About this project
What does Primitive Utilities add?
Note: This mod requires FCLib and GeckoLib to run
This mod adds a few primitive "machines" to the game, including a millstone(item to item), a chopping block(item to item), a drying rack(item to item), and a basin(item fluid to item). This is somewhat inspired by Primal Tech
There are no default recipes for these machines at all. You can add recipes with datapacks. Examples can be found in the datapack_example folder in the source code.
On where to place the recipe jsons, use a datapack loader mod such as KubeJS or Global packs, or put it in a zip and reference the minecraft fandom wiki here
Sidenote: To remove items from the drying rack, you need to press shift+rightclick. If you use the mod carryon, you need to blacklist the item in the serverconfigs (carryon-server.toml).
Each machine can be disabled in the config file (primutils.json) found in the config directiory
