Create Cobblestone Deepslate Generators Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start making deepslate generators?
Place a deepslate generator block from your creative inventory or obtain it through the mod's crafting recipe, then power it with a Create mechanical system (rotational force). The generator will begin producing deepslate or cobbled deepslate depending on which variant you've placed.
What's the difference between deepslate and cobbled deepslate generators?
Deepslate generators produce smooth deepslate blocks, while cobbled deepslate generators produce the rougher cobbled variant. Both work identically in terms of power requirements and output speed—choose based on which block type you need for your build.
How much rotational force do deepslate generators need?
Refer to your mod's config or in-game tooltips for exact requirements, as this varies by setup. Generally, generators need consistent rotational input from Create machines like water wheels, windmills, or mechanical belts to operate.
Can I connect multiple generators to one power line?
Yes, you can attach multiple generators to a single rotational network using Create's mechanical components like shafts and gearboxes. All connected generators will run simultaneously as long as your power source supplies enough rotational force.
Why isn't my deepslate generator producing blocks?
Check that the generator is receiving rotational power (look for spinning animations), that it has space to output blocks, and that it's not jammed by a full inventory or blocked output direction. Verify the generator is enabled in your config settings.
Do deepslate generators work with hoppers and item pipes?
Yes, deepslate generators output blocks that can be collected by Create chutes, hoppers, item pipes, or other standard item transport systems. Position your collection method at the generator's output face.
Can I speed up deepslate production?
Increase the rotational speed supplied to your generators using Create's speed-boosting components like mechanical gearboxes or by upgrading your power source. Higher rotational speed directly increases block output rate.
Do deepslate generators lag my world?
Large numbers of active generators can impact performance, especially if blocks aren't being collected efficiently. Optimize by using item sorting systems to prevent overflow, and consider spacing out generator activation if you're running many simultaneously.
Will deepslate generators work on a multiplayer server?
Yes, this data pack works on servers. Ensure all players have the data pack installed and that it's placed in the server's datapacks folder, then run a reload command to activate it for everyone.
Can I use deepslate blocks from generators for enchanting or crafting?
Yes, deepslate and cobbled deepslate produced by generators are identical to naturally mined blocks and work in any recipe or crafting setup that accepts them. They're fully compatible with other mods and vanilla mechanics.
