Just Dire Things FAQ

Start by finding Blazebloom Goo and Blazebloom Soil, then harvest Blaze Ember from them to fuel your first machines. Use Blaze Ember to craft Blazegold Ingots, which unlock the basic tools, armor, and automation blocks.

Blazegold Ingots are produced by combining Blaze Ember with gold in the mod's crafting process. Once you have the ingots, you can craft the full Blazegold tool and armor set.

Blaze Ember is the core fuel and crafting material for the mod, obtained from Blazebloom Goo growing on Blazebloom Soil. It powers machines and is a key ingredient for Blazegold gear.

Advanced blocks like the Advanced Block Breaker, Placer, Clicker, and Dropper perform their basic action but with configurable filters, redstone control, and area settings. Place one, open its interface, and set the target area and conditions before powering it.

The Advanced Clicker simulates player right-clicks on a block or entity in front of it, useful for automating things like crop harvesting or interacting with machines. Configure its filter and timing in the GUI to match the action you want repeated.

The Advanced Polymorphic Wand lets you copy and paste block states or swap blocks in an area, depending on the mode you select. Cycle modes with the wand's controls and right-click to apply the current operation.

The Blazejet Wand is a mobility tool that propels you in the direction you're facing, similar to a jetpack effect. It consumes Blaze Ember or a similar fuel to keep you airborne.

Celestigem is the higher tier after Blazegold, crafted from Celestigem materials obtained through the mod's progression. Celestigem tools and armor are stronger, and the Celestigem Paxel combines pickaxe, axe, and shovel into one tool.

Time Crystals are used to accelerate or manipulate time-based effects in the mod, and the Budding Time Crystal Block grows more crystals over time. Place the budding block and let it develop, then harvest the crystals it produces.

Check that the machine has a redstone signal if it requires one, that its filter or area is set correctly, and that it has the fuel or items it needs to operate. Many Advanced blocks also need to face the correct direction, so rotate them with a wrench if the action isn't happening.
