<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
A windmill is a multi-block structure used to harness wind and transform it into mechanical power. Currently, wind power can be used to automate {{ll|Quern|querns}}, {{ll|Helve hammer |helve hammers}}, and {{ll|Pulverizer|pulverizers}}. Out of these, only the quern can be used manually, without any need for mechanical power.

==Considerations for the Structure==
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
===Clearance===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
A structure with sufficient height and clearance is needed to accommodate the sails, the power train, and associated equipment e.g. quern, helve hammer, etc. Sails too low to the ground may not receive enough wind speed to generate any wind power, likewise, a structure with insufficient clearance might deter the sails from rotating correctly.  A windmill can be added onto existing structures as long as it meets the previously mentioned qualifications.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
===Height and Location===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The location and height of the structure can also affect the amount of power generated. On a technical level, wind speed varies from region to region and is linearly interpolated between the 4 nearest weather regions, for a given block location. Windspeed will increase by 1% per block above your world's sea level + 10. So if you have a standard world of 256 height, your sea level will be 110. At Y-level 121, you will get 1% additional wind speed. The maximum bonus is 50%.
Conversely, wind speeds below sea level are reduced 50% at 4 blocks below and 66% at 8 blocks below, rapidly decreasing towards 100% reduction. Note that wind speeds will naturally vary at times and there may be no wind at all at other times.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
==Materials==
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To create a windmill, a player needs:
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
===Windmill rotor===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The mechanism that supports the rotating sails. Each windmill requires one rotor to work, and each rotor can support up to 5 sets of sails.

== Building the Windmill ==
</div>

The windmill requires at least 5 blocks of vertical space between the rotor and the ground or any other solid block to accommodate a full complement of 5 sets of Sails.

| <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Place one wooden axle on the top or side of the building you’re planning on turning into a windmill. It’s recommended this be the first part you place since it will help keep the rotor suspended outside the building while attaching it to the axle. This suspended rotor will provide the space needed for the sails to rotate adequately.</span>
|-
|[[File:Sail.png|48px]]
|<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Next, sails are added to the rotor in sets of four (one for each windmill blade), with the maximum adding up to 20 sails in total.</span>
|-
|[[File:Angled_Gears.png|48px]]
|<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Once this setup is complete all that’s left is direct the mechanical power where you want it, using axles to extend it, and angled gears to turn in a right angle if need be.</span>
