Solar Panel Upgrades adds a part-based upgrade system to electrical solar panels, allowing their performance to be enhanced through modular components. Each part type includes 3 tiers of progression.
Players can open an upgrade interface while looking at a solar panel and holding a hammer, then install custom parts by dragging them into specific slots. The menu input button is fully configurable, supporting RELOAD, USE, MIDDLE CLICK, and RIGHT CLICK.
Each upgrade part modifies the panel’s behavior, letting you fine-tune max output, sun angle efficiency, low-light performance, and damage power retention through a simple and intuitive interface. Upgrades are saved per panel, and all changes are applied directly to the entity in a lightweight and persistent system.
The plugin also includes optional loot crate support, allowing you to control whether upgrade parts spawn in containers and define per-container drop chances for each tier. Alternatively, parts can be integrated into your existing systems such as shops or crafting plugins.
All upgrade parts are fully configurable, including their stats and visuals, making it easy to adapt the system to your server’s balance and progression. A default English localization file is included, with full support for custom translations.
Part shortnames and skins are pre-configured but can be modified or replaced with items from systems like Custom Item Manager.
