What is PowerCraft?
Intuitive yet powerful industrial mod Ideal for automatic farming and mob spawners Easier than other factory mods

Modules

PowerCraft is modular - consists of plugins, and one Core module. Because the mod is becoming really complex, modules no longer work separately.

General info, block placing, redstone powering Hold CTRL while placing blocks to build in opposite direction. I paid special attention to make it possible to build conveyors on top of other blocks, even if they have inventories. thus: You cant open GUI with conveyor, gate or machine in your hand. All blocks that react to redstone can be powered from either side, from above and even from below! Some blocks use Tile Entities and items with metadata to hold extra information. Thats why you cant cheat the from TMI.

TRANSPORT
Provides Conveoyr Belts that can move items and mobs. Many types of conveyors let you separate, filter and sort items. Chest and other Container blocks interaction is supported. Automatic Crafting with Automatic Workbench.

Hold SHIFT (sneak) and you wont get moved by belts. Recipes

Basic belt can be crafted also from paper, but with fewer products. Craft elevator with redstone in the middle -> DESCENDER. Goes down. Brewing support
As of 1.4-A, conveyors can intelligently interact with brewing stand - fill it with ingredients, water bottles, eject final potions and failed ingredients. Grey belts can fill buckets from nearby water (since 1.4-C even on sides under the belt), fill nearby cauldrons with these buckets, and finally fill bottles from cauldrons.

Experimental brewing lab. Iron Frames Iron frames are decorative blocks, crafted of iron ingots. They give more industrial look to your PowerCraft factories. You can put torches or ladders on them with no problem, and they look cool under conveyors.

Conveyor Belt Moves items and mobs. You can build corners using two conveyors, one leading from side into the other. Basic Conveyor Belt can store items into all Container blocks - on sides, above and under the belt. The only exception is Roaster, which cant be filled from above (for a good reason). It can also fill furnaces: fuel goes into fuel slot, and all smeltable things go into the upper slot. You can eject items with Ejection Belt. Clever insertion also applies to brewing stands - ingredients to the top slot, water bottles to the bottom slot. Belt can move MINECARTS! And store items into storage minecarts. You can not pick up items from belts, except activated brakes. Speedy Belt Speedy belt works just like the basic belt, but is twice as faster. It cant store items, which is sometimes required.

Redirector Redirector is a bit harder to understand, but it isnt that complicated. When it is not powered, it works just like the basic belt. However, once you power it by redstone (even from below), it will try to redirect items to a side. If there is no conveyor on either side, nothing will happen. If there is one side conveyor, items will be redirected there. And finally, if there are two side conveyors, items will by default go to left, and when powered, they will go to right. Nothing will go forwards in this case.

Item Ejector [now for minecarts, too] When its powered by redstone, it ejects one stack from the nearby container blocks (chests, furnaces, dispensers, roasters etc.). It needs an impulse (button for example). Ejector cant store items.

In the latest update, ejector can work with brewing stand. it waits for potions to be finished, and ejects all potions (not water buckets) and failed ingredients. Since 1.4C, ejectors work also for chest minecarts! Brake Conveyor This conveyor is very slow, and when it gets powered, it will completely stop the moved stuff. It can be used when you have problems with too high speed (from elevator, for example). Brakes are very useful when your items keep falling off your belts. Brakes are useful for conveyor-rail interfacing. It can store items into passing by storage minecarts - these with chests, while not moving them. Active brake lets you pick up items.

Item, XP & Mob Separator belt Separator is a selective item redirector (for filtering). Right click your separator to open its sorting GUI. It consists of two 3x3 areas: items in these areas will be redirected to the sides (left and right). Not matching items will continue forwards. NEW: Insert the same item in both halves to split stacks. 3 to left and 1 to right = of stacks to left, to right. You can chain multiple separators to get finer fractions. Mobs can be separated using their primary loot: gunpowder, bone, slimeball, raw pork, raw beef, feathers, rotten flesh, string. Use diamond to separate XP orbs (obtained using laser on roaster).

Detector Belt Works just like the basic belt, but it has a pressure plate on it. You can use both pressure plate types in the recipe, it makes no difference. Items and mobs are detected, and the signal goes to sides and downwards.

Automatic Workbench AW is a machine, but since it requires conveyors for effective work, it is packed in transport module. AW has a GUI, opened by right click. It is divided into two 3x3 grids. On left you can see a storage grid. What you want to edit is the right grid. you know this type of crafting interface from Workbench.The difference is that when you close AWs GUI, the items will stay inside. You can then feed your AW by conveyor, and once the recipe you inserted is recreated in the left grid, a product will be crafted and ejected through the door. Your recipe grid wont be changed. As of 1.5, if AW is built on stone bricks, it will hold crafting until a redstone signal is received (pulse). Then, one product will be ejected. This is useful for more advanced factories or shops with automatic supply.

Crafting one-by-one - workbench on stonebrick, signal from pulsar

Elevator Item elevator is needed for vertical movement of your stuff. It can also carry mobs and players. Items can enter elevator, only if the tube continues at least one block lower, or if there is air under the lowest tube.

Elevator will try to eject items if there is a conveyor attached to its topmost block. If you want items and players to leave in the middle, you have to power the middle blocks by redstone. This lets you build intelligent elevators for your skyscrapers. Important: Conveyor belt is needed in all stations. At least one brake conveyor.

Descender Descender can be obtained either by crafting elevator with redstone in the middle, or by crafting elevators with redstone on top. First option is obviously cheaper. Descender is an elevator, which goes downwards. It takes care of items movements and forces them to stay inside while being moved down. Bottommost descender wont let items go any lower, and it will try to eject items to nearby conveyor. In fact, there is an invisible conveyor belt in the bottommost descender, which moves items to sides. Descenders reduce fall distance and remove fall damage. This applies also for elevators.

MACHINES
This module contains 3 useful machines, compatible with conveyors. Stone Brick is used to determine the borders. (or obsidian) Machine placed on top of stone brick has range limited to one block. Recipes

Roaster is not that black in the game.

Place laser onto roaster for killer beam. Its detection beam otherwise. Block Dispenser (and hoe + bonemeal machine) Block Dispenser can build blocks. It will stop when it hits a Stone Brick. Dispenser can use hoe and bonemeal, and some other items. It can work together with harvester in a farm. One dispenser can bonemeal a row of crops, not just one. It can also place minecarts.

Block Harvester [+ automatic shearing machine] Block Harvester can break blocks and harvest crops. Harvested crops will be replaced by the seeds. Trees will be harvested completely (whole tree with one harvester), and replaced by sapling. Leaves wont be removed. Mushrooms on grass will not be harvested, so you can bonemeal them to get giant mushrooms. Giant Mushrooms will be harvested just like trees, and replaced by a small mushroom. Mushrooms on stone or other nongrass blocks will be harvested, making it possible to make a mushroom farm. Harvester can harvest minecarts, and it wont break rails / conveyors. You can extend harvesters range by placing LAPIS LAZULI in its way. It will then reach 20 blocks further, and it can be repeated infinitely. Or almost. Since 1.8B, harvesters can shear sheep. It is extremely useful, because wool will regrow after some time.

Roaster (instant furnace, or Nether Field generator) Roaster can be used for grilling your chickens. You shouldn't think its unfair. Smelting items consumes twice more fuel than the normal furnace, and it consumes fuel even if it is just turned on (slowly). This is the price for smelting instantly. If you place a conveyor on top of it, it will work as an industrial furnace. It is best to use brake for this. Conveyor on top of roaster can smelt individual items, and 3 items from each stacks. Brake can smelt up to 9 items in a stack. You should get more roasters in a line, or use some loop with separator on top of them if you want to smelt whole stacks. Conveyors cant store items into roasters from above.

Right click your roaster to open its GUI. Stack size is limited to 16, thus one Roaster can contain up to 16*8=128 pieces of fuel (two stacks). Fuel can be inserted by a conveyor from side or from below. It can set mobs on fire, so it can be used in grinders. Roaster does not emit light, so it wont disturb mobs spawning. Roaster with fuel inside is turned on by redstone (lever or wire for example), and it can be extinguished the same way. New: Nether field. When roaster burns netherrack, it emits red particles in a great range (12x12x4). This area, called Nether Field, lets Nether Wart grow in the normal world (overworld), and it also turns gravel into soulsand. This, however, takes some time and costs some netherrack. Nether wart has to be planted on soulsand.

Laser (XP harvester or beam detector) Laser sends redstone signal when some mob or player interrupts the beam. Since 1.6B, it detects also items, which is ideal for conveyors. Mount laser on top of ROASTER, add fuel and turn the roaster on, and you will get XP extraction killer beam. Be careful, it kills every living creature, including players.

XP will be dropped, can be moved by conveyors. In separator, use diamond to separate XP orbs. Laser will give you 70% of the XP points you can get by legit killing.

Mirrors for lasers Since 2.6, lasers can be reflected by MIRRORS.

Once the mirror is placed, use right clicking to rotate it. Hold shift to rotate it the opposite direction. As you can see, laser going through Power crystal changes color, which is not useful for anything, but it looks cool. Also laser gains 100 extra blocks power when it goes through Power Crystal.

XP storage (now with depositing!) Compatible with conveyors. Laser on roaster kills some mob -> XP orbs are moved by conveyor -> separator can separate XP orbs (insert diamond

in the separator - diamond means also XP here) -> This device will collect XP points. Right click to withdraw few levels. Click again to get more. When something is collected, it sends redstone signal. SNEAK + right click to deposit XP points. Dropping XP orbs on breakdown was removed due to a bug in original orb picking code. Just make sure the storage is empty before removal.

MILKING MACHINE (bucket in dispenser) Put bucket into dispenser, it will be thrown and milk a cow. Its a new PowerCrafts feature.

LOGIC
Recipes

Logic module provides logic gates and 3 flip-flops.

Logic Gates They are one-block chips, compact and powerful. Red arrow is always output, purple are inputs. Gates cant be cheated from TMI, you have to craft them. D and RS flip-flops have two outputs, so you can use them in both directions. All gates have one tick delay, which is needed for technical reasons.

T, D and RS flip-flop gates These three integrated circuits are flip-flops. T gate divides clock signal by 2, and has two reset inputs on sides. It can be used for counting, slowing down clock signal or other things. D gate has 3 inputs and one output: RESET, DATA and CLOCK CLOCK - when this turns on, DATA value is put to OUTPUT RESET - sets output to zero and erases the memory DATA - input data It may look a bit complicated, but you can quickly learn how it works put 3 levers next to the gate, and a indicator to output, and play with it. RS is one of the most basic circuits. It has two inputs (green and red), which turn the output on and off. You can use it to control something by two buttons - start and stop. Example of part of a 7493 integrated circuit (binary counter) built of logic gates: (next page)

One-shot circuit sends one short pulse once its input turns on. It lets you convert lever into button. Since flip flops are triggered by rising edge, you need these NOT gates at output. Thats also why you need the zero filling. When Ts are resetted, they turn zero and all outputs (after NOTs) turn to ONE, giving you the highest possible number. If you send one clock pulse to the input (using the repeater here), counter will overflow and turn to zero. You can also build linear counters and watchdogs with these circuits. They were strongly improved in 2.2.

PowerCrafts Crafting Tool - now with ALL BLOCKS!

Gives you all blocks Right click this device, and a chest-like GUI will be opened. You can then take gates, redstone stuff, machines and belts out of this chest, and the materials needed for their crafting will be taken from your inventory. If you want to get negated gate, get first the normal gate and inverter negated gate will appear. You can enable recursive crafting, which will let you craft almost all the gates directly. Recursive means that it will for example let you directly craft NAND gate if you can craft both NOT and AND. Its sort of more advanced and smarter, but in some rare situations it gives you fewer products than you expect - thats why its disabled by default. Just open config/PC_LOGIC.properties and enable it: ENABLE_GateCrafter_recursiveCrafting=True to enable cheating in survival, enable: ENABLE_GateCrafter_cheating-in-survival=True

Its in creative, thats why everything is available. Pulsar Pulsar sends redstone pulses. Right click pulsar to set period (Delay time) and hold time. You can add one tick by right clicking pulsar with a stick. Sneak while stick-clicking to make delay shorter.

Delay time = cycle length Hold time (on) off

Special sensors (DAY, RAIN, Empty+Full Chest)

These special sensors will turn on when the condition becomes true. Empty chest detector is very useful for larger factories. Its on when the nearby storage block is empty. Works also for roasters and machines. Craft Empty Chest Detector with NOT gate (on top) -> Full Chest Detector.

Special Controller This redstone device can be crafted since 1.8A.

Pig spawner controlled

Pulsar paused by controller

Special controller can force nearby spawners to spawn a mob when it receives a redstone pulse. It also prevents them from auto-spawning. Spawner wont work if therere too many mobs nearby. Spawner can also PAUSE PULSAR, and then resume it.

WIRELESS (radio etc.)

Radio transmitter an receiver. Portable transmitter (Radio remote). Signal lights Motion Detectors. Recipes

Radio Right click radio block to set its channel (use whatever you want). You can build more radio devices with the same channel, the signal will be shared (OR gate). Right click radio block with Remote to set the channel of remote. Each remote can have different channel.

Motion Sensors

There are 3 of them - for items, mobs and players. Mob detector detects all living creatures except Player - animals, monsters, NPCs. Right click sensor to make the range larger. Right click while sneaking (holding shift) to make the range smaller. Left-click to print range. Sensors send redstone signal when the entity approaches.

Signal lights (Control Lights) Crafted of one redstone and one glowstone. You can then dye them - with all dyes. Even black ;) Lights can be placed on each side: on ceiling, on floor and on sides. Light is almost as good as from torch. Since 1.8B, they should be visible in TMI.

MOBILE module
This is one of the most modern and most complex parts of PowerCraft.

Power Crystals
Power Crystals, created of crystallized energy, can be found below map level 15. These crystals emit low jingle sounds when you are closer than six blocks, which helps you find them. There are 8 colors in total:

All colors of power crystals can be found in small like-colored deposits. Crystals can be broken by anything you want, and you will get them as items.

Natural deposit of purple crystals. Crystals let you craft

Power Dust (fuel),

and

Activation Crystal

Mining Vehicle - Bulldozer or Miner

Miners are spawned in similar way to snowmen. You build 2x2x2 cube of Iron Cubes, except one upper side, where you place double chest. The whole structure is a 2x2x2 cube. You then insert some power crystals into the chest, and right click iron cubes with Activation Crystal. The structure will be transformed to Miner (entity).

How to use Miner Miner wont move or do anything until you insert some fuel into its chest. Power Dust is ideal.You can select one or more Miners for keyboard control - right click them with Activation Crystal. Right click while sneaking to open programming screen.

Miners Keyboard Control Numpad keys:

MINUS Mine down. 7 Enable mining 8 Move forwards 9 Disable mining PLUS Mine up. Use followed by Forward.

4 Turn left 1 Turn into blocks

5 Turn around 2 Move backwards

6 Turn right 3 . DEPOSIT into chest

O - Enable Bridge

P - Disable Bridge

DELETE - reset code buffer, align and fix position, free allocated fuel.

ENTER Run program and disconnect from keyboard.

Miners levels and special powers Level = number of different crystals in Miners chest. You can enable a special cheat using PC_MOBILE.properties. This cheat, EasyCrystals, lets you craft crystals by smelting diamonds, and then alter their color by crafting them. Here is a list of level specific super powers: NUMBER 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 bedrock (above level 0) (Wont mine void hole.) MINING all non-rock blocks. basic rocks, coal, iron gold, lapis, redstone diamonds, power crystals obsidian Anti-water protection Bridge building Smart torch placing Anti-lava protection Super powers

Bridge building builds bridge of contained blocks to prevent fall (into caves, for example. If you enable bridge for lower-level Miners, they wont build bridge, but will sneak - stay at the edge. Anti-lava protection fills nearby lava blocks with cobblestone or dirt from the internal storage. If any empty buckets are present, they will be filled with the lava before lava removal. Since lava bucket is great fuel, this can be used as an almost infinite fuel source in low map layers. Remember that if you turn Garbage destruction on, you may run out of cobble and lava fix wont work properly. Anti water protection works

exactly the same way - replaces water with stones and dirt from container. Torches are placed - if you insert them in the chest - with 4 or 5 blocks distance. Torches are always placed on the right-hand side of mined tunnel if possible. Fallback is left-hand side and then floor.

Programming GUI Right click your miner while holding shift - SNEAKING. You will get a programming GUI.

You can use the green line for smaller commands, while the upper text field will be saved when you close the GUI. The upper text field is multiline - you can use enter to break lines, scroll using mouse wheel or with arrows. Home and End keys work too. You can click into the text to set cursor position. Mining enables block mining, Bridge enables bridge building. Lava and Water filling options enable replacing liquids with dirt/stones from

the cargo storage. Enable Keep all fuel to prevent storing fuel (coal, wood) into chests. Tick Destroy checkboxes to collect and destroy specified materials. They will will be collected as usual, but not stored into the cargo chest. Compression automatically crafts sand to sandstone and diamonds and lapis to storage blocks. Torch>floor forces placing torches on floor instead of walls. This is useful for very large rooms where miner breaks already placed torches, which results in a large dark room (monsters!).

Programming language for Miners

All spaces and white characters in program code are ommited while parsing, so you can format your code with them. There is no height limit feel free to use ENTER and spaces for better code alignment. PLAIN COMMANDS Command F, B 5, -5 L, R S, N, E, W U Action Move forwards / move backwards Number of steps forward / backward Turn LEFT / RIGHT Turn to SOUTH / NORTH / EAST / WEST Mine one step forward and up. It lays half step if something craftable to half step is inside. Cobblestone works best. If miner stands on half step and you execute Up, it will perform Forward command instead. Mine one step down and forward, without movement. If you want to make a descending corridor, repeat Down

and Forward commands (DF) Q, (deposit), Store contents into nearby chest. Q command cant store (store) buckets, power dust and power crystals. If you check Keep all fuel in the Miners GUI, coal and other burnable items wont be stored. X, (halt) (M), (!M) (B), (!B) (L),(!L) Turn into blocks (iron cubes and chest with the contents). Enable, disable mining. You can also write (mining:on), or (m:on). Or symbols * and %. Enable and disable building bridge. (bridge:on) works too. Also with off, of course. And (br) works as well. Enable and disable lava filling. Its recommended not to turn this off. (lava:on) works too. Lava filling is available only for level 4+ miners. Enable and disable water filling. Works for level 6+ miners. It does something very similar to lava filling.

(W),(!W)

There may be some secret commands, secret simply because I forgot to mention them. And some that are not worth mentioning. Also there are lots of other aliases, such as (mi:on), (water:off) etc.

LOOPS You can use simple loops with constant number of cycles. You can also use variable (or formula with variables) as the loop count. (loopN: . ) Repeat N-times. Works for any positive number, even with more digits. Repeated code can contain loops or anything other.

(@N: ) Shorter alias for loop. Here is an example of loops:

(@50: 10L10R ) Longer syntax (loop 50: 10L10R ) And with variable a: (@a: 10L10R ) (@a+b: 10L10R ) (@a+15: 10L10R ) (@<a+15>: 10L10R ) < and > are optional in loop count.

VARIABLES You can use variables in Miners programs. Prior to any use of your variables, you must set its initial value. <a=0> Each variable operation must be enclosed in its own <> brackets. <a=6> <b=15> Supported operations: + * / % add subtract multiply divide and round to integer remainder of integer division

You can then use three different kinds of variable statements. 1) Getting a value <a> <a+15> <a+b> You can use all supported operations here.

<RND*15> - get a random number from range 0-14. <RND*15 + 1> - get a random number from range 1-15 2) Setting a value <a=27> <a=b> <a=b+1> <a=a+RND*17> <a=RND*17+b> <a=RND*15+6> All operations can be used in most cases. 3) Special syntax for setting a value This is a bit C-ish: <a+=b> - add B to A <a*=2> - multiply A by 2 <a++> - add 1 to A <a--> - add -1 to A Note that ++ and -- operators cant be used for getting a value.

Using variables in loops As mentioned before, you can use variables in loops. Variable as loop count (@a: UF ) or (@<a>: UF ) You can use any value-getting syntax here, for example (@a+b: UF ) Note that loop count is constant. You can not alter loop count from inside of the loop by changing the variables. You can even use RND*N syntax here. In case of loops, you can even use RND*var.

IF-ELSE statement The basic syntax of this statement is: ( condition ? true-branch : false-branch ) or ( condition ? true-branch ) Condition is typically a comparision of two values (numbers or variables). You can also use operators on both sides of the comparision. Example: ( a>15 ? U : F ) (a%6 = b ? R ) ( RND ? L ) This can be used for random mining with turns... (RND*10>=4 ? <RND*10> : (RND?L:R) ) You can use these operators here: = != > < >= <= equal to not equal to greater than lower than greater or equal lower or equal

RND in if-else statement returns Boolean values if used alone, thus it does not require range definition.

Example program - spiral mining

Set A to number of cycles <a=15> (BRIDGE)(MINING)(WATER)(LAVA) <b=0> (@<a>: <b+=1> <b>L )

Fishing Machine

How to make it Read the instructions:

Fishing machine will rotate the fish sucker and eject fish through the wooden blocks. If there is a belt connected, fish will be thrown onto this belt. One fish costs approximately one coal, but the catch time varies from 15 to 30 seconds. This works only if there is enough water under the fisher - 3x3x10 is minimal, and if this area is filled by non-water blocks during operation, the machine will break apart. The same will happen if you break the fence or planks. You can freely place torches or belts onto the Fishers blocks - they are still normal blocks, but are chested by the machine all the time. You have approx. 15% chance to get ink sac instead of fish. Programming the fish sucking screw a the net was great fun, I hope you like it :)

Ore Sniffer

If you want to mine safely, without risks from lava pools and monsters in caves, use this device. Right click ore sniffer on a wall, ground or any other face of some block, and it will tell you what blocks lay in this direction. Hold SHIFT for deeper (further) sniffing - this can reach bedrock from surface.

PROPERTY FILES
Power Craft is divided into CORE and 5 almost independent modules (LOGIC, MACHINES, MOBILE, TRANSPORT, WIRELESS). Each module has its own property file, which makes configuration easier. These files are stored in ModLoaders config folder:

.minecraft/config
Config files have .properties extension, but they are plain txt files, so if you have problems with editing them, rename the file to txt, edit it, and then rename it back to original name. Here is a list of all config files with default setup (next page). Important properties are highlighted.

PC_CORE

Factory ideas
Most of these factories use Pulsar for timing. Wiring can be done under the machines, it works too.

Cobblestone maker Flint maker (dispenser and harvester, connected with belts) All smelting and crafting recipes can be automated with belts (and roaster, if you want). MELON & PUMPKIN, SUGAR CANE, CACTUS, TREES, WHEAT, FLOWERS, MUSHROOMS (giant, too), NETHER WART XP farming is now possible with lasers and XP storage. Automatic potion makers Vending machine with automatic goods refill and paying by diamonds Storage Minecart filling stations Automatic sheep shearing farms with coloured sheep -> you will save your dyes! Automatic mining with programmed miners And, of course, fishing machine!
