My idea is an idea for a new generator my idea is for a hand cranked generator that you rapidly right click to power and there should be more powerful versions of it just like the stronger solar panels so each right click is worth more also when you get close to the max amount of power you can get from right clicking this block the texture should start changing to look like it's turn and eventually might even look red like it's really hot this also should be able to register other players right clicking it so you can have multiple people really getting the generator going to produce lots of energy i just thought this would be a good idea and you can try it now and maybe have a more permanent solution with no bugs. I would make a patch myself but have no knowledge of creating mods for minecraft I hope you enjoy my idea I don't even care if if I get credit. The crafting recipe could be a machine block or a generator in the bottom left corner of the crafting table and then 2 stick going diagonally up-right and then an iron bar in the middle of the right row and to upgrade to better versions you could surround a lv transformer with these hand crank generators to make lv and surround a mv transformer with lv generators and so on and so forth it would look like this for the upgrade
