In this devlog, I introduce one of the most iconic parts of the Wayfind Industrial Revolution addon: cogwheels. These chunky mechanical bits aren’t just for show — they’re the key to manipulating rotational speed and direction.

You’ll learn how gear ratios work in-game, how larger and smaller cogs interact, and how to transfer motion across distances and around corners. I also explain the design logic behind the system, how it balances realism with Minecraftyness, and (most importantly) how gear ratios work.

Whether you’re building a multi-stage contraption or just like watching things spin at slightly different speeds, cogwheels are where it all starts to feel real. Watch the video and let me know what you think!
