Power Advantage is a mod for Minecraft that provides a simple API for adding power systems (such as steam power) to Minecraft. By itself, Power Advantage adds some handy item conveyor machines (which don't need power) that help you sort items and can transfer items upwards (unlike hoppers) and some machines for collecting, storing, and dispensing water/lava/liquids. Add-on mods that use the Power Advantage API (e.g. Steam Advantage) add additional forms of power.

You may use the Power Advantage, Steam Advantage, and Electric Advantage mods in your modpacks without asking for permission. You may even use the code from these mods in your own mods, so long as you provide a link to the original Power Advantage source code. I really do encourage you to try using the Power Advantage API to make your own mods.
