AUSTECH
Pushing the Boundaries of Technical Minecraft

One of the most technical projects to hit the modding community.
Here at AusTech, we're bringing the real-world physics that govern our daily lives into the game, accurately. AusTech is designed to be more than a fun experience. It's a learning tool for up-and-coming engineers, electricians, and scientists. Because understanding theory is one thing, being able to apply it is another.

Electricity. For real.

Every other tech mod approximates electricity. AusTech simulates it based on real Standards that electricians use every day, aswell as a custom physics model that generates AC Waveforms.

V

Real Electrical Physics

Voltage, current, resistance, power factor, apparent power, reactive power — all simulated every tick. Cables have real cross-sectional area and resistance, referenced from AS/NZS 3008. Voltage drop is calculated using V = IR, and loads respond to the voltage they actually receive.

Australian Standards

AS/NZS 3000 and 3008 References. Cable sizes from 1.5mm² TPS to 50mm² XLPE with real current-carrying capacities.

A Learning Resource

Designed to teach real electrical theory through gameplay. Our hope is that players who complete the mod will understand Ohm's Law, cable sizing, power factor, transformer selection, and protection coordination. The exact concepts taught to Apprentices during their Trade School.
