Better With Mods Minecraft 1.12 Automation! Bit-by-Bit by Mischief of Mice!

Welcome to the mischief I’m Valen and this is better with mods a mod inspired from better with wolves now let’s get into how to actually start making some progress in this mod now with all of those in mind obviously you already know how to get passed into some stone tools

How to make some iron tools if needed you don’t even need this you can use a regular furnace I mean it’s still in there recipe for regular furnace is still the same you can use some other variation too cobblestone blocks and so on so you don’t have to use this to make

Yourself the iron nuggets or something to make yourself iron tools but if you are to start progressing in with this and making yourself some kinds of low F low low tech machinery in order to obtain some automation and so on you’re gonna want to start with a mill stone

Now a mill stone is simply just some stone and wooden gear which wouldn’t gear was used to make your initial better with mods book on top of that you’ve got a hand crank which is going to be a wouldn’t gear sticks and stone so it’s it’s really basic stuff right

And you have an internal inventory in the middle stone you can open it up you can see here I’ve got a bunch of hemp and stuff that I have used by the way if you are looking for hemp all you need to do is use a hoe on some grass to till

The land and you should eventually get some seeds which I recommend you plant those as soon as possible because you need a heck of a lot of hemp in this mod so if I have this in here it’s great the other thing is I’m going to need some

Food so if I switch this over I don’t have any food on me but just watch my hunger meter if I start crank this I click it once and it starts using my saturation level and starts eating into my food levels now it will only go down

So far about two-thirds of the way down my hunger meter and it will stop and eventually there we go we’ll get some hemp string will pop out now if I want to see if it’s working I can click it once you can see it’s partially working

Click it again and you can see it goes up and so on and it will just spit out hemp fibers in this case because I’ve got hemp in there there are other things this might be used for if you click on the COG in the center you can see the

Different recipes for making different things it can be very useful for instance a bone will get you six bone meal instead of just the traditional three and so on so you can get a lot better materials by using a millstone now you don’t have to stick with the hand-crank because as you

Saw it demolished my hunger meter you can actually upgrade that but before that you should know how it actually works any of the open sides that it has it can spit out the hemp fibers out from now if I were to take something like one of these grass blocks and start covering

Around it in an effort to let’s let’s therefore it would spit out here or maybe even on top right well if I click on here it says blocked so what you’re gonna want is some kind of more transparent block in this case I’m using oak leaves as an example which you

Should be able to obtain with some shears and therefore it doesn’t say anything about being blocked and if you want to speed up your time on actually making things like hemp fibers because the use for those is going to be useful in making rope cloth and so on and of

Course the cloth is going to be used for making different wind sails and stuff or more advanced contraptions you can set out multiples of these because they are just made from sticks and stones after all and then you can just you know click them all at a time and as you progress

It should you know spit them all out and I just put grass leaves or grass leaves oak leaves around all the open sides except for one you can try and put a hand-cranked down here thinking oh this one’s going to affect all three but as soon as you

Pull that lever it’s just going to break and turn into most of the components from that so it’s not recommended that you actually do that but in this case let’s let’s see here they should all spit out to the center the interior there we go you can see that I’m getting

Hemp fibers popping out really cool really easy simple way of automating it kind of making it a little bit a little bit faster than your traditional then you just sit here with some food every now and then and eat some of that now more advanced contraptions we have the

Windmill which is nice because it will automate things but it it can break and the effort that you put into making this thing is annoying but it’s going to need several thinks and in this case first I’m going to show you platforms the recipe for

That is a bunch of just you know planks and some wicker wicker is made from sugar canes you don’t have to use these I just use them because they’re very convenient you can use them as a ladder to climb up just by pressing against them and then you can use them to go

Back down of course I just kind of jumped all the way back down a good thing I’m in creating now there are things that you’re going to want in order to automate your millstone so that you don’t have to constantly keep eating and pulling levers and stuff like this

To do this and that is make wooden axles wouldn’t gearboxes and of course you’re going to want to make yourself a windmill on top of that you’re probably going to want an oak some kind of chime it doesn’t have to be a oak bamboo version or anything like that each one

Has a different sound to it and they have different colors and looks there’s actually like the the bamboo ones sound different from the the metallic ones they’re there I prefer the bamboo ones actually they’re very nice but they will start chiming whenever it is raining and if it’s raining bad things gonna happen

That’s what that’s when your windmill can break but first let’s go over a few of these the wooden axle recipe is going to be made from some wood plank molding and stuff and some hemp rope now the molding and the plank you can also use just regular planks as well the molding

Is in there because that’s a more advanced recipe which I will show you shortly how you are able to obtain it but it should just be applicable with regular wooden planks at the top and of course that hemp rope that I showed you earlier just made from a bunch of fibers

So far that’s not bad right you can make a bunch of those then a wooden gear box well we can make wooden gear boxes using wooden gears and wooden just planks as well as a redstone latch which isn’t bad it’s just some gold and some redstone so

You can make a bunch of those now here’s the thing any time that you have axles in one exception which is this over here you can’t go more than three in between each gear box so to give an example here one then I can put down three gears and

Then I can have another gear box and then I can split off of that gearbox on multiple sides if I wanted to and this each gearbox or each one of these axles can be fed into a millstone or a saw or other automatable device like so and therefore you can use those

In those benefits so let’s continue on up here I have this currently in place let me break this I’ll put this down I have an axle I have a windmill recipe for tis for wind sails which is made from four hemp cloth plus a bunch of

Wood slabs hemp cloth is made from a whole lot of hemp fibers you can now see why we need so much hemp but all I need to do is right click now if for some reason I put it down here you don’t have to have it attached directly to a wooden

Gear box it can actually go out several pieces of wooden axle but let’s say that I break this I bring this down one actually let’s bring it down a couple just in case and I try putting it on here you’ll get a warning saying it

Needs a 13 by 13 area to work so that means that you need to have it from its center after this block seven blocks out in all directions will need to be clear in a single plane so you don’t need to have it like really deep or anything like that in this case

Boop there we go it might take a second and then it’ll probably start slowly spinning hopefully you’re not starting this while it’s raining if so you might be in trouble but you want to put a gearbox attached to it somewhere now you can feasibly come off of either side you

Want put a gearbox on there it’s fine and then you can put axle on there axle on here excellent here you notice these axles are not spinning why is that happening this axles spinning but why are these ones not working because they’re not actually set up to work you

Need this little plus sign here to actually face the side that is powering it which is coming from this side here so if you hold shift and right click with an empty hand you’ll actually change the facing of where it is and you can click that multiple times it’ll

Eventually cycle itself around whatever face you want you can see everything is now working there spinning there causing these little particles and stuff like that it’s really cool really neat and you can just keep on doing that now here’s the bad part with the windmill if it or thunders or something like that

There’s a chance that the clothes that the gear box that is directly connected to it which would mean this one or this one if I have multiple gear boxes after that this one’s safe but this one here is and will potentially break in a thunderstorm or rain storm so you want

To turn that off yes that’s right you can actually turn this thing on and off with a redstone signal as you can see everything is now spinning down the side here and powering this little millstone as well as a saw it’s really cool causes a little bit of sound going on

There but how else does this can that be controlled if it’s raining oh there’s no rain detector well there actually is there’s two different kinds of rain detectors in here but I’m just going to show you the beginning one which is the the chimes which the chimes are more or

Less a similar recipe you can see just different types of stuff is made which you will need some kind of molding in this case which is made on a saw and if you attach this see here it will give in a rainstorm a redstone signal to the

Blocks that it’s attached to so it will come up here it will put a redstone signal will be output from this block that I attached it to has to be put underneath a block and then this one will give a redstone signal to the gearbox thus shutting that gearbox off

And preventing it from being destroyed or damaged and if it’s damaged then you can always repair it now there’s a broken wooden gear box which you know you will have to put in some new gears in it and then it will come out as a new

Wooden care box so you don’t need to actually spend all the gears on a brand new one so that’s another option but like I said this is the entry level one you have to actually do this one before you can do the others in most cases unless your mod pack changes things that

It might be included in now let’s go with a saw a saw is going to be rather useful the recipe for it is going to be a little bit more complex with iron and some siding and stuff like this or just planks rather wooden gears and a leather

Belt which is going to be made from leather straps we’re just gonna be made from cut leather with shears which is going to be made from tan leather from shears which is going to be made from scoured leather and and dung or this and that there’s a

Lot of steps to making a song a lot of steps but there’s a lot of benefits to it as well it’s one of the best wood processing items there can be if I were to take some wood in the world let’s actually turn this contraption on at the

Moment and just you can see here it’s there if you walk up to it and you’re too close it may hurt you yes bad things don’t don’t put your face on it but it you can place wood on it it will process it almost instantly and give you a whole

Lot in returning see there I put three wood oak woods on there and I got I got 12 planks three bark six sawdust and I also have this the millstone over here processing with a bunch of hemp at the same time so it’s really really good it

Will take a little bit of getting used to and getting to it in order to get that something I forgot to mention about the millstone is that you can only power it with axles from above and below you cannot power it with axles on the

Side the saw on the other hand if you look over here I currently have an axle coming in from the side it can be from the bottom or the top or the back it just can’t be on the face that it has the saw blade on and with most cases you

Should be able to like shift right click to change the facing on any of the gearboxes but it’s not going to work on the saws or the the millstone because those those don’t actually change their facings you have to just place them in a specific way now another drawback of the windmill in

This case is that it has to be above ground and it is a 13 by 13 space can break the first Brahe the first gearbox one rating so what do you want to do you probably want to upgrade it as soon as you can and in my mind the first upgrade

Is a really good upgrade and that is water wheel which is a five by five needs a little bit of water and it’s good recipe is gonna be a bunch of wood blades which the blades themselves typically will require siding and glue siding is made on a saw and glue is

Going to be made in a stoked cauldron or in a cauldron sorry which you know will be made with a bunch of iron buckets and phone I will be going over the cauldron and the Stoke cauldron and so on in future bit-by-bit but for now just know

That you will need to make a cauldron and that you can then put that above a fire source in this case I would put this cauldron above a fire it could just be another rack in this case but if you even expand it out to a 3×3 area it

Would increase its speed by which it will smell or cook things but you that’s how you can make some of those oops I did not mean to actually do that but going back to this the waterwheel you’d need to make a whole bunch of these wood blades and then you can put them

Together put them on here and you just need a 5×5 square put an axle down in the middle and then you pop it on there and then you just need some water flowing in from the side it has to be flowing water if it’s standing water it

Won’t move and then it will potentially if you see here start moving axles and so on for you and you can use that underground if you want now the drawback of this is that you can’t use it in the nether you can’t use that one in the

Nether either because it doesn’t have an open area it doesn’t open to the sky in the nether so neither of these would be useful in another dimension now or at least in that dimension now if you wanted you could go absolutely nuts and you could make yourself one of these

Things here which which which is a vertical windmill now the recipe for this one is a whole bunch of wind sails instead of your traditional 4 you’d make a whole lot more recipes standard but the use for this one is that you actually can let me get rid of these so

If I put down seven of these axles I might actually need to put down eight because it’ll be crowding on the bottom but three four five six seven eight and then I can click on here with a windmill it will create the frame it’ll pop off any additional axles that you try

Attaching to it so therefore you might think oh well that’s that’s gonna be a problem how do I actually attach some to it do I attach in the middle no no no you want to attach it towards the top or bottom you just put down another gearbox

Attached to it or if you really want to be ambitious you could directly attach a millstone to it but I would recommend a gearbox and then you just come off of that from there obviously have to also adjust it with an empty hand so that it is

Appropriate there we go and then you’ve got your axles turning as you need to now there are advantages to this and that is one it can be used underground so I could actually have this in the like down below ground it is very large

Though it’s 9 by 7 by 9 so you need a really big space for it to actually fit but it also works without water so therefore it can work in the nether as well so that is another advantage if you need to use this in the nether you have

An additional advantage for it so I think that pretty much sums things up I can easily go on and on about this mod better with mods which I will be in morbid by bits but for now I think that’s where I’m going to stop I hope you guys enjoyed this first jump and

Foray into better with mods this wonderful wonderful mod that adds a lot of really challenging vanilla styled you know progression and if you enjoyed it please be sure to give a like comment subscribe and as always be sure to spread the mischief to others if you think that they’ll enjoy this kind of

Content too until next time folks I’ll see ya
