Create: Waterwheel Bearing

 

A new bearing block for the Create mod that lets you build custom rotating waterwheels using any solid blocks



 

How It Works

 

  1. Place the Waterwheel Bearing facing the direction you want the wheel to spin
  2. Build your wheel design in front of it using any solid blocks
  3. Set up a water channel so water flows across the wheel
  4. Right-click the bearing with an empty hand to assemble
  5. The wheel starts spinning and generates kinetic power
  6. Right-click again to disassemble.

 

 

 

Build Any Wheel Shape No restrictions on size or shape. Round, octagonal, square — the mod measures your actual structure and adapts. Any solid block works as wheel material.

 

Multi-Layer Wheels Wheels can be multiple blocks deep along the rotation axis. A thicker wheel generates more power. The goggles display full dimensions: Wheel Size: 9×9×2.

 

Water-Powered Rotation The wheel only spins when water (or lava) flows across it. The mod scans the entire wheel plane for flowing fluid — asymmetric channels, side feeds, and diagonal flows all work correctly.

 

Stress Capacity Scales with Size More blocks = more power. Capacity scales with both wheel area and depth:

 

Goggle Support Wear Create goggles and look at the bearing to see current RPM, stress output, wheel dimensions, and water contact status.

 

 

 

📋 Future Plans Section: ✔✔✔✔

  • Water Flow Mechanics - Dynamic rotation based on actual water contact 
  • Flow Detection System - Similar to Create's water wheels
  • Realistic Physics - Wheels stop when water is removed
  • Other Features - Config options, lava support, sounds, particles
