Automate Mob Drops Like Slimeballs and Gunpowder
Converting Common Materials into Mob Drops
You don't need to farm mobs endlessly. The mod lets you synthesize drops like slimeballs, gunpowder, cobwebs, and ink sacs from everyday ingredients using Create machines.
Recipe Examples
Slimeballs are made by pressing sugar cane, bone meal, and water together in a Mechanical Press. Gunpowder comes from mixing sugar and magma cream in a Mechanical Mixer. Glow ink sacs can be created by haunting regular ink sacs through a special bulk recipe.
Set up separate production lines for each drop type. Use fluid pipes to deliver water, item pipes for solids, and mechanical mixers or presses as your crafting stations. Route outputs into barrels or tanks for storage.
This approach is especially useful early-game when mob farms are unreliable, and mid-game when you need bulk quantities for potions, dyes, or other crafts. Combine these recipes with your existing factory to create a self-contained supply chain.
