The cauldron also allows mass cooking of food and more. Having a functional Cauldron opens up more possibilities, such as the creation of Heating Elements and Filaments This allows creating the Hibachi and Light Blocks respectively. Additionally, the more fire in the 3x3 around the center fire the faster the Cauldron will process. Alternatively, if you have dung… It also works in lieu of bark.Ī Cauldron requires a uninterrupted fire source in below it, this can be from burning netherrack or wood if you’re really desperate. You need wood bark and scoured leather for this process, which the millstone can provide you with scoured leather, and as for the wood bark, taking an axe to wood logs as a crafting recipe, or simply punching a tree will work. The next step to using Mechanical Power is Tanned Leather, which is created in a Cauldron. With Continuous Mechanical Power now being produced, more machines are available to use. You need to have it directly hooked into it’s first gearbox. Do note that if you try to place an axle off of this windmill directly, it’ll break off. It’s advantages are that, other than allowing different axle placement methods, it works in the Nether and underground in the overworld, whereas the normal Windmill does not. (Check Gearbox for more information.)Īlternatively, the Vertical Windmill is also an option, which is a slightly more expensive windmill that needs a 9x7x9 area cleared, with 7 vertical axles. Be careful though, the Windmill has one major downside When the Weather gets too rough, the Windmill will rotate faster this will eventually cause the first Gearbox connected to be overpowered and break. Now that you have a Windmill, you must use Axles and Gearboxes to transfer Mechanical Power to as many machines as needed. The Windmill must be placed on an Axle and needs a 13x13 vertical area to be placed successfully. Once enough Hemp Fiber is gathered, create a Windmill to create continuous Mechanical Power. To cut down on the wait time for grinding hemp, you could place down more Millstones and hand cranks, allowing for you to alternate along a set of them, reducing your wait time. You can obtain Hemp from Hemp Seeds, which need sunlight directly above them, at this point in the tech tree.

Hemp is exactly that, put this plant into the Millstone to create Hemp Fibers, to make Rope or Fabric.

The next step is to make continuous Mechanical Power through a Windmill, to do this a strong fibrous material is necessary. This allows for manually powering certain machines directly, like the Millstone, for early production of further resources and parts. The first step to Mechanical Power is the Hand Crank. Mechanical Power is a simple gear-based system that can be used for many complex machines.
