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