hologram Display: display text or items in a hologram style
- Beam Reader: display the properties of the incident beam
\* Beam Modulator: use it to comunicate through light
Different ways to generate light
Produce eletromagnetic waves with rotational force
