Dirt Alchemy Machine

Quickstart

Craft the machine, place it where its surrounding spaces are clear, then right-click any part of it while holding dirt in one hand and a supported material in the other. The machine produces one item of the selected material for each dirt used.

Try a stone or an ore material as your selector first. In Survival, each use consumes one dirt; the selector is not consumed. The output appears above the machine.

Overview

The Dirt Alchemy Machine is a placeable multiblock that converts dirt into a material you choose. Placing its main block creates the other parts of the machine around it where there is room. There is no menu: the item in your other hand determines the output.

What It Adds

• A craftable machine made of multiple placed parts.
• A hand-held selector system for producing one of 26 supported materials from dirt.

How To Use

1. Hold dirt in either hand and a supported selector item in the other.
2. Right-click any part of the machine.
3. Collect the output item spawned above it.

The selector stays in your inventory, so you can keep using it. If you use an unsupported item as the selector, the machine will tell you it cannot create that item. In Creative mode, dirt is not consumed.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the machine using the recipe above, or find it in the Functional Blocks creative inventory tab. Leave room around the placement spot: positions blocked by other blocks may prevent parts of the machine from appearing.

Abilities And Mechanics

Supported selectors produce the matching item:

• Stone: stone, cobblestone, granite, diorite, andesite, deepslate, tuff, calcite, dripstone block, blackstone, basalt, netherrack, end stone, sandstone, red sandstone, obsidian
• Ores and minerals: raw iron, raw copper, raw gold, coal, redstone, lapis lazuli, diamond, emerald, quartz, amethyst shard

Breaking any part of the machine also removes its other parts.

Progression And Strategy

Use whichever supported material you need as the selector, and bring enough dirt for the number of items you want to produce.
