Mechanical Spawners
Mechanical Spawners, adds a new way of making mob farms. They work similar to vanilla spawners, but instead of using the eggs, they the essence of the mob, which you need to craft.
Crafting of the Spawners
In order to make the spawner, you will need to craft the spawner core.
Then using the spawner core you can craft the mechanical spawner with the following recipe.
Crafting of the essences
The mechanical spawners works with a new item, called "essence", which changes depending on the mob. First we need to create the Essence Vessel in a crafting table.
With the essence vessel we can start crafting the essences of each mob, which in this case only exist 8 for now. Using the brewing stand where potions are normally made, we will place the essence vessel and a drop from the mob. The objects depending on each mob are the following:
- Zombie: Rotten flesh
- Skeleton: Bone
- Creeper: Gunpowder
- Spider: Spider eye
- Slime: Slime ball
- Cow: Leather
- Pork: Raw porkchop
- Sheep: Wool
How to use the spawners
To place the essence in the spawner, you will simply have to put the essence of the mob in your hand and right click or use it in the spawner. If you did it correctly you will see how the texture will have changed, and the mob's face will appear. If you want to remove the essence either to change it or leave it empty, you must do the same but using the essence container, this will return it to its original state. You must make sure that there are no blocks touching the spawner for it to work correctly, since if a block is attached to it, it will not summon the mobs. This can be very useful when designing a spawner on and off system.
If these conditions are met, the spawner will try to summon 1 mob on each side every 5-15 seconds with a probability of 25%, this means that it may or may not summon any or 4 at the same time.
Upgrades for the spawners
In the next update...
Crops
At the moment the are 31 types of crop. This special crops drops the ore when fully grown and the loot is affected by fortune, so if you have fortune 3 in your tools you will obtain a lot of resources. The bonemeal does not affect its growth but the accelerator clock does. They work with the advanced hoe, harvester and tractor!
The crops arrive with a new type of blocks, the soil. There are 4 soil tiers: yellow, red, blue, and black respectively. You can see the recipe in the crafting table.
Crops also have a tier which comes in the name of the seed and this indicates in which soil it can be planted. Each crop has its own seed and can be crafted in the normal crafting table using the mineral and the base seed. (You can see al the recipes there).
The lava and water crop drops a new item, the lava ball and the water ball. They can be used to place water/lava, but since they are stackable they are more useful than buckets. Can also be used in crafts that use buckets of water/lava, and by using 2 of each you can craft obsidian.
Tools
There are a lot of new tools in this addon, they have unique functions or abilities that can help you in your survival. Like the advanced tool that works as a vein.
The advanced shovel is faster than the normal shovel and can remove large areas of gravel quickly
Crafting
Recipes Examples:
The advanced axe has the ability to cut down a tree very quickly.
Crafting
Recipes Examples:
The advanced pickaxe works like a vein miner, this makes easier and fast to break all ores, andesite, granite and diorite.
Crafting
Recipes Examples:
The Advanced hoe is used to till a 3x3 of dirt into farmland so you can make larger crop areas much easier and faster. It can also automatically farm in a 3x3 block area without the need to replant all crops and just with one click.
AIOTs (All In One Tool) work like a sword, axe, pickaxe, shovel and hoe in one tool, they are faster and stronger than vanilla tools
Crafting
Recipes Examples:
The paxel works as a pickaxe, axe and shovel in 1 tool, they have the same durability and speed as vanilla tools
Crafting
Recipes Examples:
When you create this pickaxe, it's automatically enchanted with Fortune V, so it's really useful for mining.
Crafting
The hammer works like a normal pickaxe, but it has the ability to dig obsidian, criying obsidian, ancient debris and netherite block fairly quickly.
Crafting
Recipes Examples:
The drill digs a 3x3x3 cube around the player when used.
The heavy drill works similar to the drill but it digs a 5x5x5 around the player, very useful for mining large areas.
Crafting
With this peak when mining the gold, iron or copper ore it will give you its respective ingot and when mining the ancient debris it will give you the netherite scrap without using a furnace, it also has a great speed surpassing the golden pickaxe.
Crafting
Machines and Automation
There are several machines or automation blocks in the addon right now, each of them has a special function which serves to automate different processes in your world and so you can make way for the machinery.
The addon machines are the harvester, crusher, autosieve and the block breaker. You can place them in any direction for better organization. These are crafted on the normal table and at the moment they do not need energy to work, you just place them and they would be working.
This block is used to harvest any type of crop automatically, when placed it will harvest and plant the crops that are in a 3x3 (increases with upgrades) area in front of it every 30 seconds, the items will not be stored so you will have to devise a way to collect them ( ender hopper).
To upgrade the harvester you only need to right click it with the item upgrade.
Examples of how you can put the harvester, note that the direction will depend on where the black dot points with the 4 marks is facing.
The crusher is used to convert cobblestone to gravel, gravel to sand, sand to dirt and netherrack to crushed netherrack. You can put items with a hopper and these will be deposited in any store in front of them (If there is nothing the item will be crushed and will not give anything).
These can be placed in all directions and can also be connected in series so that you can generate the 3 blocks easily and without taking up so much space. Just make sure this points to where you want to deposit the item.
This together with the crusher is a very good combo to get resources, the autosieve is used to filter gravel, sand, dirt, grass, soulsand and crushed netherrack and from them generate different resources depending on the block. Its use is similar to the crusher, you can put items with a hopper and even accept the items directly from the crusher by putting it in front of it, the filtered resources will be deposited in any store that is in front of it. Just take into account the number of crusher depending of what block you want to filter.
This is a simple machine, when placed it breaks the block that has the front at a considerable speed, quite useful to use it in different farms or convert concrete very quickly. (Simple example)
This is really useful when you want to transport items in all directions. Not like the hoppers than cant go up, and is really cool that you can see the items moving around your construction.
The cobblestone generator has 5 tiers, which are iron, gold, emerald, diamond and netherite respectively. Each tier slightly increases the production speed of the generator. These have a conduit on one side of the block which indicates where the generated cobblestone will be kept, to collect it simply put a chest, shulker, etc. on that side and it will automatically be stored inside. They can be placed in all directions so you won't have problems accommodating them
Craft
The speeds of the cobblestone generators are as follows
Cobblestone Tier 1: 0.5 per second
Cobblestone Tier 2: 1 per second
Cobblestone Tier 3: 2 per second
Cobblestone Tier 4: 4 per second
Cobblestone Tier 5: 20 per second
Ender Hopper
You will need a hopper below to move the items!
The ender hopper can pick up items that are nearby, it has 2 ranges: 3 and 5 block radius. To change the ranges you have to interact at the top while crouching and the area reached will appear for a few seconds. To turn it off and on is the same but with the wrench in hand. If you want to open the inventory you just have to interact while standing still.
Mob Grinder
The mob grinder works similar to a trident killer, it causes constant damage to the mobs until they are killed, they drop experience and their loot, so you can pick it up with the xp magnet and the ender hopper.
Fans
They push the mobs in the direction you are pointing, with several of these you can move them great distances without many complications, or push them into the mob grinder to kill them.
Xp Magnet
This block will collect nearby xp orbs , it has a radius of 10 blocks. This can be used in mob farms so you could be in a safe zone collecting all the xp.
Mob Trap
When a mob touch the trap it will be immobilized for 10 seconds and the trap will be deactivated, to activate it you just have to right click and it will be ready to be used again
Bonsais
The bonsai can be used with the 4 types of soils of the addon, the better the soil, the more resources it will drop. You just have to place the bonsai and click on the top with the soil in your hand, then using the treated sapling (it is crafted with a normal sapling) your tree will start to grow in a few seconds.
Sieve
This is the manual version of the autosieve, after crafting and placing it, you must interact on top of the sieve with one of the 4 types of mesh to place it, and then simply using gravel, dirt or sand it will be filtered and can drop different loot. The better the mesh, the more likely it will drop something, the types of mesh are string, iron, diamond and netherite and they are crafted on the normal table. You can use the hammer to break down cobble all the way down to sand, similar to the crusher but manually. (You can use gravel, dirt, sand, grass, soulsand and crushed netherrack)
New Items, blocks and more
UtilityCraft adds a wide variety of items, such as elevators, vehicles, explosives, among others.
Ore Igniter
When you have this item on your second hand, it'll smelt all the ores automatically from your inventory.
Smeltflare
This item is used to smelt raw ores and veins of ores from your inventory, without using the furnace (this item has only have one use).
This are some examples of the things you can make:
Infinite Ender Pearl
This Infinite Ender Pearl can be thrown infinite times (It has a cooldown of 3 seconds).
Accelerator Clock
The accelerator clock speeds up time when you have the item in hand and you are sneaking. This is really useful to make crops or trees grow faster.
Throwable Explosives
There are 3 throwable explosives, the grenade which does not break blocks, the bomb which is somewhat weaker than a tnt and finally the tnt which is stronger than a tnt. They can be used to go mining or to annoy your friends.
Elevator
It has a maximum of 200 block, to get up you just need to jump, and to get down you have to crouch and interact with the block.
Sink
Its like infinite water in one block, just right click with a bucket and thats it.
Asphalt
By walking on this block you get a great speed useful to cover long distances when you don't have elytros. You can change the texture of the asphalt just by interacting with the block you want to use.
Compressed blocks
Are crafted using 9 of the original block.
Tractor
The tractor is used to collect all the crops that exist in vanilla and this addon. When the tractor passes over the crops it automatically collects and replants them, all items are saved in the inventory you have.
To place it you just have to craft it and right click on any block. And to remove it you have to right click with the wrench. At the moment the wrench only has one use and that is to remove the tractor and the drill but in the future it will have too many uses.
Mining Drill
A new vehicle to the addon, this mountable drill with capacity for 2 people is useful for mining or tunneling, and thanks to its inventory you can go mining in a more fun way and for longer.
Utility Table
All the tools of this addon are crafted on the advanced crafting table that is made with 4 diamonds, 3 iron, 1 anvil and a crafting table
Crafting
