Mechanical Mixer

The Mechanical Mixer is a mechanical component that applies Mixing recipes and shapeless Crafting recipes to items in Basins.

Obtaining

Crafting

Name	Ingredients	Crafting Recipe
Mechanical Mixer	Andesite Alloy + Cogwheel + Andesite Casing + Whisk

Usage

The Mechanical Mixer is powered by an internal cogwheel, and will behave as one to any adjacent components, relaying and reversing rotation sideways.

The Mixer requires a minimum rotational speed of 30 RPM from its power source to work. Mixers will process ingredients faster the more speed it is given.

To work, a Mixer must be placed directly above a Basin, with a 1 block gap. When a valid recipe is inserted by throwing the ingredients in the Mixer, the Mixer will automatically combine the ingredients.

Automating Shapeless Recipes

All shapeless crafting recipes can be made automatically using the Mechanical Mixer by inserting required items into the Basin under the mixer. An example of such recipe is:

4

4

Automating Brewing

All Brewing recipes can be made automatically using the Mechanical Mixer by inserting the required items and fluids into the Basin under the mixer. Brewing recipes require heating with a blaze burner.

Mixing

The Mechanical Mixer may be used to perform mixing recipes, which are not possible to make anywhere else. Those recipes include:

Name	Ingredients	Mixing Recipes
Andesite Alloy	Andesite + Iron Nugget
Andesite Alloy	Andesite + Zinc Nugget
Brass Ingot	Copper Ingot + Zinc Ingot	2
Builder's Tea	Any Leaves + Water + Milk
Chocolate	Sugar + Cocoa Beans + Milk
Chromatic Compound	Glowstone Dust + Powdered Obsidian + Polished Rose Quartz	3 3
Crushed Brass	Crushed Copper Ore + Crushed Zinc Ore	2
Lava	Any Cobblestone

History

Version	Changes
0.2	Added the Mechanical Mixer.
0.2.1	Mixers no longer ignore items inserted during processing.
0.2.2	Fixed Mechanical Crafters and mixers not handling container items properly. Introduced a Brass Ingot mixing recipe. Gunpowder can now be multiplied in the mixer.
0.3	Basins can no longer be placed directly under a Mechanical Press or Mixer. The Mixer can now process vanilla Potion recipes.
0.3a	Updated mixer tooltip.
0.3c	Fixed mixers mistakingly ignoring recipes with 4 or 9 equal ingredients. Mixers can no longer process single-item recipes.
0.3.2	Dough can now be created in the mixer without the need of Buckets. Fixed mixer retracting after every operation when auto-output is active. Added sounds for mixing noises.
0.3.2c	Fixed mixer and press not checking for recipes once more after completing.
0.3.2d	Fixed 3x3 compacting recipes marked as shapeless able to be processed by a mixer.
