Minecraft Joules (MJ) are the energy units of all BuildCraft Engines and Machines. This is a list for reference about the MJ production and consumption of the different Engines and Machines.

Engines

Engines Max Energy (MJ) Energy Generated Max Input (MJ) Max Output (MJ) Piston Speed/Ticks to Extract
Blue Green Yellow Red

Conductive Pipes

Conductive Pipes Max Input (MJ) Max Energy Stored (MJ) Latency (ticks) Power Loss (per pipe) (MJ)
Wooden 1000 1000 50 0.01
Stone 1000 from each connected pipe N/A N/A 0.01
Cobblestone 1000 from each connected pipe N/A N/A 0.01
Gold 1000 from each connected pipe N/A N/A 0.001

Data for pipe capacity is currently incomplete.

Machines

Filler

The filler has a 40% chance of not placing a block but still using the energy it would have.

Quarry

The quarry's mechanical arm moves at a speed dependent on how much energy it is able to draw from the internal storage. The exact formula for calculating movement speed is 0.015 + Energy Per Action / 200, meaning it will move at a minimum of 0.015 meters per tick, to a max of 0.015 + 9/200 = 0.06 meters per tick. In comparison, this is approximately the same speed as sneaking.

While digging, the quarry tries to perform an action every tick, which is why the energy per action is lower than other machines.
