Alternating Flux adds a long-distance, low-loss "super high voltage" power tier to Immersive Engineering, built for hauling power across large distances.
Immersive Engineering's HV wires top out at short distances — you end up placing relays every 32 blocks. Alternating Flux (AF) fixes that:
- Long range — AF wires reach up to 96 blocks per span (configurable)
- Low loss — far less power lost over distance than standard wires
- High throughput — 131,072 IF/t (4x modern HV)
- Transmission only — AF can't power machines directly; you step down to HV through an AF Transformer, just like a real substation
Think of it as the transmission backbone of your grid: bulk power across distance on AF lines, stepped down to HV/MV/LV to actually use.
HOW TO USE
1. Craft Constantan Wire, then an AF Wire Coil.
2. Place AF Wire Relays as your towers and string AF coil between them.
3. Build an AF Transformer — HV on the low side, AF on the high side. Converts 1:1.
4. At the far end, another AF Transformer steps it back down to HV for your machines.
REQUIRES Immersive Engineering. Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge.
tested on a live server but still shaking out edge cases. Please report any bugs!
CurseForge and Modrinth only host the latest stable release of Alternating Flux. Older versions, as well as beta and alpha builds, are no longer available on either platform. If you need an older version or want to try a beta/alpha, head over to the GitHub releases page.
