About Voluminous Energy
Voluminous Energy is a Minecraft Tech mod focused on adding new machines to the game. Focused around the concept of generating energy using a mix of novel ideas and familiar ones. Voluminous Energy, however, doesn't stop at generators, it adds all the machines you'll need to process materials either in the chain of getting liquid or solid fuels or as an alternative/replacement for other tech mods. Voluminous Energy features elements inspired by various mods from previous versions of Minecraft. The Voluminous Energy project aims to provide more energy choices and tech-centric gameplay to modern versions of modded Minecraft.

Oil Geysers: A large source of Crude Oil.
Oil Lakes in 0.5+. With perimeters made of Bitumen.
Underground Oil Reservoirs in 0.5+. Formed as ledges from cave structures, similar to some Aquafir structures.
Crude Oil Reservoirs fit naturally along side Vanilla Lava and Water Aquafirs that use similar ledge-style generation.
Natural Gas Reservoirs are rarer, but hang from the ceiling with an open bottom, due to the gaseous nature of Natural Gas. Added in 0.5+ for 1.21.1+.
Oil Lakes pre-0.5, with a stone surrounding.
Ores
Saltpeter Ore spawns in the Desert, in sand. Along with in the Badlands in Red Sand.
Bauxite, the chief ore of Aluminum. Can rarely provide Titanium through the Electrolyzer.
(Outdated) Old images of Cinnabar and Galena, the chief ores of Mercury (the former), and of Lead and Silver (the latter).
Rutile, the chief ore and primary way to obtain Titanium.

This release brings 26.2 up to date with 1.21.1-0.5 Alpha 2 and 26.1.2-0.5 Alpha 2.
This release adds Natural Gas, reworks how Crude Oil generates underground, and rebalances the Combustion Generator so liquid fuels are worth the effort of making them. Worldgen has changed a lot, so please start a new world to see it.

# Changes
This release adds Natural Gas, reworks how Crude Oil generates underground, and rebalances the Combustion Generator so liquid fuels are worth the effort of making them. Worldgen has changed a lot, so please start a new world to see it.
# Additions
- Natural Gas: a new raw petroleum resource. It's a purple coloured gaseous fuel. It is combustable in the Combustion Generator at 24 FE/t, making it better than Crude Oil, but worse than most refined fuels.
- Crude Oil and Natural Gas reservoirs: large aquafir-ledges-style underground pools of petroleum with a bitumin perimeter. Crude Oil reservoirs fill up to a flat exposed top, and Natural Gas reservoirs hang from cave ceilings to a flat bottom.
- Petroleum caves: small cave systems completely filled with Crude Oil or Natural Gas and sealed in a bituminous shell.
- Bituminous Gravel, Bituminous Sand, and Bituminous Red Sand: blocks that seal petroleum deposits. They don't fall like Saltpeter Ore. Mineble with a shovel, drops 3 to 7 Bitumen (scales with Fortune), or the block itself with Silk Touch.
- Bitumen: a new item. In the Centrifugal Separator, 4 Bitumen and a bucket give a Crude Oil Bucket, 2 Sand Dust, and a 25% chance of Carbon Dust.
- Crusher recipes for bituminous blocks: each sand variant gives 5 Bitumen and 3 Sand Dust, and the gravel variant gives 5 Bitumen with a 25% chance for a block of Gravel.
- Two startup config options for reservoir generation:
- "Cache Petroleum Reservoir Cells" is on by default and never changes what generates.
- "Fast Petroleum Reservoir Surface Sampling" is off by default. It's faster, but it may place reservoirs differently for the same seed. Recommended for lower-end PCs and servers.
# Changes
- Underground Crude Oil Lakes are now sealed Crude Oil deposits. They're completely full of Crude Oil and wrapped in a bituminous shell, instead of being half full of air as before.
- Surface Crude Oil Lakes now have a bituminous rim that matches the ground it replaces: Bituminous Sand in Sand, Bituminous Red Sand in Red Sand, and Bituminous Gravel everywhere else.
- Each Combustion Generator burn now lasts 1600 ticks per cycle instead of 400, effectively buffing fuels by 4× per bucket. FE/t ratings are unchanged.
- Stronger oxidizers are now consumed at a lower rate. Each cycle now uses 250 mB of Compressed Air, 125 mB of Oxygen, or 25 mB of Dinitrogen Tetroxide.
- Liquefying Coal and Coal Coke buffed: 1 dust and 500 mB of water make 500 mB of Liquefied Coal or Coke (previously 250 mB).
- More Naphtha from Distilling Crude Oil. It now gives 125 mB of Light Fuel and 125 mB of Naphtha per 250 mB. (previously 200 mB and 50 mB).
- The Centrifugal Agitator now turns 500 mB of Red Fuming Nitric Acid into 125 mB of Dinitrogen Tetroxide and 375 mB of White Fuming Nitric Acid (was 25 mB and 225 mB from 250 mB).

This is the first release of Voluminous Energy for Minecraft 26.2. It includes everything in 26.1.2-0.5 Alpha 1, including the Multitool rework and the new foliage recipes, and reworks the mod's Cinnabar and Sulfur around the Cinnabar and Sulfur that vanilla adds in 26.2's Sulfur Caves. As with the other 0.5 builds this is an alpha, so please report any issues you run into. A reminder: DO NOT BRING FORWARD OLD WORLDS.
# Cinnabar and Sulfur Rework
Minecraft 26.2 adds Cinnabar and Sulfur stone blocks, the Sulfur Spike, and the Sulfur Cube. Rather than having two unrelated versions of Cinnabar and Sulfur, Voluminous Energy now uses the vanilla blocks as its own.
# Cinnabar and Sulfur Rework
Minecraft 26.2 adds Cinnabar and Sulfur stone blocks, the Sulfur Spike, and the Sulfur Cube. Rather than having two unrelated versions of Cinnabar and Sulfur, Voluminous Energy now uses the vanilla blocks as its own.
- The Raw Cinnabar Block has been removed. Vanilla Cinnabar takes its place as the storage block for Raw Cinnabar: 9 Raw Cinnabar craft into 1 Cinnabar, and 1 Cinnabar crafts back into 9 Raw Cinnabar
- Vanilla Sulfur is now the storage block for Raw Sulfur: 9 Raw Sulfur craft into 1 Sulfur, and 1 Sulfur crafts back into 9 Raw Sulfur
- Cinnabar now needs an iron pickaxe or better to drop, matching Cinnabar Ore. This includes Cinnabar found in Sulfur Caves. The polished, brick, and chiseled Cinnabar variants keep vanilla's rules
- Cinnabar deposits now have a vanilla Cinnabar core in place of the Raw Cinnabar Block
- The smallest Sulfur Cubes now drop 1 to 4 Raw Sulfur, increased by Looting
- New Crusher recipes: Cinnabar into 45 Cinnabar Dust (with a 25% chance of 18 Redstone), Sulfur into 9 Sulfur Dust, Potent Sulfur into 81 Sulfur Dust (41 in the main output and 40 in the RNG slot at a 100% chance), and a Sulfur Spike into 2 to 3 Sulfur Dust (2 in the main output and 1 in the RNG slot at a 25% chance)
- Cinnabar Ore, Deepslate Cinnabar Ore, Raw Cinnabar, and Cinnabar Dust have been recoloured to match vanilla Cinnabar
- Raw Sulfur and Sulfur Dust have been recoloured to match vanilla Sulfur
- Sulfuric Acid and its bucket are now a pale yellow matching the Sulfur Cube, instead of grey
