VM Computers FAQ

PC cases are made using a shaped crafting recipe; the plain PC case and the PC case with glass sidepanel are separate craftable blocks. Place the finished case in the world to begin building a computer.

The Ordering Tablet is a craftable item used to order computer parts. It is the starting point for obtaining components like motherboards, RAM, GPUs, and hard drives.

Motherboards come in 32-bit and 64-bit variants and are obtained through the Ordering Tablet. The 64-bit Motherboard is required for larger RAM configurations.

The mod includes 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB RAM sticks. Each is a separate registry item that can be installed into a motherboard.

Place a compatible RAM stick into the motherboard inside the PC case. The 32-bit Motherboard supports less total RAM than the 64-bit Motherboard.

The Hard Drive is a craftable component, and a separate New hard drive item also exists. Install a hard drive into the PC case to provide storage for the operating system.

Both are storage components used in a PC build, but they are distinct registry items. The New hard drive is a separate item from the standard Hard Drive.

The GPU is a craftable component that installs into the PC case. It is required for graphics output to a connected screen.

CPUs are represented as Host CPU divided by 2, Host CPU divided by 4, and Host CPU divided by 6. These are separate items that determine the processing power of the built computer.

The mod provides CRT screen, Flatscreen, and Wall TV blocks as display options. Connect one of these to a completed PC to see output.

Both the Keyboard and Mouse are craftable items using shaped recipes. They are input peripherals used with a completed computer setup.

Craft a PC case, then install a motherboard, CPU, RAM, GPU, and hard drive inside it. Attach a screen, keyboard, and mouse, then use the Ordering Tablet to obtain any missing parts.
