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]

Recipe id: utilitarian:trowel
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]

The TPS Meter outputs a redstone signal based on the dimension's TPS.[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]

White Carpet

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]

How does Utilitarian work?
6 parts
Utilitarian is a pack of small utility blocks rather than a tech mod. The sources I have don't show any power, fluid or item-pipe systems or multiblocks for it, so this section covers what the blocks and items do, as far as their in-game descriptions explain it.[3]
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 chat message shows the current clock frequency.[3]
This pack adds its own recipe for the clock, so craft it like this:[5]

Recipe id: kubejs:kjs/utilitarian_redstone_clock
The TPS Meter outputs a redstone signal based on the dimension's TPS. That makes it handy for tying a redstone circuit to server performance.[3]

Lamps
The Lapis Lamp lights up an area on the client side only. The tooltip is clear that it is still dark, you just can't see it. There are also inverted versions, Inverted Lapis Lamp and Inverted Redstone Lamp.[3][5]
Traders and raiders
Trader carpets, such as the Black Trader Carpet, make arriving traders end up on that block instead of in your face. The trapped variants, such as the Black Trapped Trader Carpet, will kill the trader instead.[3]

The Raider Outpost Claim Block is placed in an outpost to stop raiders from returning.[3]

Handy items
- Trowel: shift right click to change its pull setting.[3]
- Sound Muffler: mutes sounds within a set block radius. The tooltip shows the radius, but the sources don't give a value.[3]
- Slime Bucket: gets visibly excited to see its friends when you visit a slime chunk.[3]
- Drit: it hurts, and grass can grow on it.[3]
Tiny Coal and Tiny Charcoal
The pack has changed the recipes that turn coal and charcoal into Tiny Coal and Tiny Charcoal. Each one makes 8 of the tiny item.[5]
Config
Utilitarian's settings are in config/utilitarian-common.toml and mostly cover housekeeping. In this pack the startup ding is on, using the sound set in dingDongSound, which is entity.experience_orb.pickup. The log suppressor and the no startup messages module are enabled, and recipe advancements are disabled.[6]
Unverified The Fluid Hopper has a recipe in the pack, but the sources don't explain how it moves fluids or what its automation limits are.
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]

This is the mod's original Redstone Clock recipe.
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.

Which Utilitarian config options matter?
3 parts
Utilitarian only has a small common config, and it's mostly about quieter logs and startup behavior. Everything lives in config/utilitarian-common.toml. Here's how this pack sets it.[6]
Startup sound
- enableDingDongStartupSound is set to true, so you get a ding when the game finishes starting up.[6]
- dingDongSound is set to entity.experience_orb.pickup, which is also the default listed in the config. The pack didn't change it. You can swap in another sound name here if you want a different ding.[6]
Log and startup message cleanup
- noStartupMessagesEnabled is true, so the No Startup Messages module is enabled.[6]
- logSuppressorEnabled is true, so the log suppressor is on.[6]
- logSuppressorEndsWithMessages is an empty list. It would stop log messages ending with any word sequences you add, but the pack doesn't add any.[6]
- logSuppressorRegexMessages is also an empty list. It stops log messages matching a regex, and the config itself warns you not to use it if you don't know what you're doing.[6]
Recipe advancements
disableRecipeAdvancements is set to true in this pack, so recipe advancements are disabled.[6]
Unverified The sources don't give the mod's default for most of these options (only the sound has a stated default), so which of the other values the pack changed from the mod default is unconfirmed.
