Double Machine Block Component

The utilitycraft:double_machine component is used to create machines that require two input sources to produce a result.

This is typically used for machines such as:

  • Infuser
  • Alloy-type machines
  • Catalyst-based processors

It works together with:

  • utilitycraft:machine_recipes

Component Structure​

"utilitycraft:double_machine": {
  "entity": {
    "input_type": "simple",
    "output_type": "simple",
    "inventory_size": 8
  },
  "machine": {
    "energy_cap": 128000,
    "energy_cost": 1600,
    "rate_speed_base": 40,
    "upgrades": [5, 6]
  }
}

Entity Configuration​

  • input_type (required)
    Defines item input behavior.

  • output_type (required)
    Defines item output behavior.

  • inventory_size (required)
    Total inventory size of the machine entity.

Double Machines typically use:

  • 1 primary input slot
  • 1 secondary (catalyst) slot
  • 1 output slot

Additional slots can be used for upgrades.

Machine Configuration​

  • energy_cap (required)
    Maximum energy storage in DE.

  • energy_cost (required)
    Energy required per operation.

  • rate_speed_base (required)
    Base processing speed per tick.

  • upgrades (required)
    Array defining supported upgrade slots.

The system automatically adjusts internally to respect the world refresh speed.

Double Machine Recipes​

Double machines use utilitycraft:machine_recipes.

Using Predefined Type​

"utilitycraft:machine_recipes": {
  "type": "infuser"
}

Defining Recipes Directly (No type)​

You can define recipes inline inside the block JSON.

Double recipe format uses a pipe (|) to separate inputs:

"utilitycraft:machine_recipes": {
  "utilitycraft:amethyst_dust|utilitycraft:obsidian_dust": {
    "output": "utilitycraft:stabilized_obsidian_dust",
    "required": 4
  },
  "utilitycraft:amethyst_dust|utilitycraft:crying_obsidian_dust": {
    "output": "utilitycraft:stabilized_obsidian_dust",
    "required": 1
  },
  "minecraft:redstone|minecraft:iron_ingot": {
    "output": "utilitycraft:energized_iron_ingot",
    "required": 4
  }
}

Recipe Fields​

  • output (required)
    Item produced.

  • required (optional, default: 1)
    Amount of input items required per operation.

  • amount (optional, default: 1)
    Output item count per operation.

  • cost (optional)
    Overrides default energy cost.

Required Tick Component​

Double Machines must include minecraft:tick to process recipes.

Example:

"minecraft:tick": {
  "interval_range": [2, 2]
}
