Electrical Age - jrddunbr's edition

Electrical Age (ELN) is a large-scale electrical engineering and automation mod for Minecraft 1.7.10. This maintained fork includes many bugfixes, ongoing updates, and additional content while preserving the core ELN experience.

Overview

• True electrical simulation with resistance, capacitance, current flow, and meaningful power behavior
• Expanded shaft/mechanical systems for richer automation and machine design
• Less rigid voltage-tier constraints, enabling more creative builds
• Newer devices and gameplay updates beyond the original dormant upstream
• Continued maintenance for long-term 1.7.10 worlds and modpacks

What you can build

• Practical power systems with generators, batteries, capacitors, converters, and transmission hardware
• Advanced factories using electric furnaces, automation blocks, and control circuitry
• Sensor-heavy logic builds with ELN's face-based wiring and signal tools
• Mechanical networks with shafts, clutches, motors, and flywheel-driven systems
• Industrial monitoring with energy meters and automation-friendly interfaces including MQTT and Modbus

Compatibility and integrations

This mod works well with major 1.7.10 tech ecosystems, including:

• OpenComputers
• ComputerCraft
• Railcraft
• Buildcraft
• Immersive Engineering
• EnderIO
• IndustrialCraft 2

It also supports broader fuel integrations through the ELN fuel registry. Most reasonable mod fuels are supported.

Known compatibility notes:

• Avoid mods that forcibly rewrite block states on ELN blocks. Notably, the portable hole in Thaumcraft.
• Optifine and Angelica are known to cause issues with Electrical Age and are not recommended.
