Ole Saw Mill

Ole Saw Mill is an industrial 3D multiblock timber sawmill mod built for Minecraft 26.3 on NeoForge 26.3.0.48+.

Inspired by authentic 19th-century timber carriage sawmills, it brings high-efficiency lumber processing with in-world 3D animations, realistic dual-power mechanics, dynamic 2x plank yields, and realistic outdoor lumber storage yards.

🪵 What's New in v1.1.0: 2×2×2 Sawdust Pile!

• Massive 2×2×2 Multiblock Footprint: Covers an 8-block volume (2 wide × 2 tall × 2 deep) built with an industrial timber bunker and heavy cast-iron corner brackets.
• Farming Simulator-Style Continuous Loose Material Heap:
  • Replaced stepped voxel blocks with a continuous 3D loose material heightfield mesh inspired by heaps in Farming Simulator.
  • Smooth angle-of-repose curvature with per-vertex normals for photorealistic Gouraud/Phong shading and natural contact lighting.
  • Features 8 dynamic growth stages, rising from a gentle floor dusting to a monumental 2-block-tall sawdust mountain peak!
• Ultra-Realistic 2K & 4K Textures:
  • 2K (2048×2048) resolution texture bundled directly in the base mod jar!
  • 4K (4096×4096) ultra-resolution texture in the official HD resource pack!
  • Over 28,000+ individual procedurally simulated 3D curved wood shavings, curled fibers, fine pine/oak dust particles, aged industrial oak planks with annual growth rings, and forged cast-iron brackets with metallic rivet bolts.
• Adaptive Collision: Walk into the bay when low; climb the sawdust mountain as it grows.
• 54 Slots (Double Chest): Holds up to 3,456 items of Sawdust, Sawdust Blocks (9x dust equivalent), or modded wood dusts.
• Quick In-World Insertion: Right-click the pile while holding sawdust to deposit it instantly with soft dust sounds; right-click empty-handed to open the container GUI.
• Unified "3D 8-Bit Pixel Art" Icon Style: All 14 item and log pile icons overhauled to match the signature aesthetic from janemoose and track and trains (crisp 2×2 pixel clusters, dark outlines, 3/4 isometric perspective, and material-specific palettes).
• Automation Ready: Connect your Sawmill Conveyors or hoppers to any face of the 8 blocks to stream sawdust in and watch it grow in real time!

🌲 Key Features

1. 3D Monolith Multiblock Sawmill

• Operates as a 5-block linear monolith: 2 Input Conveyors + 1 Sawmill Controller Platform + 2 Output Conveyors.
• Formed easily by placing the blocks and right-clicking the controller.

2. Animated In-World 3D Machinery

• Spinning circular steel sawblade disc with cutting audio and flying sawdust particles.
• In-world 3D logs moving down the input carriage, visually splitting down the center as they pass through the blade.
• Sawn timber planks traveling out along spinning iron conveyor rollers.

3. Double Plank Yield (2x Planks per Log)

• 1 Wood Log →→ 8 Planks (2x vanilla yield!).
• 1 Bamboo Block →→ 4 Bamboo Planks.
• Supports all vanilla wood types, stripped logs, and modded logs.
• Produces Sawdust and chance of Tree Bark byproducts.

4. Dual Power System

• Solid Fuel Mode: Burns coal, charcoal, wood, lava, or sawdust on demand.
• FE / RF (Forge Energy) Mode: Internal 50,000 FE buffer (40 FE/tick while cutting). Compatible with standard NeoForge power cables and dynamos.

5. Outdoor Timber Log Piles (2×2×1)

• Multiblock log storage stacks for all 9 vanilla wood types.
• Dynamically renders 0 to 18 stacked 3D logs based on inventory fill level.
• 54-slot capacity with full hopper and pipe automation.

6. Byproduct Utilizations

• Sawdust Block: 9 Sawdust →→ dense fuel block (burns 10 items).
• Charcoal Briquette: 4 Sawdust + 1 Clay →→ 1 Charcoal.
• Paper: 3 Sawdust + 1 Water Bucket →→ 3 Paper.
