  • Magmatic Chamber
  • Melter-type machines
  • Any machine that processes items into liquids or consumes liquids

This component works together with:

  • utilitycraft:machine_recipes

Using Predefined Type​

"utilitycraft:machine_recipes": {
  "type": "melter"
}

Defining Recipes Directly (No type)​

You can define the liquid recipes directly inside the block JSON by removing type and writing them inline:

"utilitycraft:machine_recipes": {
  "minecraft:cobblestone": { "liquid": "lava", "amount": 250 },
  "minecraft:stone": { "liquid": "lava", "amount": 250 },
  "minecraft:diorite": { "liquid": "lava", "amount": 250 },
  "minecraft:granite": { "liquid": "lava", "amount": 250 },
  "minecraft:blackstone": { "liquid": "lava", "amount": 250 },
  "minecraft:netherrack": { "liquid": "lava", "amount": 1000 },
  "minecraft:magma": { "liquid": "lava", "amount": 1000 },
  "minecraft:magma_cream": { "liquid": "lava", "amount": 250 }
}

Liquid Recipe Fields​

  • liquid (required)
    Name of the liquid produced.

  • amount (required)
    Amount of liquid produced per operation.

Required Components​

Liquid machines must include:

  • utilitycraft:fluid_container
  • minecraft:tick

Example:

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