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 FTB Evolution 2'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
Utilitarian adds a lot of small helper blocks rather than one big progression line. The sources for this pack show the recipes and the in-game descriptions, but nothing that sets an order. So the order below is my suggestion, based on what each item does. Every recipe shown is the one this pack uses.[2][3]
Start with the Trowel
Begin with the Trowel. Its tooltip says to shift right click to change the pull setting, so check that before you rely on it.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| any wooden rod | Empty slot | Empty slot |
| Empty slot | any iron ingot | any iron ingot |
Recipe id: utilitarian:trowel
Redstone tools
The Redstone Clock gives you a pulse you can tune. Right click the placed block with an empty hand to change the pulse frequency, and sneak to increase it faster.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | any redstone dust | Empty slot |
| any redstone dust | Chiseled Stone Bricks | any redstone dust |
| Empty slot | any redstone dust | Empty slot |

The Tps Meter outputs a redstone signal based on the dimension's TPS.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | Comparator | Empty slot |
| Comparator | any obsidian | Comparator |
| Empty slot | Comparator | Empty slot |
Recipe id: utilitarian:tps_meter
Quality of life blocks
The Sound Muffler mutes sounds within a set block radius.[3]
The Lapis Lamp lights up an area on the client side only. Its tooltip puts it plainly: it's still dark, you just can't see it.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | any lapi gems | Empty slot |

| Empty slot | any lapi gems | Empty slot |

Traders and raiders
A White Soliciting Carpet makes arriving traders end up on that block instead of in your face. It comes in many colours, each with its own recipe.[2][3]

The No Raider Block goes in an outpost to stop raiders from returning.[3]

Drit is a block that grass can grow on, and it is craftable in this pack.[2][3]

How does Utilitarian work?
6 parts
Utilitarian is a set of small utility blocks and items. The sources for this pack describe each one through its in-game text and data files, so this section walks through what they confirm. They don't explain any power, fluid or multiblock systems for the mod, so I'm not going to make any up.[3]
Redstone tools
The Redstone Clock pulses on its own. Right click the block with an empty hand to change the pulse frequency, and sneak while doing it to increase the frequency faster. The block shows a "Clock frequency" message so you can see where you've set it.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | any redstone dust | Empty slot |
| any redstone dust | Chiseled Stone Bricks | any redstone dust |
| Empty slot | any redstone dust | Empty slot |
Recipe id: utilitarian:redstone_clock
The in-pack recipe for the Redstone Clock.
The Tps Meter outputs a redstone signal based on the TPS of the dimension it is in. That makes it handy for hooking up a lag warning or a shutoff to your redstone.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | Comparator | Empty slot |
| Comparator | any obsidian | Comparator |
| Empty slot | Comparator | Empty slot |
Recipe id: utilitarian:tps_meter
Lamps and sound
The Lapis Lamp lights up an area on the client side only. The tooltip says it's still dark, you just can't see it. So it changes what you see, not what the world actually does. The pack also has Inverted Lapis Lamp and Inverted Redstone Lamp variants.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | any lapi gems | Empty slot |
| any lapi gems | Redstone Lamp | any lapi gems |
| Empty slot | any lapi gems | Empty slot |
Recipe id: utilitarian:lapis_lamp
The Sound Muffler (Sound Muffler) mutes sounds within a set block radius, and it is part of the mod's muffler block tag. The sources here don't show what that radius is.[3][4]
Traders and raiders
Soliciting carpets are for wandering trader handling. Arriving traders will end up on the carpet instead of in your face. The trapped version of each carpet will kill the trader instead, which the tooltip cheerfully calls monstrous. Each carpet comes in a normal and a trapped form, for example Blue Soliciting Carpet and Blue Trapped Soliciting Carpet.[3]
The No Raider Block is meant to be placed in an outpost to stop raiders from returning. In the mod's data, the outposts structure tag contains only the pillager outpost.[3][5]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | Crossbow | Empty slot |
| White Wool | Empty slot | White Wool |
| Empty slot | White Wool | Empty slot |
Recipe id: utilitarian:no_soliciting/no_raider_block
Drit, grrass and snad
Drit hurts when you touch it, but grass can grow on it. That grass is Grrass, which also hurts. Don't let it be struck by lightning, because that is what makes it cursed. Both can kill you, and the death messages call it "angry grass".[3]
Breaking Cursed Grrass with a Silk Touch tool gives you the block itself. Without Silk Touch it drops Drit.[6]
Crafting Shaped
| Dirt | Dirt | Dirt |
| Dirt | Bone | Dirt |
| Dirt | Dirt | Dirt |
Recipe id: utilitarian:snad/drit
The mod also adds Snad, Red Snad and Soul Snad. This pack adds Snad and Red Snad to the Agritech: Evolved sand soils tag, and Soul Snad to its soul sand soils tag, so Agritech: Evolved (ATE) crops can use them as soil.[3][7]
Trowel
The Trowel has a pull setting. Shift right click to change it.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| any wooden rod | Empty slot | Empty slot |
| Empty slot | any iron ingot | any iron ingot |
Recipe id: utilitarian:trowel
What the pack changed
The pack removes the Utilitarian redying recipes for stained glass, so those recipes don't exist here even though the mod has them by default.[8]
How do you progress through Utilitarian?
3 parts
Here's the honest picture for this mod: the sources I have show no tier ladder for Utilitarian, and nothing that orders its items by progression. What they do show is how each item is made. Every Utilitarian item in the recipe dump is a plain crafting-table recipe, either shaped or shapeless, so none of them needs a special machine.[2]
Shaped recipes
These items use a shaped pattern, so the layout in the grid matters. Use the recipe blocks below for the exact in-pack layout.[2]
- Angel Block has a normal shaped recipe and a separate "rot" shaped recipe in the pack.[2]
- Fluid Hopper, Lapis Lamp, Redstone Clock, Tps Meter, Trowel and Well Behaved Dropper are shaped.[2]
- No Raider Block, No Soliciting Banner and Drit are also shaped.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | any feather | Empty slot |
| any gold ingot | any obsidian | any gold ingot |
| Empty slot | any feather | Empty slot |
Recipe id: utilitarian:angel_block

| Empty slot | any iron ingot | any iron ingot |
Recipe id: utilitarian:trowel
Shapeless recipes
These items are shapeless, so you can place the ingredients anywhere in the grid.[2]
- The lamps: Inverted Lapis Lamp and Inverted Redstone Lamp.[2]
- The Snad family: Snad, Red Snad and Soul Snad.[2]
- Sound Muffler and Unname Tag.[2]
- Restraining Order, plus every colour of soliciting carpet and trapped soliciting carpet, for example Black Soliciting Carpet and Black Trapped Soliciting Carpet.[2]
Crafting Shapeless
- Black Carpet
- any small flower
Recipe id: utilitarian:no_soliciting/soliciting_carpets/black_soliciting_carpet
The other carpet colours have their own recipes in the same group.
What drops when you break them
The black, blue, brown, cyan and gray soliciting carpets and their trapped versions, plus Drit and the Fluid Hopper, all drop themselves when broken, so you can pick them up and move them without losing them.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]
