Editing Mechanical Belt (section)

=== Moving Entities and Items ===
The Mechanical Belt can transport items from one location to another. Items can either be thrown onto the belt, and machines such as [[Funnel]]s, [[Chute]]s or [[Mechanical Arm]]s can place items onto the belt or remove items from the belt. A belt can also transport entities and the player. [[Diving Boots]] can be worn to negate this effect. You can also negate it while crouching. Items cannot be moved by vertical belts. The belt moves items at <math>\frac{75}{32}\times k \times a</math> items/min, where <math>k</math> is the belt [[Rotational Force|speed]] (RPM) and <math>a</math> is the stack size on the belt. Thus the belt's speed changes at a rate of 2.35 items/min for every additional RPM. For instance, a belt moving at 64 RPM will move 150 items per minute when the belt contains singular items.

If you need to transport more than 600 items per minute, you will need to use a [[Brass Funnel]] to place stacks of items on the belt. At 64 RPM, this results in a throughput of 9600 items/min.

A table of common belt speeds is:
