# Blocks

***

### **1. Utility Blocks**

#### **Vector Plates**

* **Purpose:** Move entities automatically when they walk over the block.
* **Features:**
  * Can push or pull items and mobs in a specific direction.
  * Compatible with item and mob filters.
  * Works in combination with conveyor systems.
  * Inserts Items into blocks its facing.

#### **Types of Plates**

| Plate Type                | Effect                   | Description                                                  | Notes                                                        |

### **2. Energy Blocks**

#### **Solar Panels**

* **Purpose:** Generate energy during daylight.
* **Features:**
  * Can connect to energy conduits.
  * Tiered panels (basic, advanced) for different power output.

#### **Solar Panels / Generators – Tiers**

| Tier          | Material     | Tick Rate (per sec) | Energy Output | Description                                                                                             |
