Concrete Mixer

Tired of placing concrete powder next to water, scooping the result, and repeating?

The Concrete Mixer is a single-block solution that crafts colored concrete blocks furnace-style. No power required, no setup, just feed it materials and water.

Two crafting paths

Raw recipe — mimics vanilla concrete crafting in one machine:

4 sand + 4 gravel + 1 dye + 1000 mB water → 4 concrete blocks (12 seconds)
Inputs go in any of the 3 input slots, any order

Powder shortcut — for when you already have concrete powder:

1 concrete powder + 250 mB water → 1 concrete block (3 seconds)
Matches vanilla intuition — 1 powder + water = 1 concrete

Features

10-bucket water tank (10,000 mB) — fill via vanilla buckets OR any mod's fluid-storing item (Tech Reborn cells, Mekanism portable tanks, etc.)
Fluid pipe compatibility — any pipe mod using standard fluid capabilities (Pipez, Create, Mekanism, EnderIO, etc.) can pump water into the tank
Jade / WAILA compatibility — hover the block to see tank contents
Status indicators — GUI shows Mixing / Idle / Needs water / Output full / Color mismatch / Disabled (redstone) so you always know what the mixer is doing
Hopper compatibility — push inputs from the top/sides, pull output from the bottom, refill buckets from the sides
Color-lock output — output slot accepts only one color at a time, so you can leave a mixer mid-batch without worrying about color mixing
Redstone control — apply a signal to pause; remove to resume (progress preserved)
Single tier, no-power design — craftable mid-game and immediately useful
Contents preserved on break — break a loaded mixer with a pickaxe, re-place, all inventory intact

Recipe

8 iron ingots ringing a cauldron in a crafting table → 1 Concrete Mixer.
