The solidifier is a machine which take in a fluid and items. Additional recipes can be added with data packs. The solidifier 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:solidifying. 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
• ingredient - The input fluid. 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.
  • 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 - The resulting item, same as with crafting recipes
  • item - The item ID
  • count - The number of the item produced
