This is my second mod, and I want to use Forge Energy. Problem is, it's so new that I can't really find much documentation on it. So how do I do it?

Create an

IEnergyStorage

implementation (or use the default Forge one,

EnergyStorage

), expose it via

hasCapability

and

getCapability

and use it the same way you'd use Tesla or RF using the

receiveEnergy

and

extractEnergy

methods.

can you write a basic energized furnace on your turorial ?

What Shadows said, and for start you might want to extend default EnergyStorage to implement energy extractors and energy providers. Then store these objects in your tile entities and provide them in mentioned methods.

What is the difference in extending EnergyStorage or IEnergyStorage?

Extending EnergyStorage allows you to add custom method logic to specific methods without having to code the entire class. While implementing IEnergyStorage requires you to override all the methods and "add" logic to them.

That depends on what you want your TE to do.
