Energy

Name and Link	Description	Maintainer

EnergonRelics API	Energy API For The Mod EnergonRelics	TheBrokenRail
Energy	The standard Energy API created and used by Team Reborn	Team Reborn, modmuss50
LibPow	Flavoured energy API designed for flexibility	enderger

To answer a common question about the Energy API: If you are just looking for the API that is most commonly used because you want to support most other energy-using mods, you should use TechReborn Energy. However, this can lead to balancing problems because different mods take different approaches to how much power something costs. So if you care about balancing, or if you want to protect your energy system from other mods, or if you just don't care about working capacity between mods, take a look at the other options and choose the one that suits your needs.
