What is CakeStickLib?
CakeStickLib is part of the pack's mod list. This pack ships version 1.17.5-hotfix-1 of it, in the file cakesticklib-1.17.5-hotfix-1.jar.[1]
It is not a new addition. It was first included in FTB Evolution 2 1.0.2 or earlier, so it has been in the pack for a long time.[1]
How do you get started with CakeStickLib?
4 parts
Same as in the FTB Evolution 2 1.1.0 guide
CakeStickLib adds a set of tools, molds and copper helpers. The mod's own advancement descriptions suggest a sensible order: tools first, then molds and wrought iron, then the copper items. That is the order below.[2]
Step 1: Make your tools
Start with the Hammer. Its advancement says you craft it to "craft new stuff", so it is the first thing to have in your inventory.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | any iron ingot | any string |
| Empty slot | Stick | any iron ingot |
| Stick | Empty slot | Empty slot |
Recipe id: cakesticklib:hammer
The in-pack Hammer recipe.
Next comes the Chisel, which lets you do in-world stonecutting recipes. After that, craft the Wrench, which cycles the blockstates of the blocks you click.[2][3]

Recipe id: cakesticklib:glass_cutter
Step 2: Molds
Everything mold-related starts with the Blank Mold.[3]
The finished molds are made by stonecutting. Each one has a stonecutting recipe from the blank mold and a second stonecutting recipe of its own. These are the molds you can make:[3]
- Ingot Mold and Nugget Mold[3]
- Block Mold and Plate Mold[3]
- Bar Mold and Rod Mold[3]
- Foil Mold and Gear Mold[3]
Example: turning a Blank Mold into an Ingot Mold at the stonecutter.
Step 3: Wrought iron
Wrought Iron Ingot is the mod's main metal. Its advancement says to combine some carbon dust with an iron ingot. There is also a follow-up advancement for smelting a wrought iron ingot in a blast furnace.[2][3]
Crafting Shapeless
- any carbon dust
- any carbon dust
- any iron ingot
Recipe id: cakesticklib:wrought_iron_ingot
The in-pack crafting recipe for the ingot.
This pack also adds casting recipes for wrought iron. An ingot takes 90 units of molten wrought iron at a casting table, a nugget takes 10, and a Wrought Iron Block takes 810 at a casting basin.[3]
Casting Table (hephaestus)
- 90× Molten Wrought Iron
Recipe id: ftb:hephaestus_materials/casting/wrought_iron/ingot
Added by the pack: casting an ingot from molten wrought iron.
Step 4: Copper care
The last early items work on copper blocks. Honey Solution waxes the copper block you click, and Redstone Acid pushes it one oxidation stage further. Scraping any oxidized copper block drops Patina. The pack leaves these behaviors on.[2][4]
Crafting Shapeless
- Glass Bottle
- Honeycomb
- Dandelion
Recipe id: cakesticklib:honey_solution
Crafting Shapeless
- Glass Bottle
- any redstone dust
Patina
Recipe id: cakesticklib:redstone_acid
How does CakeStickLib work?
6 parts
CakeStickLib is mostly about small in-world tricks and a shared upgrade system, not big multiblock machines. What the sources here explain is the set of upgrade items, a handful of right-click behaviours you can switch on or off in the config, and a few special recipe types. That is what this section covers.[2][5][6]
Machine upgrades
The mod has five upgrade items: Speed Upgrade, Energy Upgrade, Luck Upgrade, Fluid Upgrade and Eject Upgrade. They are all grouped in one upgrades item tag.[5]
The config caps how many upgrade types a single machine can take. In this pack every one of these values is still the mod default, so nothing has been tweaked here.[6]
- upgrades.max_speed_upgrades is 4 (range 0 to 16): the most speed upgrade types per machine.[6]
- upgrades.max_energy_upgrades is 16 (range 0 to 16): the most energy efficiency upgrade types per machine.[6]
- upgrades.max_fluid_upgrades is 4 (range 0 to 16): the most fluid efficiency upgrade types per machine.[6]
- upgrades.max_luck_upgrades is 4 (range 0 to 16): the most secondary output upgrade types per machine.[6]
- upgrades.max_luck is 100: the maximal secondary chance based on the upgrades installed.[6]
Three more options set the floor that upgrades can push costs down to: upgrades.min_fe_cost (minimal energy cost, 5), upgrades.min_mb_cost (minimal fluid cost, 1) and upgrades.min_tick_rate (minimal tick delay, 1). All three are at the mod default in this pack.[6]
Copper oxidation, waxing and patina
Two bottles control copper blocks in the world. Honey Solution waxes the copper block you click, and the advancement text says it waxes more efficiently. Redstone Acid raises the clicked copper block by one oxidation stage. Both behaviours are switched on in this pack through events.honey_solution_wax and events.redstone_acid_oxide.[2][6]
The mod's waxing tag holds Honey Solution and honeycomb, and its oxidizer tag holds Redstone Acid.[7][8]
Crafting Shapeless
- Glass Bottle
- Honeycomb
- Dandelion
Recipe id: cakesticklib:honey_solution
Honey Solution is a shapeless crafting recipe.
Crafting Shapeless
- Glass Bottle
- any redstone dust
Recipe id: cakesticklib:redstone_acid
Redstone Acid is also shapeless.
Scraping any oxidized copper block drops Patina while events.patina_drop is on, which it is here. The JEI entry says each scrape drops 0-2 items.[2][6]
In-world tools
- Chisel lets you craft stonecutting recipes in the world. Its info text says this works when it is bound to the result block.[2]
- Glass Cutter insta-mines glass. Its mineable tag covers glass blocks and glass panes.[2][10]
- Wrench cycles the blockstates of the blocks you click.[2]
- Hammer is described as a tool you craft to make new stuff.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | Empty slot | any iron ingot |
| Empty slot | any iron ingot | Empty slot |
| Stick | Empty slot | Empty slot |
Recipe id: cakesticklib:chisel
The chisel is a normal shaped crafting recipe.
Other right-click behaviours
Several more behaviours can be toggled in events.ender_eye_return, events.harvestable_action and events.tree_cutting_limit. All are active in this pack.[6]
- Ender eye return: you can interact with an End Portal Frame to take the Eye of Ender back out.[6]
- Harvestable action: you can right-click crops to collect them instead of breaking them. The config says it turns off by default if Farmers Delight is detected.[6]
- Tree cutting limit: the maximum number of harvestable blocks per interaction is 2,048, which is also the mod default.[6]
Special recipe types
The mod adds a recipe type called durability_use. Its recipes produce Amethyst Dust, Flour and Glass Dust, and JEI shows them with the text "Consume %s durability".[2][9]
The molds (Bar Mold, Block Mold, Foil Mold and Gear Mold) each have stonecutting recipes, and most can also be cut from a Blank Mold.[9]
Blank Mold is the starting point for the stonecutting mold recipes.
Wrought iron in this pack
Wrought Iron Ingot has the mod's own shapeless crafting recipe. This pack also adds Hephaestus casting recipes for wrought iron: the ingot and nugget are cast on a casting table, and the block in a casting basin. All three use molten wrought iron.[9]
Crafting Shapeless
- any carbon dust
- any carbon dust
- any iron ingot
Recipe id: cakesticklib:wrought_iron_ingot

Recipe id: ftb:hephaestus_materials/casting/wrought_iron/block
Added by the pack: casting the block in a casting basin.
How do you progress through CakeStickLib?
6 parts
CakeStickLib is a support mod, and the sources I have here do not lay out a tier ladder or say which step comes first. What they do show is the full set of in-pack recipes, so this section groups the items by what they are for and calls out the one place where the pack changes things.[9]
Basic tools and parts
The early hand tools are the Hammer, Chisel, Wrench and Glass Cutter. The glass cutter is tagged as the tool for mining glass blocks and glass panes. The Wooden Gear is a basic part you can make by hand.[9][10]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | any iron ingot | any string |
| Empty slot | Stick | any iron ingot |
| Stick | Empty slot | Empty slot |
Recipe id: cakesticklib:hammer
The wooden gear is one of the simplest parts to make.
Wrought iron and the pack's casting change
Wrought iron has crafting recipes for the Wrought Iron Ingot, nugget, block and Wrought Iron Plate. The plate recipe gives 3 plates per craft. Ingots can also be unpacked into 9 from a block, and nuggets into 9 from an ingot.[9]
Crafting Shaped
| any wrought iron ingot | any wrought iron ingot | any wrought iron ingot |
Recipe id: cakesticklib:wrought_iron_plate
One craft gives 3 wrought iron plates.
The pack adds its own casting route on top. A casting table turns 90 molten wrought iron into a Wrought Iron Ingot and 10 into a Wrought Iron Nugget. A casting basin turns 810 into a Wrought Iron Block. These are pack additions, not mod defaults.[9]
Casting Table (hephaestus)
- 90× Molten Wrought Iron
Recipe id: ftb:hephaestus_materials/casting/wrought_iron/ingot
Pack-added casting table recipe: 90 molten wrought iron per ingot.
Casting Basin (hephaestus)
- 810× Molten Wrought Iron
Recipe id: ftb:hephaestus_materials/casting/wrought_iron/block
Pack-added casting basin recipe: 810 molten wrought iron per block.
Alloys
This group covers the Mixed Ingot, the Advanced Alloy Block and the Advanced Alloy Nugget. The recipes are shown below.[9]

Recipe id: cakesticklib:advanced_alloy_nugget_unpack_9
Foils, coils and electronics
Copper, iron and gold each come as a foil and as a coil. Look for Copper Foil, Iron Foil, Gold Foil, Copper Coil, Iron Coil and Gold Coil.[9]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | any copper plate | Stick |

The circuit parts are the Chip, Resistor and Condenser, each with a base and an alternate recipe. The Electron Tube, Blue Battery and Green Battery are also in the mod.[9]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | any advanced alloy nugget | Empty slot |
| Empty slot | any silicon | any advanced alloy nugget |

Recipe id: cakesticklib:condenser_alt
The alternate condenser recipe makes 8 condensers.
Redstone Acid is crafted shapelessly and is the item in the mod's oxidizer tag.[8][9]
Molds
Start with the Blank Mold. The bar, block, foil, gear, ingot, nugget, plate and rod molds can each be made by stonecutting, either from a blank mold or directly through their own stonecutting recipe.[9]
Upgrades
The upgrade items are the Speed Upgrade, Energy Upgrade, Fluid Upgrade, Eject Upgrade and Luck Upgrade. Their recipe ids sit under the upgrade_application group, and several also have a clear_nbt variant.[9]

How does CakeStickLib work with other mods?
1 part
The only link between CakeStickLib and another mod that the pack's recipes confirm is with Hephaestus Forge. The pack adds casting recipes so you can make CakeStickLib's wrought iron items from a molten metal.[9]
Casting wrought iron
The metal you cast from is ftb:molten_wrought_iron. It comes out as the three wrought iron items from CakeStickLib: Wrought Iron Nugget, Wrought Iron Ingot and Wrought Iron Block. All three recipes were added by the pack, so you won't find them in the mods' defaults.[9]
The nugget and the ingot are cast in the casting table. The full block needs the bigger casting basin.[9]
Casting Table (hephaestus)
- 10× Molten Wrought Iron
Recipe id: ftb:hephaestus_materials/casting/wrought_iron/nugget
Nuggets are cast in the casting table.
Casting Table (hephaestus)
- 90× Molten Wrought Iron
Recipe id: ftb:hephaestus_materials/casting/wrought_iron/ingot
Ingots are cast in the casting table too.
Casting Basin (hephaestus)
- 810× Molten Wrought Iron
Recipe id: ftb:hephaestus_materials/casting/wrought_iron/block
Blocks are cast in the casting basin.
Which CakeStickLib config options matter?
3 parts
Same as in the FTB Evolution 2 1.1.0 guide
CakeStickLib keeps its settings in one file, events.ender_eye_return and friends all live in config/cakesticklib-common.toml. Good news: every option that lists a mod default in this pack's file is set to exactly that default, so the pack changes nothing here. If you know the mod's normal behaviour, that is what you get.[4]
Machine upgrade limits
These options cap how many upgrade types you can put in each machine. All of them are at the mod default in this pack.[4]
- upgrades.max_energy_upgrades is 16 (range 0 to 16). This is the max Energy Efficiency Upgrade types per machine.[4]
- upgrades.max_fluid_upgrades is 4 (range 0 to 16). This is the max Fluid Efficiency Upgrade types per machine.[4]
- upgrades.max_luck_upgrades is 4 (range 0 to 16). This is the max Secondary Output Increaser Upgrade types per machine.[4]
- upgrades.max_speed_upgrades is 4 (range 0 to 16). This is the max Speed Increaser Upgrade types per machine.[4]
Upgrade scaling values
- upgrades.max_luck is 100, the maximal secondary chance based on the upgrade installed.[4]
- upgrades.min_fe_cost is 5, the minimal energy cost based on the upgrade installed.[4]
- upgrades.min_mb_cost is 1, the minimal fluid cost based on the upgrade installed.[4]
- upgrades.min_tick_rate is 1, the minimal tick delay based on the upgrade installed.[4]
Events
The event options are all switched on in this pack. events.ender_eye_return lets you interact with an End Portal Frame to remove its Eye of Ender. events.honey_solution_wax lets Honey Solution wax the copper block you click, and events.redstone_acid_oxide lets Redstone Acid push that copper block one oxidation stage further. events.patina_drop makes Patina drop when you scrape any oxidized copper block.[4]
events.harvestable_action is true, so you can right-click crops to collect them instead of breaking them. The option's own description says it turns off by default if Farmers Delight is detected, but the pack file lists it as true.[4]
events.tree_cutting_limit is 2048, the max number of harvestable blocks per interaction, which is the mod default.[4]
