concrete-mixer
by kestalkayden
Concrete Mixer is a single-block machine that turns sand, gravel, dye and water into colored concrete blocks, working like a furnace.
What it does
One machine replaces the vanilla crafting step for colored concrete. Four sand, four gravel and one dye are placed in the three input slots, together with 1000 mB of water, and the block produces four concrete blocks in 12 seconds. A concrete powder plus 250 mB of water yields one concrete block in 3 seconds, which matches the vanilla powder-and-water reaction. The recipe is a raw recipe, so the mixer copies the vanilla concrete crafting logic inside one machine rather than adding new materials.
The mixer is powered like a furnace and needs a power setup, plus materials and water fed into it. A status display shows whether it is idle, lacking water, full or mismatching a color, and a redstone-disabled state lets players see what the mixer is doing at any time. Water can be stored in a 10-bucket tank holding 10,000 mB, filled with vanilla buckets, and the tank works with fluid pipes that use standard fluid capabilities, such as Pipez, Create and Mekanism. Jade shows the contents of a tank when hovered.
The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and NeoForge across the 26.1 – 26.3 range, with five release versions and snapshot builds available. The mixer is crafted from eight iron ingots around a cauldron and a crafting table.
