Sawmill in All the Mods 10

Sawmill does one job: it adds the Saw crafting station, which lets you craft wooden items. The recipes work with wood-derived blocks from any mod, so you don't need a different wood workstation for every mod in the pack. It also doesn't add a pile of extra wooden blocks of its own.^[1]

The pack includes Sawmill 1.21-1.8.0 for NeoForge. The sources don't show the pack changing any of its recipes or values, so you should expect the mod's normal behavior.^[2]

Who it's for

It's for builders and base designers who work with a lot of wood types and want one station to turn them into other wooden blocks. It also suits anyone exploring villages, since the station ties into the villager system.^[1]

What it adds

• A Sawmill crafting station with its own sawing sounds.^[1]
• Carpenter villagers, who work at a Sawmill and offer some useful trades. The trades are data-driven through Moonlight's villager trade system.^[1]
• 5 unique Carpenter houses that can spawn in your villages.^[1]
• KubeJS integration if you want to add extra recipes. Datapacks work for this too.^[1]

Where it fits in the pack

Sawmill isn't a progression gate. You'll meet it in the Tips and Tricks chapter, in the quest "Mo' Professions" quest, which comes after the Easy Villagers quest. That quest is about the new villager professions modded Minecraft adds, and the Saw is listed as the workstation for the Carpenter.^[3]

Sawmill is a small mod with one thing to craft: the Saw. It's a crafting station for wooden items, and its recipes work with wooden blocks from other mods automatically. You don't need a separate wood-cutting setup for each mod in the pack.^[1]

First, craft the Saw

The Saw is the first thing to make. The pack changed its recipe, so don't rely on what you remember from the mod's default. Here's the exact in-pack version:^[4]

This is the pack's changed version of the Saw recipe.

Next, use it for your wood

With a Saw placed, you have a Sawmill crafting station for turning wood into other wooden items. The mod says its recipes are compatible with any mod and can craft any wood-derivative block. When a build needs lots of wooden pieces from different mods, this is a good place to look first.^[1]

Then, get a Carpenter villager

The Saw is also a villager workstation. Carpenter villagers can work at a Sawmill and offer useful trades. The mod also adds 5 unique Carpenter houses that can spawn in villages, so you may meet a Carpenter before you craft anything.^[1]

The pack's quest book covers this too. The quest "Mo' Professions" quest in the Tips and Tricks chapter comes after Easy Villagers. It lists the Saw among the workstations that give villagers a new profession, and it names the Saw's profession as Carpenter.^[3]

Sawmill is a focused mod: it adds a single crafting station that lets you craft wooden items, and its recipes work with any mod automatically. Most of what you can tune lives in the pack's config file, and that is what this section walks through.^[1][5]

What the Sawmill does

Recipes are generated to be compatible with any mod, so you can craft any wood-derived block. The mod also adds a Carpenter villager who works at a Sawmill and offers some trades. Carpenters come with 5 unique houses that can spawn in villages, and the workstation has its own sawing sounds.^[1]

If you want extra recipes, the mod supports KubeJS, and you can also use datapacks.^[1]

Getting the station in this pack

The pack has changed the recipe for Saw, so don't rely on the mod's default. This is the in-pack recipe.^[4]

Which recipes show up

These options decide what the Sawmill will offer you. The values below are what this pack uses.^[5]

• general.allow_non_blocks is true, so non-block items can be crafted too.^[5]
• general.allow_non_variant is true, so items that aren't wood variants can be crafted, such as a crafting table.^[5]
• general.limit_planks_input_to_one is true, so planks recipes only craft items that need 1 input plank. Turning it off allows more recipes.^[5]
• general.mods_blacklist is set to framedblocks, so all recipes from that mod are ignored. The config says the Sawmill can display at most 255 recipes at once, which is why mods with many recipes are worth excluding. For finer control, use the sawmill:blacklist item tag.^[5]
• general.repurposed_structures_compat is true, which enables the compat structures for the Repurposed Structures mod.^[5]

Costs and discounts

general.max_discount is the maximum discount the Sawmill gives when converting recipes, measured as a percentage of the input item. It can range from 0.0 to 1.0. The pack sets it to 0.35, which is the same as the mod default.^[5]

There are also special costs for boats and stairs. general.special_recipe_costs.boat is 4 and general.special_recipe_costs.stairs is 1.^[5]

Interface options

• general.search_bar_mode is AUTOMATIC. The other modes are OFF, ON and DYNAMIC. Automatic only turns the search bar on statically when enough mods add wood recipes. Dynamic changes the GUI depending on how many recipes it is displaying.^[5]
• general.search_bar_threshold is 32, the same as the mod default. It sets how many recipes it takes for the search bar to appear. The range is 0 to 200.^[5]
• general.sort_recipes is false. When enabled, recipes follow creative tab order. The config warns this can cause issues if the creative order differs between server and client, and that NeoForge has a bug where it won't work on servers.^[5]
• general.wider_gui is false. Enabling it makes the Sawmill GUI slightly wider.^[5]

Recipe generation

general.recipe_generation_mode controls how dynamic assets are generated, and the pack uses CACHED_ZIPPED. The cache regenerates whenever any mod or pack changes. The allowed values work like this:^[5]

• NEVER: the mod never tries to generate the cache folder, and the assets are kept in memory.^[5]
• CACHED: creates a cache folder in dynamic-resource-pack-cache inside the .minecraft folder.^[5]
• CACHED_ZIPPED: creates a ZIP in that same cache location. This is the pack's setting.^[5]
• ALWAYS: always generates the assets and keeps them in memory, with no cache folder.^[5]

In this pack the sources show one thing for Sawmill: the Saw (the Saw) and how you get it. There is no tier breakdown to follow, so this section covers the Saw recipe and the quest that mentions it.^[4]

Crafting the Saw

The pack changes the recipe for the Saw, so don't assume it matches the mod's defaults. Here is the exact in-pack recipe:^[4]

The quest that mentions it

The Saw shows up in the Tips and Tricks chapter, in the quest "Mo' Professions" quest. It comes after the Easy Villagers quest, so finish that one first.^[3]

The quest is about the new villager professions that mods add. Its task accepts any one of many workstation items, and the Saw is one of them. The quest text lists the Saw as the workstation for the Carpenter profession.^[3]

The Saw is built to work with wooden blocks from any mod. Its recipes are described as compatible with any mod and can craft any wood-derived block, so it connects with the rest of the pack without extra setup. Beyond that, the pack has a few direct links you can use.^[1]

Sophisticated Backpacks and Sophisticated Storage

The clearest link is the Sawmill Upgrade for backpacks and the Sawmill Upgrade for storage blocks. The pack changed both recipes, so don't rely on what you remember from the mods' defaults.^[4]

Villager professions quest

The Saw also shows up in the quest "Mo' Professions" quest, in the Tips and Tricks chapter, which comes after the Easy Villagers quest. The quest is about modded villager professions, and its text lists the Saw as the workstation for the Carpenter. The task accepts any one of the listed workstations from several mods, so the Saw is just one of many ways to complete it.^[3]

The mod page says the Carpenter villager works at a Sawmill and offers trades. The mod also adds 5 unique Carpenter houses that can spawn in villages.^[1]

Adding your own recipes

The mod page says it has KubeJS integration for adding extra recipes, and datapacks work too.^[1]

The Saw (Saw) shows up in just one quest in the pack. It's in the "Tips and Tricks" chapter, so there's no dedicated Sawmill chapter and no long questline to follow.^[3]

Mo' Professions

The quest is "Mo' Professions" quest. It comes after the Easy Villagers quest in the same chapter, so that's the one to finish first.^[3]

The quest is about the new villager professions that modded Minecraft adds. Its task is a list of items joined by "or", and the Saw is one of the options alongside blocks from other mods, such as the Forge Hammer, the Charger, the Arcane Core and the Charging Station. The list also includes a plain white banner.^[3]

The quest text pairs each of these blocks with the profession it gives a villager. For the Saw, that profession is Carpenter.^[3]

All of the Sawmill settings live in config/sawmill-common.toml. The pack's file only shows a mod default for general.max_discount and general.search_bar_threshold, and both are left at that default. For every other option below I can only tell you how the pack sets it, not whether that differs from the mod default.^[5]

What decides which recipes you get

• general.allow_non_blocks is true, so the Sawmill can craft non-block items too.^[5]
• general.allow_non_variant is true, so items that aren't wood variants, such as a crafting table, can also be crafted.^[5]
• general.limit_planks_input_to_one is true, so planks recipes only craft items that take 1 input plank. Turning it off allows more recipes.^[5]
• general.mods_blacklist is set to framedblocks, so all of that mod's recipes are ignored by the Sawmill. The option exists because the Sawmill can display at most 255 recipes at once. For finer control you can use the sawmill:blacklist item tag.^[5]
• general.special_recipe_costs.boat is 4 and general.special_recipe_costs.stairs is 1.^[5]
• general.max_discount is 0.35, the same as the mod default. It is the maximum discount the Sawmill gives when converting recipes, as a percentage of the input item, and it accepts values from 0.0 to 1.0.^[5]

Search bar and GUI

• general.search_bar_mode is AUTOMATIC. In this mode the bar is only enabled statically when enough mods add wood recipes. The other modes are OFF, ON and DYNAMIC.^[5]
• general.search_bar_threshold is 32, the mod default. This is how many recipes it takes for the search bar to appear, and the range is 0 to 200.^[5]
• general.wider_gui is false, so the Sawmill GUI keeps its normal width.^[5]
• general.sort_recipes is false, so recipes aren't sorted by creative tab order.^[5]

Generation and compat

• general.recipe_generation_mode is CACHED_ZIPPED, which creates a ZIP in the .minecraft/dynamic-resource-pack-cache folder. The cache regenerates whenever any mod or pack changes.^[5]
• general.repurposed_structures_compat is true, so the compat structures for Repurposed Structures are enabled.^[5]

All the Mods 10 8.1 ships Sawmill 1.21-1.8.0 (the file is sawmill-1.21-1.8.0-neoforge.jar). The mod has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 2.25 or earlier. The pack changelogs only record version bumps for it, and those are listed below.^[2]

Version 1.21-1.8.0 arrived in pack release 8.0, and it is the version listed in the 8.1 mod list, so 8.1 did not change Sawmill's version.^[2][14]

Unverified What actually changed inside the mod in each of these updates (new features, fixes or recipe changes) is not shown by the sources here. No changelogs are stored for the shipped jars, so check the mod's own release notes before relying on any specific change.
