Create: Ancient Collecting

# Create: Ancient Collector **Important Note:** This is my first addon adding a new machine. Crashes or broken recipes can sometimes occur. If you encounter any issues, please try restarting your game. **Create: Ancient Collector** is an addon for the Create Mod that transforms resource gathering into large-scale mechanical archaeology. Say goodbye to mindless branch mining—it is time to harness rotational power to exhume forgotten mechanics and treasures buried deep within the earth. --- ## Core Mechanics ### The Ancient Collector The centerpiece of this addon is the **Ancient Collector**, a heavy kinetic machine designed to patiently shave, scrape, and extract resources from the block directly beneath it without destroying it. To automate this industrial collector, you must solve a classic Create-style logistics puzzle: * **Output Urgency:** You must transfer items out of the collector immediately. If the output slot is full, production stops but the machine continues to consume Lava and Stress Units (SU). * **Fluid Conditioning:** Pump **Lava** directly into the machine's internal tank to soften rock-hard strata before scraping. *(Tip: Use a bottomless supply, as these machines consume lava rapidly).* * **Extreme Power:** Keep the machine supplied at **64x RPM** wich is 16384 su at 256 rpm ### Primal-Core Collector An upgraded version of the Ancient Collector designed to handle the toughest subterranean layers. Use this advanced machine to extract extremely rare resources such as **Netherite**. --- ## Shards & Extraction Recipes This mod introduces entirely new processing lines. By positioning an **Ancient Collector** over specific blocks, you can scrape away at the world's layers to extract unique **shards** rather than standard raw minerals. * **Flat Chance Drop:** Scraping has a small, flat percentage chance to yield a rare shard. * **Cores:** Collect and process cores to automate harder resources like Diamonds and Netherite. * **Shard Utility:** Different shards can currently be used to craft Andesite, with more functional recipes coming in a future update. --- ## Features & Integration * **100% Create Aesthetics:** Features a system to get the items by placing the collector on top of the core or block. * **Logistics Ready:** Works perfectly alongside Create's belts, chutes, and newest packaging systems for total factory automation. Note: some stuff is not going to be in the mod or be added because of a bug, --- ## Requirements * **Minecraft:** 1.21.1 * **Mod Loader:** NeoForge * **Dependency:** Create Mod (Latest release) --- ## License & Modpacks * **License:** MIT License. * **Modpacks:** Feel free to include this mod in any modpack!
