Need a portable Crafting Table? How about a portable Smithing Table? Crafting On A Stick adds portable versions of some of your favorite crafting stations! This is a must have in the early game.

On this page, you'll find some useful items and info to help you on your journey!

The Ranged Pump is so special it gets its own Mod! The Pump will collect Water Sources beneath it and replace them with Stone. It does need Energy to work though, but it's worth it, it has a huge range! The Water collected in it will need to be Piped out.

Asks for: Pump

The Friend, Luxury, and Heal PokeBalls all help your Pokemon after being caught! The Friend Ball starts your Pokemon at 150 Friend Points (sounds like manipulation, not a real Friendship!). The Pokemon in Luxury Balls will gain Friendship twice as fast as Pokemon in other Balls. And the Heal Ball will act as if the Pokemon took a nice Healing Machine bath after you Caught them. Yeah, just that one time, not constantly.

Asks for: Friend Ball, Heal Ball, Luxury Ball

Gems are fun Items found in Pokemon Structures and Suspicious Blocks. You can have your Pokemon hold it to Boost their first Move of that Type. A Water Gem will make the first Water Move better. Fire Gem Boosts the first Fire Move, and so on.

Trapped Trader Carpets will kill any Wandering Traders that spawn near it instantly! These might be the best items in the entire pack.

Sometimes we just can't find that one Female Pokemon in order to Breed. So why not just magically turn one of our Males into a Female! Or vice versa! Just Right Click a Pokemon with the Transmutation Orb and they'll switch Genders. I wonder if you can use it on Ditto to make a Ditta?

Asks for: Transmutation Orb

In Vanilla, Villagers can be really frustrating to deal with. Cycling trades is not easy at all, and professions can sometimes be tough to deal with. Easy Villagers is a mod to make all of it much easier to deal with! For starters, you can pick up a villager by sneak-right clicking them. They can then be easily placed in the world, or in specific blocks from the Easy Villager mod! You can search @EasyVillagers in JEI to see blocks the mod offers!

Asks for: Villager

Jetpacks are a beloved way of getting around. To start making them you'll need to start with a Wood Jetpack! This can be upgraded all the way to a Creative Jetpack. While it does have many versions each work all the same. They all can be placed in your Chestplate Slot, or Back Curio, or Curio Curio. All of them also need FE to work, you can use any Item Charger to charge them! They will use FE to fly and yes you will drop if you run out of Energy. To fly you'll need to turn on your Engine (V), then when you hold Space you'll fly up and drop when you let go. For those who don't enjoy dropping, then you can turn on Hover (Unbinded), when set on you will Fly at the same altitude; being able to go higher with (Space) and lower with (Shift). To adjust how fast you fly, change your Throttle. Decreasing it is (,) by default and increasing it is (.) by default!

Asks for: Jetpack

Don't you hate when your breaking something and the Blocks fall just out of your reach! Well worry no more for we have Magnets! Simply Right Click while holding the Magnet to turn it on. Then, all dropped Items and Blocks in a 5 Block Radius will come to you. You can also equip the Magnet in your Curios to keep using it! If you don't wish to continue using the Magnet (I find this happens near Mob Farms) then just Right Click with it again to disable it. It can also be upgraded to increase the range!

Asks for: Basicmagnet

The Ball Synchronizer can be used to switch the Ball a Pokemon is in. Let a Pokemon Hold the desired Ball, then use the Ball Synchronizer on them to switch it. The Ball they were in will be Voided... I can't see this helping too much unless you use Balls that give benefits after Catching a Pokemon!

Asks for: Ball Synchronizer

Too many unwanted Trainers? Get rid of them with the Trainer Repel Rod! Not sure of the area of Spawns it disables... it doesn't tell me. Atleast it doesn't prevent Trainer Spawners from working.

Asks for: Trainer Repel Rod

There's many ways to extract Enchantments from Items onto Books. This quest will focus on many of such methods. Super Factory Manager: One of the cheapest ways I can think of to disenchant your gear, with no Experience cost whatsoever. Drop your Enchanted Item and a bunch of Books on a block of Obsidian, then make a falling Anvil land on top of the Enchanted Item and the Books. Draconic Evolution Disenchanter: This one lets you choose a specific enchantment from an Enchanted Item to move to a Book. Costs Experience. Apothic Enchanting Tomes: When used in an anvil, these will extract all enchantments from the Enchanted Item. The Tome of Scrapping only extracts half of the enchantments from the Item, destroying that item in the process. The Tome of Superior Scrapping extracts all enchantments from the Item, destroying that item in the process. The Tome of Extraction extracts all enchantments from the Item, keeping the item in the process. Check out the Apothic Enchanting chapter to learn more about how to infuse these Tomes. Industrial Foregoing Enchantment Extractor: Recommended for automated disenchanting. Place an Enchanted Item and Books into the machine, and it will extract Enchantments from the Item. You can also have the enchantments be turned into Essence instead, if you prefer. Actually Additions Lens of Disenchanting: These Lens go into an Atomic Reconstructor. Throw an Enchanted Item and a single Book in front of the Laser that the Atomic Reconstructor emits, and it will separate a single Enchantment from the Item onto the Book

Asks for: Lens of Disenchanting, Tome of Extraction, Tome of Superior Scrapping, Tome of Scrapping, Disenchanter, Enchantment Extractor

I'm not listing all of these PokeBalls. All of these PokeBalls will have a better chance at Catching a Pokemon under certain circumstances. From the Wild Pokemon's Stats, to time in Battle, to place in the World, to even time of day. All of these PokeBalls are unique in their own ways! Most if not under those circumstances, will only have a 1x Chance... UNLESS stated otherwise.

Asks for: Beast Ball, Dive Ball, Dream Ball, Dusk Ball, Fast Ball, Heavy Ball

Functional Storage adds Drawers that can hold several stacks of an item. These can be upgraded to hold even more stacks! This is great for items you get a lot of, like Cobblestone or Seeds!

These 6 PokeBalls are thrown in a different way from every other Ball. The Feather, Wing, and Jet Balls will be thrown much farther than the Normal PokeBall. The Heavy, Leadon, and Gigaton Balls aren't thrown as far as the Normal PokeBall. The 1.5x and 2x aren't related to distance but rather Pokemon Catch Chance!

Asks for: Ancient Feather Ball, Ancient Gigaton Ball, Ancient Heavy Ball, Ancient Jet Ball, Ancient Leaden Ball, Ancient Wing Ball

The Charging Station is a very helpful Early Game Block. It is clearly used for charging Items. Either Pipe in Energy or use Furnace Fuel to make Energy in the form of FE. Then, you can put any Item that needs charging into the Right most Slot.

Asks for: Charging Station

The Nature's Compass gives you a list of biomes you can search for. Select a biome, then hit 'Search.' You'll see some info in the top left, and the compass will point in the direction of the biome. The Explorer's Compass works the same but works for structures, instead of biomes.

Asks for: Explorer's Compass, Nature's Compass
