Auto Crafting in Minecraft 1.21 Snapshot

[@ThatMumboJumbo]

Just a note on this video; The obvious uses for this block are outputs from farms and mass 'simple' crafting (things like iron blocks etc.) I wanted to get creative and get a feel for how it works. Will be releasing some videos soon on more functional pipelines! EDIT: Hopper update order messes with this design when re-logging mid process. I've fixed it using some extra circuitry, but it definitely adds some extra confusion for people making these themselves.

Let me just ask (Im not as good at redstone so this might be a stupid question), why not use a comparator to track whether there is a bow in the crafter; then insert a bow? (Every time you activate the crafter and receive an output, put another bow in and THEN put all the other blocks in. Thus you can leave the cobble and redstone in the crafter). Would you not be able to just use 3 double chests (plus 2 to make bows)

This will revolutionize farms with being able to make items like chains and for me especially shulker farms and bartering farms will be upgraded quickly since shulkers are good for storing stuff and you are going to need to store soooo much stuff

You hook up a banboo farm and a string farm... Unlimited scaffolding!

[@dakotab]

I don’t think people realize how impactful this could be. Theoretically you could have a sorting system that automatically fills up every craftable item. For example you can make a tree farm, set up a bunch of auto crafters, then you could fill your sorting system with all types of wood products. And that’s only the wood. You can do all the stone bricks, etc

[@krinkrin5982]

Except for concrete.

[@algotkristoffersson15]

For things that can’t be uncrafted that’s a complete waste, the best use is to turn materials into their corresponding blocks for easy storage, like seriously how often are you gonna need specifically warped fence gates that you can’t just craft them by hand, oh also for stuff that relies on non stackable items like Mumbao does here in this video because those take a lot of time to make (honestly just let us stack bows as long as they have identical NBT and then use the same logic as stacked empty buckets to unstack them as durability changes) but like crafting golden apples is easy as long as you have the materials and is not something you do specifically for storage but rather only because you want some for your next trip/experiment/whatever situation

[@InkboundWhimsy]

These things just skyrocketed the number of farmable resources. Before we were limited to farming raw ingredients which we had to craft things with ourselves... Now we can automate everything that you can craft with those raw resources as well. It'd be really fun to try and make a factory that produces all manner of building blocks, or redstone components, or weapons and armor, all by itself!

[@tycho25]

Imagine using a witch farm to get redstone, a bartering farm for nether quartz, a bamboo farm for sticks, and combining it all into infinite comparators. Add spiders and cobblestone and you can make dispensers. Add an iron farm and a slime farm and you can even make crafters and sticky pistons. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Excited for the new block. Would be nice if the devs add a function to allow the player to lock in a slot that has an item in it to simplify the restone and potentially reduce lag.

Could be an interesting thing for the Hermitcraft stores. Instead of the "take item, add diamond(s)" thing they usually do, the shop chests could be built to dump the diamonds after the purchase and then replenish themselves automatically. Think of a redstone store with all the raw ingredients stashed in the back ... if someone buys a stack of comparators, it uses the dust, sticks, stone and nether quartz to remake the 64 just sold.

[@sagittariusa2145]

@@jesusrosales6888 Maybe if only restocking a couple times, but if you needed to do it enough, it might be easier to make the crafter and then just dump your materials in and let it restock itself

[@AndroidGames-cd8jx]

​@vaplex8732 but we also have to take into account that even one crafted item takes a few seconds(more or less 3 seconds to fill 9 slots, so if we divide it we get 3 slots per second, that is, with mumbo's dispenser machine, the time can certainly be improved), let's use comparators as an example, it uses 7 slots, so +/- 2,3 seconds per craft, multiply 2,3 by 64 and we get 147,2 seconds, or 2 minutes and 27 seconds, and if we add more machines to offset the crafting time, space can start becoming a concern, so I don't really know if it's worth it, not to mention that customer satisfaction would have to be taken into account, can't have them waiting too much after all

Dispensers were the first thing I was excited to use auto crafters for but not actually by crafting bows. I’ve always wanted the excess bows from a skeleton farm to have a useful output. It’ll be super nice to have all of your blocks compressed in storage (iron blocks, slime blocks, redstone blocks) not to mention all the stuff you’ll be able to do with furnace arrays

[@rafacrack8]

I thought used bows don't work to craft dispensers, but maybe you can repair that bows with more autocrafters

[@hephaestus_workshop]

⁠@@rafacrack8that was changed and they do now! A used bow won’t fill in the slot if you use the recipe book but if you put it in you can still craft with it.

[@Juicersen]

I haven’t gotten to mess with the auto crafters yet but I hope it doesn’t do what some mods do where if a bow has some durability lost, it doesn’t automatically use it in a recipe that requires a bow

[@dibblethewrecker]

My skeleton farm bows power a furnace/smelter with just netherack/ore in it. I don't really need the outputs but it's a simple way to make use of an unstackable storage filler!

you'd be able to do this pretty easily by simply swapping out certain materials in this build, infact its even easier than this one as the crafting table just needs 1 type of ingredient, so no timing stuff necessary like the bow

[@someoneelse2069]

Hypothetically, if: - You had a mob farm - A raid farm - A wood farm - A cobblestone farm With the wood being converted into sticks, and only keeping the restone from the witches in the raid, and only keeping the string from the mob farm. You could do this process completely automatically, sure, it wouldn't be as fast as crafting, but it is more or less afkable.

Honestly I find the best use for the Crafter to be in Iron, Gold, Emerald, and Copper farms. No more do you need to manually craft single resources into blocks for storage yourself. You can potentially afk at your farm 9 to 81 times longer now before an overflow.

[@hostile_prof]

You could also set up a bamboo farm to autocraft chests and then roll those over to a shulker farm to autocraft them into shulker boxes and then fill those with blocks before the full shulker is put into a chest, now you can in theory AFK basically indefinitely without worrying about storage

[@stephenrichter8940]

If you are transporting blocks of gold for a piglin farm for more efficient storage you can also split those back apart at the bartering system for peak efficiency. Also, you can autocraft shulker boxes from a shulker and bamboo farm in order to package and ship stuff for insane storage rates.

[@wisefries4205]

Even people who aren't skilled in redstone can benefit from this, like resource blocks and things like kelp and hay. Even extra useful for a nether gold farm, nuggets > blocks can be such a pain

For crafting at most maybe a single chest's worth of bows or so into dispensers, yeah, this might be overkill, but on the industrial scale that people like Doc, Tango, and Mumbo use components, this will be an absolutely essential factory to build. Crafting more dispensers by hand than you have inventory slots for bows is one of the most painful things in Minecraft.

And other such farms for other craftable items. Maybe you could even figure out a keypad system to tell the system how many items you want crafted at a time.

[@DaNintendude]

I think the problem with the skeleton farm is that you need bows with full durability. So you'd have to have bows craft with themselves for awhile before they're full durability and able to be used in the crafter. I thought about this forever over the weekend before I realized that string exists, and you could just use a spider farm + bamboo farm to make bows, lol EDIT: nvm, looks like you can use damaged bows (at least in Java edition). Not sure where I got the idea that they had to be full durability. I think the real issue was having to sort out all the armor pieces so that they don't interfere with the crafting.

It took me all day, but I was able to make a automatic bookshelf crafter. Movable tile entity’s on bedrock are really useful for the crafter.

[@DoenSnikduj]

Idea! Make a dropper and hopper system that dispenses an amount of items in a sequence. This should cut your nine(+2 for bows) chests down to nine three droppers, with one connected to the output of a bow crafter. Timing the items would be 4 cobble, one bow, two cobble, a redstone dust, and then either 1 last cobble, or five cobble to prepare the next recipe, picking up on the bow.

[@ИгорьДементьев-и7м]

it's called ROM.And there'r a lot of them on YT.

[@beez1717]

I think if you added in a simple item sorter, it would make the whole process better, especially if you send the sorted items into a sequencer using droppers so they can be pulsed in the needed order easily. For the bows, I'd use the same method but send them to a different crafter. You won't need chests storing items. This would work awesome for farms where you are looking for an end product and you don't need the resources to make it.

[@amr2002amrTM]

I remember hearing them talk about it being a cool concept before but never thought the day would come where it would actually be added into vanilla minecraft aaa

[@pedrorequio5515]

It is like Gnembon said it is not revolution. In my opinion it is a very complex manner to craft, and because the thing takes time to fill(its not instant) you cant plug a super fast clock or zero tick to it to make it extrordinary and its by design. Also the machine you must build seems to be recipe specific, like most people are unlikely to make a machine that makes a lot of things only the ones they actually need. Even the dispense example, I am sure he could craft dispensers much faster in a crafting table however automating it means its a passive task now, of course we will see machines with multiple crafters simultaneously working but this does not seem like the kind of thing you could tile so lets see.

It may be easier to just craft dispensers, but having a dispenser farm is a HUGE flex lol

[@arlen7726]

Mumbo on Hermitcraft with auto-crafting automation sounds like how Mumbo Jumbezos happens… Or how we get a Hermitcraft Pinky and The Brain scenario with Mumbo and Grian-

[@GeneralNickles]

I feel like the "just leave the items in the crafter so the sequence is right" thing can still work. Just have a chest full of bows with hoppers that flow into the crafter, and a detector circuit that sees when the bow chest is empty, and switches the whole thing off. You'd also need a clock that is timed to exactly how long it takes to craft a just shy of a stack of dispensers. When about 60 or so have been crafted, the clock tells the machine to switch from flowing bows into the crafter and starts flowing the other components in. Then when that's done, it switches back to bows. EDIT: Or you could just have two completely separate circuits that are timed at opposite intervals so you insert exactly 1 bow, then pause for some number of ticks, insert the other components (which are already in place so sequence doesn't matter), craft the dispenser, and repeat.

[@Exorbulla]

[@captaincookie72]

[@kitty_celeste]

This is the video I've been waiting for. Gotta love Mumbo with new redstone.

[@oaksparoakspar3144]

If you want easy dispensers, the best way is to just manually put in stacks for everything but the bow, put a hopper and chest full of bows (or manually set up the stacks for the bows in a second crafter) into that. Then, a simply clock to pulse the crafter will kick out dispensers until you have a stack of them. So, two crafters, placing 15 stacks of items (6 for the bows, 8 for the dispensers), and a clock that pulses the bow crafter then the dispenser crafter would work for a stack of dispensers at a time. Four repeaters and some dust for the looping clock, the first crafter making bows spitting them directly into the second crafter for the dispenser, and a container at the end for the output seems like the cheapest and smallest way that I can think of without trying it out.

[@wombat4191]

8:39 I think a lot of redstoners would rather build this, throw in the items, AFK for a bit next to it, and never worry about crafting dispensers again. So I think it's a success. Probably someone will build a simpler or faster one, but still, a success!

[@puma_09hcr23]

the video every single person called mumbo was surely making after the minecraft live announcement

[@ImSzzaass]

@ThatMumboJumbo Could you show the circuitry you used in a bit more detail sometime? I was toying with the crafter and managed to do something similar for rockets, with an aditional check for when the output chest is filled, but it was based on bufffering (keeping the crafter always filled with a stack of each material) since it's a shapeless recipe, but I'd like to try and understand how to do shaped ones "on demand" like you did. The ordered output was something I noticed as necessary but the whole disabling the system on lack of materials has me a bit stomped.

[@michaelray1895]

From what I saw, he actually uses the comparators next to the chests to power a redstone torch placed above the "re-trigger line" (which locks/unlocks the hoppers down below) and below the "start circuit" above (which tells the whole thing to start crafting). So: 1. whenever all chests have the appropriate item inside 2. all comparators are on, turning all the redstone torches off 3. which consequently turns off the redstone line on the top green wool 4. This line unlocks a hopper in a line of hopper loop that will trigger the comparator on one of the hoppers (since the item inside will loop around) 5. That comparator then triggers the auto-crafter 6. on the other side of things, step number 2 will also turn off all redstone repeaters on the bottom part of the green wool, which unlocks all the hoppers below the chests and each will take an item needed to craft the dispenser and flow them all to the auto-crafter 1. then when any one of the chest is empty 2. the appropriate comparator will turn off 3. which then turns on the redstone torch in front of it 4. which then permanent turn on both the top and bottom green line All of this is on the green redstone line ....... anyways, this has become a very long reply lol.... sorry, don't mind me 🙏

[@WoFDarkNewton]

You could make an automated flower farm by using a skeleton spawner to get bones, use the crafter to turn them into bone meal, and send the bone meal to a dispenser where it activates on a grass block. Then you use a dispenser with water to flood the area, pushing all the results to one side where a hopper collects them. Or, you could use the bone meal output as fertilizer to supercharge crop farms. However, I focused on flowers because this presents a unique opportunity for a fully autonomous flower farm in a way that was previously not possible, as far as I know (outside of perhaps the composter). You also might be able to make an autonomous honey farm, using the crafter to grab the honey from the honey bottles, then returning the empty ones back to their dispenser.

[@Nikeified]

the wholesomeness of mumbo figuring out that his Redstone actually worked was awesome

[@ehsaaschaudhary9298]

Now on hermitcraft all Redstoner should just get together and make a huge automatic crafter station for all the items the server will ever need...it will be fun to see what everyone can do together

[@SunshineRey]

Sounds like hell to try and get an auto crafter to work properly, since you don’t have the luxury of a sorting system to ensure your items go to the correct slot and eventually it will break if the system is just “line up the items in the correct order then click a button.” There’s also the problem of locking slots. Since you have 9 slots and they could be locked or unlocked you’d either need the people to click the slots closed or 247 different auto crafters so that it could craft for each individual possible position that isn’t just another one slot or no slot crafter.

[@Derpkip1231]

After watching this it seems the auto crafter has 2 great uses, which are crafting recipes with non stackable parts i.e (cake, dropper). As well as increased storage for items like (wheat, bone meal, clay, bamboo, ect) which can be turned into a 9 item blocks.

[@stratonikisporcia8630]

Other more niche uses: - Infinite fuel farm with kelp - Act as a dropper that can contain up to 64 non-stackable items (instead of 9) - Repair unanchanted equipment from mob farms

[@md_vandenberg]

No cake farm. The items are simply dispensed as is.

[@ICountFrom0]

Agreed.

[@aydenlokey3641]

Would be interesting if the comparator output of enabling/disabling crafting sections could be used like a 3x3 button pannel for things like perhaps a combination lock.

[@GeneralSpritz]

I'm honestly amazed that Mumbo was able to work around the complex crafting recipe issue. But the fact that he had to go through such a long and costly process just means that this issue is very likely beyond the average player to solve, limiting the Crafter's application. I think that the Crafter needs a "lock-in" feature in the UI. It could be as easy as right clicking an item so it never goes below 1. This means you could safely pump out whatever you want so long as you kept up the supplies of items.

[@ИгорьДементьев-и7м]

That only means,what average player sucks at redstone.There's no sense to add item lock.

[@GeneralSpritz]

@@stephenrichter8940 For sure, one ingredient crafts are super easy. No doubt about that. I just imagine that there's going to be quite the amount of complaining if things stay the same, which I imagine Mojang would want to stop before it starts.

[@XBuilder01]

ALL the cobblestone related blocks, AUTOMATED like some sort of challenge. Automatic cobble generator paired into automatic furnace array into automatic crafters to make all of the blocks that can be made from cobblestone and they go to fill up a user interactable storage system for them all that shuts off when it's filled enough for a player to use. Bonus points if it only fills up one or two chunks so it is easier to chunk load with a nether chunk loader.

[@waveeyes]

IDK if you'll see this. But seeing as Comparitors will change power based on how many slots in a Crafter are enabled/disabled in them I wondered: would it be possible to use a crafter as a (somewhat) compact keypad for a passcode protected door? It'd probably not be the most efficient way to do it, but considering it could look kinda like a keypad if placed in a wall with the top facing out the aesthetics might make up for the lack of efficiency.

[@AROAlvi]

Perhaps, if you put the crafter facing to the inside of the structure into a chest filled with only one kind of item in every slot and only when the correct item is crafted, the button pushed AND, most necessarily, the item only crafted if it can be placed in the chest, THEN you could use it as a keypad. An interesting idea. ¿The problem? You would need the crafting resourses EVERY TIME you want to use it.

[@Clem2TheClemening]

A better keypad would be a decorated pot password. They're stackable now in the snapshots, so you could craft the specific password pot when you need it so you don't have it lying around.

[@AROAlvi]

And you could break them down in their pieces, right? That would solve the problem with loosing materials to the crafting recipe.@@Clem2TheClemening

[@xaviersavard6343]

​@@AROAlvii think left clicked/barred slots also generate apower, and thats what they were talking about, not a complex item filter

[@CaineDM1955]

@Jamsterman25: I agree that it would be "OP", if it didn't need to be manually programmed, to get items in their proper place. That, & the need to design safeguards to cope with overflow & shortage situations.

[@tiberiusdeangelo]

for the compacting side of things one thing i might reccomend is a lecturn with a book turned to page (either 8 or 9 i forget which), with a comparator going into the comparator connected to the crafter which is set to subtract mode so that you only get an output when its full gaurenteed and it shrinks the detection circuit from however big it was to a 2x3 if your using that to auto power the crafter as well, the only downside to the system is it cant craft when theres more than one set of all the items (like for example if you were crafting bamboo blocks and had 2 bamboo in each slot) itll only power once and not power off although im sure theres a fix to that, granted i couldnt get a great look at the system you had lined up for auto detecting the fullness of the crafter so forgive me if what im saying is pointless, just kinda hard to see it through all the other bits lol and i figured id try and be helpful if what im saying even is helpful

[@rendomstranger8698]

​@@kaohs2133 After thinking about it some more, I retract my earlier comment. you can already craft any recipe with less than 5 different items by filling up the crafter and using hoppers on 4 sides to keep the crafter stocked. So there isn't actually a reason why you shouldn't be able to lock a recipe in. Any complex form of auto-crafting wouldn't have a use for locking a recipe in. As for my original reasoning, the crafter is targetted at technical players. Normal players don't have much use for it other than the occasional bulk craft. I thought that allowing recipe's to be locked in would remove any challenge in using the crafter. But since it would only compact set recipe crafting designs (if that as a hopper for more than 1 item could easily fill up), I no longer see any issue with it.

I made a combination lock using Crafters just now! There are 4 of them; each one contains a leather chestplate. You input the combination by putting a specific amount of dyes into the slots; once you're done, you press a button and all of the crafters activate to get rid of the dyes, which removes the need to reset the combination after using the lock! This does, however, mean that you need to replenish the dyes from time to time, but with the Crafter, you can just make some with a mob farm's bone output.

It won’t be used because too complicated and bulky. If you really want to dynamically deactivate slots, use filler items

I'd just reprogram it to use items as templates to activate or deactivate the crafting grid slots. Want a pickaxe? Press a button and a pickaxe goes into and then out of the crafter and sets the template slots) then the system drops the items needed into it and BAM! Pickaxe. You'd even be able to do away with having to make sure items flow into the crafter in the right order... With more programming because you'd have to program a memory into the auto crafter.

[@justinbombach9873]

@segooglenutzer8907 No you toggle them one at a time. Sending a signal strength of 5 will enable the center slot if it is currently disabled, or disable it if it is currently enabled. If you want to only enable the bottom row, because you plan to make slabs, you would send a signal of 1, then 2, then 3, etc up to 6. You wouldn't want to send constant power, because then it wouldn't be able to craft...
