Description

Wooden Rotor is the blade component that every Ala Industrial wind mill needs in its rotor slot to generate EU. Without a Wooden Rotor installed, a wind mill produces nothing — the rotor is the part that actually catches the wind. The same Wooden Rotor fits the basic Wind Mill (T1, up to 8 EU/t), and after evolution the Sky Mill and Tempest Mill (both T2), so one component serves the whole wind-power line of the mod. A Wooden Rotor is a consumable with a durability bar (MOD-189): it wears out only while the wind mill actually generates EU, proportional to output, and about 1.5× faster in rain or thunder. A fresh Wooden Rotor lasts roughly 480,000 EU of production — close to an hour at a Wind Mill's peak 8 EU/t — and breaks when its durability runs out. Accumulated wear is preserved when the mill evolves from T1 to T2, so you do not lose progress on a half-used rotor.

Craft a Wooden Rotor in a 3×3 grid from early-game materials: four planks in the corners, two iron ingots across the centre column, two copper cables on the sides, and one wooden gear in the middle. The recipe is available for Minecraft 26.2 on Fabric or NeoForge and unlocks alongside your first wind mill, since it needs only wood, iron, copper cable and a wooden gear. A full rotor covers about five in-game days of continuous generation, so keep a spare Wooden Rotor crafted and ready — swap it in when the durability bar empties and the wind mill keeps turning. The Wooden Rotor is a non-stackable durability item (stack size 1), so plan inventory space when carrying spares.

How to use a Wooden Rotor in Ala Industrial

  1. 1

    Craft the rotor early

    Craft a Wooden Rotor in a 3×3 grid with four planks in the corners, two iron ingots in the centre column, two copper cables on the sides, and one wooden gear in the middle.

  2. 2

    Place it in the rotor slot

    Open the Wind Mill (T1) interface and put the Wooden Rotor into the dedicated rotor slot. Without a rotor in this slot the wind mill generates no EU.

  3. 3

    Watch the durability bar

    The Wooden Rotor wears out only while the wind mill generates EU, proportional to output and about 1.5× faster in rain or thunder. One rotor lasts roughly 480,000 EU before it breaks.

  4. 4

    Keep a spare ready

    A full rotor covers about five in-game days of continuous generation, so craft a second Wooden Rotor and swap it in when the durability bar empties so the wind mill keeps turning.

  5. 5

    Keep the rotor through T2 evolution

    Accumulated wear is preserved when the Wind Mill evolves from T1 to the Sky Mill or Tempest Mill, so the same partially-used rotor continues serving the upgraded mill.

Durability item

The Wooden Rotor is a non-stackable durability item (stack size 1), so plan inventory space when carrying spare rotors to maintain your wind-power setup.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Wooden Rotor do in Ala Industrial?

Wooden Rotor is the blade component every Ala Industrial wind mill needs in its rotor slot to generate EU; without it the wind mill produces nothing.

How long does a Wooden Rotor last?

A fresh Wooden Rotor lasts roughly 480,000 EU of production — about an hour at a Wind Mill's peak 8 EU/t, or close to five in-game days of continuous generation — before it breaks.

How do you craft a Wooden Rotor?

Craft it in a 3×3 grid with four planks in the corners, two iron ingots in the centre column, two copper cables on the sides, and one wooden gear in the middle.

Does the Wooden Rotor stack?

No. Wooden Rotor is a durability item with a stack size of 1, so each rotor occupies its own inventory slot.

Is the Wooden Rotor consumed when the wind mill evolves to T2?

No. Accumulated wear is preserved when a Wind Mill evolves from T1 to the Sky Mill or Tempest Mill, so a partially-used rotor keeps serving the upgraded mill.

Does the Wooden Rotor work on Fabric and NeoForge?

Yes. The Wooden Rotor behaves the same on Fabric and NeoForge for Minecraft 26.2 (Java Edition).
