The windmill requires at least 5 blocks of vertical space. | The windmill requires at least 5 blocks of vertical space between the rotor and the ground or any other solid block. | ||
* Rotor: The rotor should be placed on a tower or the side of a tall building. When building, it may be simpler to place the first axle on the top of the block and attach the rotor to the placed axle. This placement will suspend the rotor empty blocks ''outside'' the building. This space is required to attach the sails. | * Rotor: The rotor should be placed on a tower or the side of a tall building.

* Sails: Sails are added in sets of four (one for each windmill blade). Up to four sets of sails (16 sails or 4 sets of 4) can be attached to the rotor. Each set of sails will increase the power output by 25% and require one full block clearance (per set). If the sails do not have space to move freely, they will break. Axles or angled gears can be attached to the opposite side of the windmill rotor. | * Sails: Sails are added in sets of four (one for each windmill blade).
