Effortless Engineering

Our Communities:

Block Placer

What It Does: The Block Placer places blocks from its inventory into the space directly in front of it.

Power Source: It is automatically powered when it is within the active radius of a Tesla Coil.

How to Use: You can manually drop items into its inventory or automate the process using Conveyors.

Conveyor Belt

What It Does: This belt moves items, entities, and players (who are not sneaking) along its surface.

Power Source: It operates automatically when within the range of an active Tesla Coil.

How to Use: Simply drop items onto the belt. You can also connect conveyors to a chest for automated item transport.

Conveyor Splitter

What It Does: The Conveyor Splitter directs items from one conveyor belt track to up to three different directions.

Power Source: It's powered automatically when inside the radius of an active Tesla Coil.

How to Use: Place the splitter within a conveyor track. Then, add conveyor belts to the desired output paths to direct the flow of items.

Drill

What It Does: The drill is designed to automatically mine Node Blocks that are placed in front of it.

Power Source: It functions automatically as long as it's within range of an active Tesla Coil.

How to Use: To increase the drill's speed, you can upgrade it by interacting with it using an Engineering Wrench. This upgrade will cost experience points (XP).

Elevator Block

What It Does: This block transports players vertically, both up and down. To define stopping points, place Elevator Stop Blocks along its vertical path. Ensure there is a roof above the elevator to prevent it from ascending indefinitely.

Power Source: Elevators are always powered.

How to Use:

Change Appearance: Interact with the elevator using a Wrench.

Pick Up: Sneak and interact with it using a Wrench.

Move Up: Interact with it using any item other than a wrench.

Move Down: Sneak and interact with it using any item other than a wrench.

Elevator Stop

What It Does: This block forces an Elevator to come to a complete stop before it can pass.

Power Source: It is always powered.

How to Use: Place it adjacent to the path of an elevator at the exact location where you want the elevator to stop.

Gravity Gun

What It Does: The Gravity Gun can pick up a cluster of natural blocks and then launch them.

Power Source: It is always powered.

How to Use:

Pick Up Blocks: Interact to grab a cluster of blocks in your line of sight.

Launch Blocks (Attack): Interact again to throw the block cluster, which deals a large amount of damage.

Place Blocks (Utility): Sneak before interacting to throw the blocks. This will cause them to place themselves clumsily upon landing without dealing any damage.

Item Grinder

What It Does: The Item Grinder destroys items and damages entities that come into contact with it. If an XP Tank is nearby, the experience from the destroyed items will be stored in the tank.

Power Source: It is automatically powered when within the range of an active Tesla Coil.

How to Use: Be careful not to step on it!

Node Block

What It Does: A Node Block can be mined infinitely and will drop the specific item that is listed in its name.

Power Source: It must be mined, either manually by a player or automatically with a Drill.

How to Use: To create a Node Block, use a Node Creator. Place a full stack of the desired item into the Node Creator's inventory to convert it.

Node Creator

What It Does: This block creates Node Blocks.

Power Source: It is always powered.

How to Use: Place a full stack of any item into its inventory to begin the creation process.

Upgrade: Interact with it using a Wrench to upgrade it. Each upgrade costs XP and reduces the required stack size for creating a node.

Pick Up: Sneak and interact with it using a Wrench.

Spring Launcher

What It Does: This device launches items and entities straight up into the air. If placed directly beneath a conveyor, it can precisely launch items to another conveyor at a higher elevation, as long as the upper conveyor is immediately in front of it.

Power Source: It's powered automatically when within the radius of an active Tesla Coil.

How to Use: To ensure it launches items and entities directly upwards, look down at the ground when placing it.

Tesla Coil

What It Does: The Tesla Coil wirelessly provides power to all compatible tech items within its operational radius.

Power Source: It is powered by a standard redstone signal.

How to Use: To keep the coil continuously active, place a lever, redstone torch, or redstone block next to it. If your technology is outside of the coil's range, you will need to build another one closer to it.

Wrench

What It Does: The wrench is a versatile tool used for situational interactions with various pieces of technology in this mod.

XP Tank

What It Does: This tank collects and stores experience points. It gradually fills up as items are destroyed by an active Item Grinder that is located nearby.

Power Source: It must be powered by a Tesla Coil.

How to Use: To release the stored XP, you must manually break the tank.

This addon is compatible with all other addons, meaning yes you can make infinite items from any addon with the Node Creator. This addon requires no experimental features.
