What is Utilitarian?
Same as in the All the Mods 10 6.5 guide
Utilitarian is included in this pack as version 1.21.1-0.18.2, so you can use it in your world. It's been part of the pack for a while: it was first added in pack version 2.25 or earlier.[1]
Unverified The available sources don't confirm what this mod adds, who it's aimed at, or where it fits in the pack's progression. Check the mod's items in JEI/EMI in-game to see what it offers. This site does hold All the Mons's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.
How do you get started with Utilitarian?
5 parts
Same as in the All the Mons 1.3.0 guide
Utilitarian adds a set of small utility blocks and tools. The sources here don't set out a fixed progression for it, so this is a sensible order to craft things in, starting with the tool you will use first.[2]
Start with the Trowel
Make the Trowel first. Once you have it, shift right click to change its pull setting.[2][3]

Then the Block Magnet
Next comes the Block Magnet. The pack's quest book uses it in the Legendaries chapter, in the Hoenn group. The Deoxys quest a quest in "?" comes after The Summoning Altar and asks you to lay a 3x3 platform of Magnets beneath the altar. Knowing the recipe early saves you a scramble later.[2][4]
Redstone helpers
The Redstone Clock is a block you right click with an empty hand to change its pulse frequency. Sneak while doing it to increase the frequency faster.[2][3]

Taming noise and traders
The Sound Muffler mutes sounds within a set block radius.[2][3]
A Trader Carpet, such as the White Trader Carpet, makes arriving traders end up on that block instead of in your face. The pack has a recipe for each colour.[2][3]

Tiny Coal and Tiny Charcoal
Tiny Coal and Tiny Charcoal are crafted through Actually Additions recipes, and the pack has changed both of them. Use the in-pack recipes below instead of assuming a mod default.[2]
This recipe is changed by the pack.

How does Utilitarian work?
6 parts
Utilitarian is a collection of small utility blocks and items, and the sources for this pack describe them mostly through short in-game tooltips. There are no power bars or multiblock structures to learn here, so this section covers the mechanics the sources actually spell out.[5]
Redstone tools
The Redstone Clock pulses redstone on a timer. Right click it with an empty hand to change the pulse frequency, and sneak while doing so to increase it faster. The block tells you the current setting in chat as "Clock frequency".[5]
This pack adds its own recipe for the clock, on top of the mod's own recipe.[6]

Recipe added by the pack
The TPS Meter outputs a redstone signal based on the TPS of the dimension it is in. That makes it handy for lag-aware redstone setups.[5]

Lamps
The Lapis Lamp lights up an area on the client side only. The area is still dark, you just can't see it, so it won't stop mobs from spawning. The Inverted Lapis Lamp and Inverted Redstone Lamp are the inverted versions of the lamps, made by combining a lamp with a lever.[5][6]

Traders and raiders
Trader Carpets come in many colours. Arriving traders end up on the carpet instead of in your face. The trapped variants, such as the Black Trapped Trader Carpet, will kill the trader instead.[5]

The Raider Outpost Claim Block is meant to be placed in an outpost to stop raiders from returning.[5]

Tools
The Trowel has a pull setting that you change with a shift right click.[5]
The Un-Name Tag and the Restraining Order are craftable from the recipes below. The sources only give their names and recipes, not how they behave.[5][6]

Tiny coal in this pack
The pack changed the recipes that turn fuel into Tiny Coal and Tiny Charcoal. One coal or one charcoal makes 8 of the matching tiny item. These recipes live under the Actually Additions namespace.[6]
Config
The pack sets four options in dingDongSound and its neighbours. The startup ding is enabled with enableDingDongStartupSound, and the sound it plays is entity.experience_orb.pickup. The No Startup Messages module is enabled with noStartupMessagesEnabled. Recipe advancements are disabled with disableRecipeAdvancements.[7]
Unverified The sources do not explain how the Fluid Hopper moves fluid or what the Trowel's pull settings do. They also do not describe any Utilitarian power, multiblock or machine systems, so treat those details as unconfirmed.
How do you progress through Utilitarian?
2 parts
Same as in the All the Mons 1.3.0 guide
The sources show no tier ladder or upgrade chain for Utilitarian in this pack. It is a set of small utility blocks and items, so instead of a tier list this section covers the quest that uses the mod, plus the recipes the pack changed.[2][4]
Where the quests use it
The one quest in the sources that asks for Utilitarian is a quest in "?" in the Legendaries chapter. One of its tasks is the Block Magnet. It comes after The Summoning Altar and one other quest.[4]
The quest text explains why you need it. The first trial of the Deoxys rite has you lay a 3x3 platform of Magnets beneath the altar, so craft enough of them ahead of time.[4]
Recipes the pack changed
The pack adds its own recipe for the Redstone Clock with a KubeJS script. The recipe dump lists it alongside the mod's original recipe.[2]

The recipes for Tiny Coal and Tiny Charcoal are also marked as changed by the pack. They belong to Actually Additions, not Utilitarian. The sources don't say what was changed, so check the recipes below instead of assuming the mod's defaults.[2]
The dump marks this Tiny Coal recipe as changed by the pack.
The dump marks this Tiny Charcoal recipe as changed by the pack.
Which Utilitarian config options matter?
1 part
Utilitarian's common config in this pack is short. It covers a startup sound, a startup messages module and recipe advancements.[7]
What the pack sets
- enableDingDongStartupSound is set to true, so the startup ding sound is enabled.[7]
- dingDongSound is set to "entity.experience_orb.pickup". That matches the default named in the config comment, so the pack leaves it unchanged. If you want a different startup sound, put another sound name here.[7]
- noStartupMessagesEnabled is set to true, which enables the No Startup Messages module.[7]
- disableRecipeAdvancements is set to true, so recipe advancements are disabled.[7]
