Manufacturing Netherrack and Calcite with a Mechanical Mixer

Building blocks and decorative stones like netherrack and calcite can be produced in bulk using a Mechanical Mixer and a Basin.

Mixing Calcite Blocks

Calcite normally requires finding deep amethyst geodes or specific stone bands, but it can be stirred mechanically:

1. Place a Basin on the ground and position a Mechanical Mixer directly above it.

2. Connect rotational power to the mixer so it can operate.

3. Feed regular stone blocks and quartz items into the Basin using chutes, belts, or hoppers.

4. The mixer will blend the stone and quartz together to create calcite blocks.

5. Extract the finished calcite using a chute or mechanical arm attached to the side or bottom of the Basin.

Mixing Netherrack Blocks

You can generate netherrack without traveling to the Nether by combining common minerals:

1. Use a standard mixer and basin arrangement powered by your kinetic network.

2. Deposit gravel and redstone dust into the Basin.

3. Ensure the mixer is running; it will process the mixture into netherrack blocks.

4. Pipe or convey the netherrack out to your storage or into subsequent crushing and compacting lines to fuel other setups.
