The mixer is a machine which take in up to four fluids and outputs one fluid. Additional recipes can be added with data packs. The mixer requires Forge Energy to work. Energy is used at a fixed rate while the machine is working, and no energy while it is not.

Recipes can be added with data packs. These go in the recipes folder, same as item-based recipes. The recipe type is silents_mechanisms:mixing. The format is detailed below. Ingredients support specific fluids or fluid tags.

• process_time - The time (in ticks) required to process one bucket of feedstock
• ingredients - The input ingredients, can have up to four. Similar to vanilla recipes ingredients, this can contain either fluid for a specific fluid ID, or tag to match fluids in a tag. Can have an optional amount.
  • (objects)
    • fluid - The fluid ID (examples: minecraft:water, silents_mechanisms:oil, etc)
    • tag - A fluid tag (examples: forge:oil, etc)
    • amount (optional) - Amount required, defaults to 1000 mB (1 bucket)
• result - Output fluid, contains the fluid ID and amount (in millibuckets, or mB)
  • fluid - The fluid ID (examples: minecraft:water, silents_mechanisms:oil, etc)
  • amount - Amount of fluid (in mB) produced per bucket of feedstock
