Anvil Craft FAQ

Begin by crafting or finding a magnet block, then place an anvil above it. Power the magnet with redstone to lift the anvil, and it will fall and process whatever block is beneath it. Check your first guide on setting up an anvil crusher for step-by-step instructions.

Anvils can crush hard rocks and ores into powder form when they fall on them. The specific blocks that can be crushed depend on the mod's material system—experiment with common stone and ore blocks to see which ones process.

Use redstone repeaters or comparators to create a timer that pulses power to your magnet block at regular intervals, causing the anvil to lift and drop repeatedly. You can also use hopper systems to feed new blocks underneath between cycles.

Yes, the mod includes a pressing mechanic that combines two separate blocks into a single block using downward pressure. You'll need to set up the appropriate pressing contraption with an anvil or similar weight mechanism.

Powder snow is used to crystallize materials during processing, transforming them into crystallized forms. Place powder snow in your processing setup to enable this crystallization feature.

The mod includes a rolling mechanic that flattens raw materials into thin sheets when processed correctly. Follow your guide on processing materials into sheets for the specific setup required.

Yes, the mod lets you extract liquids from blocks by applying heavy downward pressure with a falling anvil. Set up your crusher with the appropriate liquid-containing block underneath to collect the output.

Water can be used to expand certain items during processing, combining with materials to create larger or different forms. Experiment with adding water to your processing setup to see which materials benefit from expansion.

You need magnet blocks to lift anvils automatically—regular anvils alone won't create the mod's processing systems. Magnet blocks are the key component that powers the gravity-based tech system.

Large-scale automated anvil systems with many rapid cycles can impact performance depending on your setup. Keep your contraptions reasonably sized and avoid stacking too many simultaneous processing chains if you notice slowdowns.
