Automating Termite Harvesting with the Termite Zapper

Assembling the Termite Zapper Setup

Manually planting larvae and breaking down mounds can take significant time. The Termite Zapper (also known as the Bug Zapper) automates the entire growth and collection loop.

1. Craft a Termite Zapper block using the recipe displayed in Just Enough Items (JEI).

2. Place the Termite Zapper in a designated farming area.

3. Ensure there is space around the block for termite mounds to grow.

Powering and Running the Farm

The machine requires internal resources and a redstone current to operate:

1. Right-click the Termite Zapper to open its graphical user interface.

2. Place dirt blocks and termite larvae into the designated slots in the GUI.

3. Connect a redstone signal to the Termite Zapper block, such as a lever or redstone torch placed directly adjacent to it.

4. Once activated by the redstone signal, the Termite Zapper will plant the stored larvae onto dirt, let the mounds grow, and automatically harvest the resulting mounds.

5. Check the machine interface periodically to collect the automatically gathered termites and larvae.
