What is Pylons?
2 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.51 guide
Pylons is a small "just another magic block" mod that adds a handful of utility blocks. Each one does a single job, such as keeping mobs from spawning, harvesting your farm or applying potion effects to you from any distance. The pack ships Pylons 5.0.1, and it has been in the pack since version 0.32 or earlier.[1][2]
What the pylons do
- Expulsion Pylon: meant for servers, it expels other players from the chunk it sits in. You can whitelist players with a Player Filter, and OPs are always whitelisted.[1]
- Infusion Pylon: applies effects to you from any distance, though it may need chunkloading. It works with activated Potion Filter items. You activate a filter by applying an effect to yourself, for example from a potion, and then right-clicking the filter.[1]
- Harvester Pylon: harvests crops in a configurable radius from 3x3 to 9x9 and outputs to an inventory above it. You place it inside the water block of the farm. By default it needs a hoe in its inventory and uses 1 durability per crop harvested.[1]
- Interdiction Pylon: blocks all spawns of specified mobs within a chunk range from 1x1 to 5x5. Right-click a mob with a Mob Filter, then add the filter to the pylon to block that mob.[1]
Where it fits in the quest book
The pack has a dedicated Pylons quest chapter. The filters have their own quests: a quest in "?" for the Mob Filter, a quest in "?" for the Potion Filter and a quest in "?" for the Player Filter. Each pylon quest comes after its matching filter quest: a quest in "?" for the Interdiction Pylon, a quest in "?" for the Infusion Pylon and a quest in "?" for the Expulsion Pylon. The Harvester Pylon quest, a quest in "?", has different prerequisites.[3]
How do you get started with Pylons?
2 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.51 guide
Pylons is a small magic-block mod with a handful of utility blocks: a crop harvester, a mob-spawn blocker, a player expeller and a long-range potion effect applier. Most of them are built around filters, so that's where you start.[1]
Step 1: Make the filters
The pack's quest chapter for this mod has a quest for each filter: a quest in "?" for the Mob Filter, a quest in "?" for the Potion Filter and a quest in "?" for the Player Filter. The interdiction, infusion and expulsion pylon quests each list the matching filter quest as a prerequisite, so making the filters first keeps you on the intended path.[3]

Each filter also has a shapeless clear recipe in the pack.[4]
Step 2: Pick the pylon you need
The Harvester Pylon harvests crops in a configurable radius, from 3x3 to 9x9, and outputs to an inventory above it. Place it inside the water block of your farm. By default it needs a hoe in its inventory and uses 1 durability per crop harvested, but a config option can turn that off. Its quest is a quest in "?", and its recipe is the mod's own, unchanged by the pack.[1][3][4][5]

Mod recipe, not changed by the pack.
The Interdiction Pylon stops spawns of specific mobs in a chunk range from 1x1 to 5x5. Right-click a mob with a Mob Filter to select it, then put the filter into the pylon. The matching quest is a quest in "?". The pack changed this recipe, so don't rely on other guides for it.[1][3][4][5]

How does Pylons work?
5 parts
Pylons is a small "magic block" mod, and everything in it revolves around four standalone pylon blocks. Each one does a single job, and the filters (Mob, Player and Potion) are what configure them. The sources describe no multiblocks, and they don't describe power or fluid handling. The only item automation they mention is the Harvester Pylon's output inventory.[1]
Expulsion Pylon
The Expulsion Pylon is meant for servers. It expels other players from the chunk it's placed in, and the tooltip says the range is configurable in chunks. You can whitelist players with a Player Filter, and OPs are always whitelisted.[1][5]
To pick a player for the filter, right-click that player with it.[5]
Crafting Shaped

Recipe id: pylons:expulsion_pylon
The pack changed this recipe from the mod's version.
Infusion Pylon
The Infusion Pylon lets you apply potion effects to yourself from any distance, though this may require chunkloading. It works with activated Potion Filter items, so the effects are stored in the filters rather than in the pylon.[1][5]
- Get the effect you want onto yourself, for example by drinking a potion.[1]
- Right-click the Potion Filter. This extracts all of your remaining duration for that effect and puts it on the filter.[1]
- Repeat with the same effect to increase the filter's progress. The tooltip shows it as seconds out of the total needed.[1][5]
By default, the minimum effect duration you can extract is 60 seconds. To fully activate a filter you need a total of 1 hour of duration, which the project page equates to 7.5 vanilla extended potions. Those are the mod's stated defaults, and the pack's own values for them are unverified.[1][5]
If you have several filters holding the same effect, you can merge them. Put one filter in each hand and right-click, and the duration from the off-hand filter is added to the one in your main hand.[1]

Harvester Pylon
The Harvester Pylon harvests crops in a configurable radius around itself, from 3x3 up to 9x9, and outputs to an inventory above it. Place it inside the water block of your farm. The tooltip also allows placing it above the water block.[1][5]
By default, the pylon needs a hoe in its inventory and uses 1 durability per crop harvested. A config option disables that requirement. Unbreakable hoes, such as Mystical Agriculture's Supremium Hoe, also work. I can't confirm which of these settings the pack uses.[1]

Interdiction Pylon
The Interdiction Pylon prevents all spawns of the mobs you specify within a selected chunk range, from 1x1 to 5x5. The tooltip describes this as configurable mob spawn prevention in a radius around the pylon.[1][5]
- Right-click the mob you want to block with a Mob Filter to select it.[1][5]
- Add the filter to the pylon, and that mob stops spawning in range.[1]

Clearing filters
The pack has a shapeless crafting recipe for each filter type that takes one filter and returns the same kind of filter.[6]
Unverified The recipe names suggest these reset a filter, but the sources don't confirm exactly what gets cleared. The pack's actual config values for ranges, radius and the hoe requirement are also unverified, because no config files for this mod were available.
How do you progress through Pylons?
3 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.51 guide
Pylons doesn't have numbered tiers in this pack. What you get is a small quest chapter that walks you through three filters and four pylons. The sources I have don't give the quests any titles or descriptions, so I'm describing them by what they ask you to obtain.[3]
The quest path
The chapter has seven quests, and each one just asks you to have a Pylons item in your inventory. Three are the filters: a quest in "?" for the Mob Filter, a quest in "?" for the Potion Filter and a quest in "?" for the Player Filter. None of them has a prerequisite in the data.[3]
The four pylon quests come after the filters. Each one lists two prerequisite quests, and the same quest, 30B0240543253EFB, is one of them for all four.[3]
- a quest in "?" asks for the Infusion Pylon and comes after the Potion Filter quest.[3]
- a quest in "?" asks for the Expulsion Pylon and comes after the Player Filter quest.[3]
- a quest in "?" asks for the Interdiction Pylon and comes after the Mob Filter quest.[3]
- a quest in "?" asks for the Harvester Pylon. Its second prerequisite is quest 034A9FBCA6D79BB6, not one of the filter quests.[3]
Filter recipes
All three filters use the mod's own recipes, so nothing about them is changed by the pack. You craft each one in a crafting grid.[4]

Each filter also has a shapeless "clear" recipe that takes the filter and gives back the same filter item.[4]
Pylon recipes
The pack changes the recipes for three of the pylons: the Infusion, Expulsion and Interdiction Pylons. Don't rely on the mod's default recipes for these. Use the ones below, which are the in-pack versions.[4]

Which All the Mods 10 quests use Pylons?
2 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.51 guide
This mod has one quest chapter in the pack, called "pylons". It holds seven quests, and every one is an item task: each asks you to have a specific item from the mod. None of the quests has a title in the pack files, so they are listed below by their ids.[3]
Step 1: the three filters
Three quests have no prerequisites listed, so you can start on any of them right away. Each one asks for a different filter item.[3]
- a quest in "?" asks for the Mob Filter.[3]
- a quest in "?" asks for the Potion Filter.[3]
- a quest in "?" asks for the Player Filter.[3]
Step 2: the four pylons
The four pylon quests each unlock after two earlier quests. One of those is the same for all four: quest 30B0240543253EFB. The sources don't say which chapter it belongs to or what it asks for, so I can't tell you more about it. The other prerequisite differs for each pylon. Three of them are the filter quests above.[3]
- a quest in "?" asks for the Interdiction Pylon. It comes after quest 30B0240543253EFB and the Mob Filter quest a quest in "?".[3]
- a quest in "?" asks for the Infusion Pylon. It comes after quest 30B0240543253EFB and the Potion Filter quest a quest in "?".[3]
- a quest in "?" asks for the Expulsion Pylon. It comes after quest 30B0240543253EFB and the Player Filter quest a quest in "?".[3]
- a quest in "?" asks for the Harvester Pylon. It comes after quest 30B0240543253EFB and quest 034A9FBCA6D79BB6, which isn't one of the filter quests.[3]
Unverified What quest 30B0240543253EFB and quest 034A9FBCA6D79BB6 ask for, and which chapter they sit in, can't be confirmed from the available sources.
Which Pylons config options matter?
Unverified No Pylons config files from this pack were provided, so I can't confirm which values the pack changed from the mod defaults, or the exact config keys. Everything below comes from the mod's own project page, and the pack may set it differently.
These are the settings the mod page calls out. Check them in your own instance before you build a big setup around them.[1]
- Infusion Pylon: the minimum effect duration you can extract into a Potion Filter is 60 seconds by default.[1]
- Infusion Pylon: fully activating a filter takes a total of 1 hour of duration, which the page says is the equivalent of 7.5 vanilla extended potions.[1]
- Harvester Pylon: by default it needs a hoe in the pylon inventory and uses 1 durability per crop harvested. The page says a config option can disable this.[1]
- Harvester Pylon: the harvest area is configurable from 3x3 to 9x9.[1]
- Interdiction Pylon: the chunk range it covers is selectable from 1x1 to 5x5.[1]
What changed in Pylons between versions?
1 part
All the Mods 10 0.50 ships Pylons 5.0.1. The mod has been in the pack since 0.32 or earlier, so it's not a recent addition.[7]
Pylons 5.0.1
The 5.0.1 changelog lists these changes, and this version is the one in the pack as of 0.50:[7][8]
- FTB Teams support was ported.[8]
- A bug that stopped pylons from being breakable on servers was fixed.[8]
Unverified No pack changelog entries for Pylons were available, so any changes between earlier pack releases and 0.50 are unverified.
