Mod adding realistic electricity to Minecraft

About this Mod
MineElec is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20 that introduces a complete electrical system to your world.
Generate electricity using a coal-fired generator or a solar panel that adapts to the time of day and weather. Store your energy in batteries that automatically take over in case of a power outage. Distribute power throughout your base using cables.
Control your circuits with switches, protect them from overloads with circuit breakers, and isolate entire sections with relays. Connect your electrical network to Redstone via the Redstone Converter to trigger automatic, electricity-powered mechanisms.
Light up your structures with electric lamps and secure your installations with an alarm that sounds as soon as the power goes out.
Diagnose your network with the multimeter (voltage, current, resistance, power), quickly check the condition of a cable with the voltage tester, cut unnecessary connections with the wire cutters, and reset your circuit breakers with the screwdriver.
The electrical system is based on a realistic physical model.

Server lagging with MineElec – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if MineElec consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
