Water Wheel Upgrades adds a part based upgrade system to the new electrical waterwheels, allowing it's performance to be improved. Each part type has 3 tiers.

Players can open an upgrade interface by right clicking on the wheel while holding a hammer, install custom parts by dragging them into specific slots, and improve both in-water and manual wheel performance through a simple interface.

Each upgrade part affects the wheel’s stats, allowing you to tune in water output, manual output, efficiency, movement behavior, and metabolism costs. Parts are matched to their proper module slots, upgrades are saved per wheel, and all changes are applied directly to the entity in a lightweight, persistent system.

The plugin also includes optional loot crate support, letting you control whether upgrade parts can appear in loot containers and set per container drop chances for each tier. Alternatively the parts can be added to any of your existing systems such as shops or crafting plugins.

The upgrade parts are all configured in the config, with unique icons and stats, allowing you to quickly deploy this functionality to yourt server.

As with most of my content, localization is possible with a default English lang file being included.

The part shortname and skins are all pre-configured but can be modified, or replaced with items from my Custom Item Manager
