Water Strainer Mod — Reference

Blocks

Strainer Base

The Strainer Base is the core block of the mod. It must be placed underwater with at least one water source block directly above it to function. It features an internal inventory for the strainer, bait, and collected loot.

• Function: Holds the strainer and collects items.
• Automation: Items can be extracted from the bottom using hoppers or pipes. Bait and strainers can be inserted from the sides.

Worm Bin

The Worm Bin is a functional block used to produce bait. By placing organic materials (food, plants) into the bin, it will slowly compost them into Worms and Fertilizer.

• Function: Passive worm and fertilizer production.
• Input: Most organic items and food.
• Output: Worms (Bait) and Fertilizer (acts as Bone Meal).

Items and Tools

Tools

• Garden Trowel: Used to dig up worms from the ground. Right-clicking Grass blocks has a 25% chance to drop a worm, while Farmland has a 50% chance.
• Efficiency Meter: A diagnostic tool. Right-clicking a Strainer Base with this meter displays its current efficiency percentage and lists the factors (biome, water flow, etc.) affecting it.

Bait and Components

• Worm: The standard bait for Fisherman's Strainers. Can be found using a Garden Trowel or produced in a Worm Bin.
• Super Worm: A rare, more effective version of the standard worm.
• Bait Pot: A utility item that can be placed in the Strainer Base's bait slot. It holds up to 80 worms and significantly reduces bait consumption rates.
• Net / Dense Net: Crafting components used to create the various tiers of strainers.
• Fertilizer: A byproduct of the Worm Bin that functions identically to Bone Meal.
