EDIT: Having reviewed the small subset of comments complaining, I chose to change the title. It was originally "Instant Autocrafting is Completely Useless" Having read it like a gazillion times, its meaning was clear to me, but i understand how quickly brushing over it can lead you to misinterpret it as ragebait. Sorry for the irritation. (Edited as of Oct28th) OLD PINNED COMMENT: It seems to be a pretty common misunderstanding: I don't think crafters are useless. I think using them in the context that I spent the entire video doing is useless. To restate, crafters are beyond easy to pipeline, and intentionally not doing so is a waste of time and energy, and only looks cool and is funny. The title has always said "Instant Autocrafting is completely useless", and its pretty clear what instant means in this context if you watch the video lol

Also, `/weather clear` actually just sets a constant timer to re-enable rain after, causing it to rain more frequently than normal. If you want weather to end and then only reactivate after its natural time, do `/weather rain 1` so that the rain stops "naturally" after one tick.

The first thing that I did when I saw the crafter was introduced, was try to hook a crafter up into a shulker box, while having it craft a shulker box. Unforunately Mojang was one step ahead of me and prevents shulker boxes from being injected into other shulker boxes. Foiled again by Mojang.

Actually crafter is basically a faster solution for massive transportation of certain materials, since it delivers 9 items per operation, and even with the regular dropper line speed it would be 9 times faster

[@Niki1A_]

You could just craft the iron ingots into a block once and then use droppers and get the same speed (if you don't use the low cooldown). Not to forget, that you could also package them in shulker boxes to get an even higher throughput.

[@MadJack1]

At that point though you could just use water lines

[@defense200x]

it still only delivers 1 iron block at max, same as a dropper or dispenser

[@kwaaakity]

​@@defense200xyes,1 iron block,instead of 1 iron ingot

On second thought, you could literally transport blocks with droppers and put a crafter in the end to make ingots, so it is still worse in resource

The moment you mentioned the lack of delay, I knew there was going to be an item conveyer. I was not disappointed.

[@pauldeddens5349]

I was anticipating two crafters facing into each other and crafting and uncrafting iron into blocks and back into ingots forever.

[@rat2146]

One thing I found instant crafting usefull for was for crafting dispensers. You can insert a new bow instantly after crafting the dispenser. This makes it possible to have your full recipe inside so you don't have to worry about the order you put the items in.

[@squibble111]

Thats quite a smart use of it actually.

[@SuperLlama88888]

Can't wait for these to be integrated into storage systems. Imagine having a main storage where you can request obscure items, such as acacia fences, in bulk, and the storage would automatically craft them for you! :0

I think Gnembon said it best: it's not revolutionary, but rather it streamlines everything. Being able to compact farm drops into blocks , craft unstackables on the spot, etc. is really powerful but not revolutionary. I think people are more just riding the hype over the fact autocrafting actually got added to the game. Edit: Instant autocrafters are more a fun niche, even if you have instant 1gt crafting you are still limited by input speed.

[@hubertk7363]

Yup, their use is broad, but not deep. (unlike other blocks named revolutionary, such as observers)

[@coledavidson5630]

It's mega revolutionary for kelp. 100% auto zero maintenance kelp farms are now possible, and you will never need coal for fuel in the mid to late game again. Of course this can also power your other furnace-based farms completely automatically.

[@MrRyanroberson1]

simple: take a long line of instant crafters transporting iron and feed iron blocks in to every other crafter so that you can fill it from several spots at once. they'll be instantly transported through and you can achieve the maximal speed this way. likewise for the output step.

[@vinicus508]

You must be joking about it being useless! How is producing an item instantly with the press of a noteblock, easily clock-able useless?

[@kingacrisius]

@@lukelcs8934 It's "instant" in that 1 click = 1 full craft sequence. However, if you ran it at full speed (1 craft per tick) for a long time it would only produce slightly more, and that would be a constant amount, not proportional. If the instant crafter produced 3 items when the normal crafter produced 1, by the time the instant crafter crafts 100 items, the normal crafter will have crafted 98. Hardly a difference, and that difference isn't worth the extra effort since it get proportionally smaller and smaller the longer its run.

Someone found a use for crafting iron into iron blocks then back into iron ingots just so he can dispense them in multiples of 3 to make his machine more compact. I forgot who it was but even though it seems dumb to do that, it made his farm faster.

[@user-pw5do6tu7i]

Opposed to a dropped. An crafter can dispense multiple items per 1 powering. That seems pretty useful. And if you ever wanted a pulse to split 9 times, you could split an iron block, count them, then reform it

[@brickbot2.038]

Could be interesting for something like a points counter, with options to add different amounts of points easily and quickly

[@wisnoskij]

This is interesting. one use I see is to overcome crafters not having enough sides to instantly make complicated recipes. If using hoppers of dropper, you need to wait to make items with over 5 ingredients. But if we need multiple iron, or multiple wood, a crafter can deliver multiple per red stone pulse.

The instant crafter line is faster than instant dropper lines for another reason as well. They move 9 ingots at a time instead of 1. This also menas they deposit 9 ingots at a time into the final container, which can be helpful for splitting items.

That tnt minecart crafter actually has some uses in flying tnt machines. The thing with normal tnt is that it doesn't explode instantaneously when hitting the floor, it is timed and may explode too late or too early. Tnt minecart solves that problem but it doesn't stack so you can't have a lot in dispensers. Then comes in autocrafter, if say you have the ingredients in a dropper or whatever dispense it to an autocrafter to autocraft it on the spot, then you have 9x more storage than when you have a single dispenser.

Furthermore see you have a boot dock. Not only can you craft the boats but you can also collect the broken boat parts and recraft it again.

(faster than 5 per second would require more than one dispenser) The machine needs to be super small and super simple, such that it could be built it in very little time, by *anyone,* at any location.
