The Multi-Windmills Mod adds windmills to Minecraft. The basic windmill is craftable and allows you to pump water into buckets. Helpful for farming and when water is not nearby. When pumping, water splashes around the base of the windmill. The blades turn in the wind and move when the wind direction changes.
The first release of the mod includes the basic water-pumping windmill. I have plans to add several more types of windmills to the mod in the future, as time permits. I also intend to add more functionality to the basic windmill in the future as well.
Thanks. It's just 1.7.2 because it was the latest Forge when I started developing the Mod, but I will make an official release for 1.7.10 when I get a chance. I did a quick test of the current mod release with the 1.7.10 recommended Forge release and everything seemed to be ok.
If you put a bucket into the windmill slot, it fills it and gives back a water bucket. But if you put *anything* into the slot, it gives back a water bucket. Even if you put in a block of dirt, or a glass bottle.
I can just ignore this, but it would be nice to fix.

Just stumbled across this mod in my sporadic quest to find an actual windmill mod, even if just a visual. You'd think that someone would have already created one by now...but ah well! Anyway, I was happy to find your mod but after reading the responses if the above is true, I can't use it....my players will abuse it. Turning dirt into buckets and buckets into iron
It would be interesting if you could make a larger one that isn't the water pump type, but one that would use mill stones to grind things. Then allow people to configure what can be ground into what with a config file.

Random Additions mod has wind mills and water wheels that actually run machines.

Yeah I've monkeyed around with that mod a bit, but information about it seems lacking and it's not set up intuitively. I'm not sure what everything is used for, and as noted I don't like adding things to my server unless it's not likely to be abused!

Hi Twilight13,
Thanks for reporting this. I had code in there to limit the items placed inside, but I commented it out to troubleshoot a problem I was seeing, and then never went back and un-commented it, derp. I will fix this when I get a chance.

Hi VladtheMad,
Thanks for your comment! I can see how this bug causes unique problems on a multi-player level, so I will try to increase the priority for the fix. It's been hard to find time to work on this, but maybe soon
Thanks for your suggestion as well. This is something that is actually on my to-do list. I have plans to create an old mill type windmill that will crush items under a big stone wheel. But I really like your idea of the config file, thank you!

I have this on my to-do list. I would like to interface with a variety of power mods, as well as have different types of windmills providing different levels of power. I'm trying to find time to work on fixes & improvements, so don't give up on the mod yet
are you still working on the mod though? theres been no info since created really
Hi lunchboxxx19,
I'm slowly getting back around to it... I really want to make some improvements and add some features, but my day-job has been keeping me busy
I'll try to get some updates over the holidays.

I really enjoy this mod, but it has a bug:
If you put a bucket into the windmill slot, it fills it and gives back a water bucket. But if you put *anything* into the slot, it gives back a water bucket. Even if you put in a block of dirt, or a glass bottle.

Yes, I will give you permission to use my mod in your modpack with the link-back. Thanks for your support!
Thank you Darkultragamer! Yes, you have my permission to use my mod in your mod pack. Thank you for your support!
That is actually on my to-do list! It will be like an old mill windmill, that crushes items under a big wheel. Thanks for the suggestion!

Such a nice little mod. Hopefully you do get to update it with more features.
