How to Use the Magnet to Pull Items and Entities
The
Magnet attracts nearby items and entities toward it, which is handy for collection systems, mob farms, and keeping your base tidy.
Setting It Up
Place the Magnet where you want things to gather. Anything within its radius gets pulled toward the block, so position it at the center of a collection point or above a hopper. Items that reach it can then be funneled into storage with a vanilla hopper underneath.
Good Uses
- Centralize drops from a mob farm so you do not have to walk the whole killing chamber.
- Pull items out of water streams and into a single drop point.
- Gather loose entities in an area, such as animals that escaped a pen.
- Combine with the
Fluid Hopper if your farm produces both items and fluids.
Tuning the Effect
Check the mod's configuration section if the pull radius or strength feels too strong or too weak for your setup. If the Magnet is pulling things you do not want moved, relocate it or reduce its range. For item-only collection, place a hopper directly beneath so pulled drops fall straight into storage. Avoid placing it near your own storage or crafting areas unless you want everything dragged to one spot.
