Quark Automation
Quark introduces several redstone-compatible blocks and mechanics to streamline technical builds and item management.
Key Automation Blocks
| Block | Function | Crafting Key Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| Chute | Drops items precisely in the center of the block below it. Can be disabled with redstone. | Iron Ingots, Planks |
| Ender Watcher | Emits a redstone signal when a player looks directly at it. | Eye of Ender, Obsidian, Redstone |
| Feeding Trough | Automatically breeds animals when filled with appropriate food. | Planks, Fence Gates |
| Iron Rod | When pushed by a piston, it acts as a drill, breaking the block in front of it. | Iron Ingots, End Rod |
| Gravisand | Sand that only falls when powered by redstone; if it cannot fall, it floats upward. | Sand, Ender Pearl |
| Weather Sensor | Emits a signal during rain or snow. | Purpur, Glass, Obsidian/Biotite |
Advanced Mechanics
- Pistons Move Tile Entities: Pistons can now move blocks that store data, such as Chests, Furnaces, Hoppers, and Brewing Stands. If a block is moved to an invalid position, it will break and drop its contents.
- Chains Connect Blocks: Chains can link blocks together. When a piston moves a block attached to a chain, the chain will pull the connected block along with it.
- Dispensers Place Blocks: Dispensers are upgraded to place most standard blocks in front of them, including crops like Wheat Seeds and Potatoes.
- Color Slime Blocks: Slime blocks can be dyed. Different colors of slime blocks will not stick to each other, allowing for more compact and complex flying machines.
