Autowork
The author built this one for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Autowork expands Minecraft's vanilla automation experience with a set of simple and highly composable utility blocks.
Instead of introducing power systems, cables, or complex machine networks, Autowork focuses on automation through movement, logistics, and redstone.
You can build factories using item movement, airflow and minecart transport.
No FE/RF, just Vanilla+ automation.
- Build chains of simple machines instead of having several "All-in-one" machines.
- Build infrastructure; not magical pipes.
- No unnecessary intermediate ingredients just for the sake of complexity.
This mod adds some machines that assist you in making farms.
- Extractor - transfers items from one storage to another when powered
- Breeze Collector - collects items in front of itself and puts them in the storage behind when powered
- Drill - uses given tool to mine blocks in front of it
- Placer - places given blocks in front of itself
- Chutes - faster hopper alternative; has variation with filter
- Minecart loader/unloader - loads and unloads minecarts, making using minecarts for automation way easier
- Ticker block - emits redstone signal every N tick, configurable
- Distributor - made to evenly distribute items between different storages
- And Gate - emits signal when powered from both sides
- Transmitter - emits signal charge when powered, which can be caught by another transmitter.
- A fan block.
The mod also has built-in tooltips so you won't get lost while exploring this mod :D
This mod is great for those who want simple automation without complex concepts.
Heavily inspired by Create mod.
