Latest file for v1.18.5:
VSBiggerWindmill.zip 1-click install


Have you ever needed more power, but don't like the look of multiple windmills?

Or have you spent 30 minutes making a glorious building and tower for your new helve hammer, only to find the dinky default windmill looks silly perched on your magnificent construction?

Try the creatively named "Large Windmill", features:

  • 150% more torque per sail set
  • Up to 8 sail sets possible

(Above values are configurable)

Large rotors take an iron (or better) plate and large sails take a few iron (or better) nails and strips.
Large sails take double the linen of a regular sail (at default settings this gives a modest 25% boost to torque per linen)

Dos this work on the latest build?

Honestly, thank you so much for making it so we can use the small sails to make the larger ones w/ the same amount of cloth. I use other mods that allow me to have different kinds of cloth (like wool) which is much easier to get, and I can still make the large sails! I just make the small ones and use those in the large sail recipe lol.

I wish we could made 2 bladed or 3 bladed gigantic sails in this game

Thanks for adding the description. It would be helpful to have a link to the item in the description as well.😀

💬 MalerionAuthor, May 23rd 2023 at 5:56 AM

macoto_hino Thanks for the suggestion, I have added more description text in the new version 

💬 macoto_hino, May 21st 2023 at 9:04 AM

I am so happy to see a very nice mod come in, where I was disappointed because I had made the base of the windmill shed too big to fit it, and when I combined it with the vanilla windmill, it wasn't the right size.
It may be a bit confusing as there is no description on the item.


How about adding the following text?
"blockdesc-largewindmillrotor-north": "A large windmill component that allows for large sails to be installed.",
"itemdesc-largesail": "Large windmill parts. Up to 8 sets of Large Sails (configurable) can only be installed on the Large Windmill Rotor."
