Description
Manual Labour
This mod is all about bringing hands-on work back to your Minecraft experience. Instead of simply clicking a recipe button in a crafting table, Manual Labour lets you grind, hammer, crush, and mix your materials by hand.
Perfect for an early-game progression step before building more complex setups, or as a natural manual companion to Create machines.
The Workstone, Mortar, Pestle, Ladle and Hammers all work on their own, with a built-in set of grinding and mixing recipes. If you install Create, they instead use Create's own milling, crushing, mixing, pressing and deploying recipes instead.
Features & Workstations
The Workstone & Hammers
The Workstone is your primary station for hammering and shaping materials.
- Tiered Hammers: Craft hammers out of Flint, Iron, Gold, Diamond, or Netherite.
- Forging & Crushing: Place items directly on the Workstone and strike them to flatten ingots into plates, break down ores, or shape raw components.
- Durability: Higher tier hammers have improved durability.
The Mortar, Pestle & Ladle
The Mortar allows you to grind down ingredients and mix fluids.
- Pestle: Use the Pestle inside the Mortar to crush herbs, plants, minerals, and food items into powders and dyes.
- Ladle: Use the Ladle to manually mix mixtures and multi-ingredient recipes.
- Heat: Place the Mortar on a lit heat source, such as a campfire, a Blaze Burner, or anything in the
#manual_labour:heat_sourcesblock tag, to mix recipes that require heating.
The Millstone
Requires Create to be installed.
The Millstone is an aesthetic alternative to the Create millstone, inspired by the Wayfarer modpack. It supports all the same recipes and is powered similarly to the other Create machines.
Compatibility & Integrations
- Create: Manual Labour tools are designed as manual alternatives to Create's Mechanical Press, Mechanical Mixer, and Sequenced Assembly. With Create installed the Mortar also grinds Millstone recipes, the Workstone completes Deployer and Press steps inside Sequenced Assembly, the Ladle can stir a Basin, and the Millstone becomes available. Every one of these can be toggled in the config.
- JEI Support: Full recipe viewer integration for all Workstone, Mortar, and Millstone recipes. Works with EMI using TMRV.
- Ponder Support: Features interactive Ponder scenes to visually guide you through using each workstation in-game. Ponder is bundled with the mod.
Hammers
Hammer variants are automatically added for Caverns and Chasms and Oreganized ores, thanks to BurningSulphur!
