Create: Enchantable Machinery in FTB Skies 2

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide

Create: Enchantable Machinery is an add-on for Create that lets you apply vanilla enchantments to Create blocks. The idea is to make your machines more convenient and efficient, and a bit more magical to look at. This pack ships version 3.6.0 for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge.^[1][2]

Who it's for

If you already build Create setups and want to squeeze more out of them, this is for you. You can also enchant the blocks on an enchantment table. If you wear goggles, you can see which enchantment a block has.^[1]

What you can enchant

• Mechanical Drill: Efficiency, Fortune and Silk Touch, plus other enchantments that can be applied to a pickaxe.^[1]
• Mechanical Saw: Efficiency, Fortune and Silk Touch.^[1]
• Mechanical Harvester: Fortune.^[1]
• Crushing Wheel: Efficiency and Silk Touch.^[1]
• Mechanical Plough, Encased Fan, Millstone, Mechanical Press and Mechanical Mixer: Efficiency.^[1]

The mod also works with enchantments added by other mods. The project page gives the smelting enchantment from Majrusz's Enchantments as an example. I can't confirm from my sources whether that mod is in this pack, so check your own instance before you count on it.^[1]

Where it fits in the pack

Unverified My sources don't show where this mod fits in the pack's progression. They also show no quests that involve it, and it isn't on the ATM Star path. Treat it as an optional upgrade for your Create machines.

This add-on doesn't give you a new machine to build. It lets you put vanilla-style enchantments on Create machines you already use, so they work faster or more conveniently. Your first steps are about choosing which machine to enchant first.^[1]

Unverified The sources I have show no recipes or quests for this mod in the pack, so there is no crafting step here. Enchanting is the whole workflow.

Step by step

1. Get a pair of Engineers' Goggles and wear them. With the goggles on, you can see which enchantments a machine has, so you can check that your enchanting worked.^[1][3]
2. Enchant a Mechanical Drill first. It can be enchanted with an enchanting table or an anvil, like any other tool. Efficiency increases its mining speed, and Silk Touch also works.^[1][3]
3. Enchant your processing line next. The Encased Fan, Millstone, Mechanical Press and Mechanical Mixer can take Efficiency, and the Crushing Wheel can too. With Efficiency they process items faster.^[1][3]
4. Enchant the Mechanical Saw if you cut wood. Efficiency raises its item-processing speed, and a Silk Touch saw can fell trees.^[3]
5. Enchant the Mechanical Harvester for farming. Fortune can yield more crops.^[1][3]

Good to know

The Crushing Wheel works in pairs. Its pulverizing speed depends on the combined enchantment levels of both wheels, so enchant both of them to get the full benefit.^[3]

The mod also works with enchantments from other mods. The project page gives a smelting enchantment from Majrusz's Enchantments as an example.^[1]

Same as in the FTB StoneBlock 4 1.22.0 guide

Create: Enchantable Machinery lets you apply some vanilla enchantments to Create blocks. The project page says that by enchanting a Create block, you can use it more conveniently and efficiently.^[1]

Which machines can be enchanted

The mod's tag of enchantable blocks covers these Create machines: the Mechanical Drill, Mechanical Saw, Mechanical Harvester, Encased Fan, Millstone, Crushing Wheel, Mechanical Plough, Mechanical Mixer, Mechanical Press, Mechanical Roller and Spout. In the Ponder menu they are grouped under the Enchantable Machinery tag.^[4][5]

Here is what the in-game Ponder scenes say each machine gains.^[5]

• Mechanical Drill: Efficiency raises its mining speed and Silk Touch mining works. It can take any enchantment that applies to mining tools.^[4][5]
• Mechanical Saw: Efficiency raises how efficiently it processes items, and enchantments also apply when it is cutting logs. It can take any enchantment that applies to mining tools.^[4][5]
• Mechanical Harvester: it can be enchanted with Silk Touch, and Fortune can yield more crops.^[4][5]
• Mechanical Plough: Efficiency raises its mining speed.^[4][5]
• Mechanical Roller: Efficiency lets it break blocks faster.^[4][5]
• Encased Fan, Millstone, Mechanical Mixer and Mechanical Press: Efficiency lets each of them process items faster.^[4][5]
• Crushing Wheel: Efficiency makes it pulverize items faster. The speed increase depends on the combined enchantment levels of both Crushing Wheels in the pair.^[4][5]
• Spout: Efficiency lets it fill items with liquids faster.^[4][5]

Applying and checking enchantments

Machines are enchanted like other tools, with an enchanting table or an anvil. If you wear Engineers' Goggles, you can look at a machine in the world and see which enchantments it has.^[1][5]

The project page says the mod meshes with enchantments from other mods, and gives the smelting enchantment from Majrusz's Enchantments as an example of that integration.^[1]

Keeping enchantments when you move a machine

When you break an enchantable machine, the block's loot table drops the matching Create item and copies the enchantments from the block over to it. You can pick a machine up and place it somewhere else without losing its enchantments. This applies to every machine in the list above.^{[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]}

Stress in this pack

The pack's config file sets a stress impact value for several of the enchantable machines. These are the values it uses:^[17]

• Crushing Wheel: 8, set by kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_crushing_wheel.^[17]
• Mechanical Press: 8, set by kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_mechanical_press.^[17]
• Mechanical Drill: 4, set by kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_mechanical_drill.^[17]
• Mechanical Mixer: 4, set by kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_mechanical_mixer.^[17]
• Mechanical Saw: 4, set by kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_mechanical_saw.^[17]
• Millstone: 4, set by kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_millstone.^[17]
• Encased Fan: 2, set by kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_encased_fan.^[17]

Same as in the FTB StoneBlock 4 1.22.0 guide

There is no tier ladder for this mod that I can confirm from the pack's data, so I'm not going to invent one. What the sources do show is which Create machines the mod works with, and what happens to their enchantments when you break them.^[4]

Machines that can be enchanted

The mod's enchantable blocks tag covers these Create machines: Mechanical Drill, Mechanical Saw, Mechanical Harvester, Encased Fan, Millstone, Crushing Wheel, Mechanical Plough, Mechanical Mixer, Mechanical Press, Mechanical Roller and Spout. They are all treated the same way, with no ranking between them.^[4]

Keeping your enchantments

When you break an enchanted machine, you get the normal Create item back, and its enchantments are copied over from the placed machine. The mod's loot tables confirm this for the crushing wheel, encased fan, mechanical drill, harvester, mixer, plough, press, roller and saw.^{[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]}

Unverified The millstone and spout are in the enchantable tag, but their drop behaviour could not be checked here. Which enchantments you can put on each machine, and how you apply them, are also unconfirmed.

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide

This add-on has very few settings. The ones you're most likely to care about are the stress impact of each enchantable machine and one client-side visual toggle. Here's exactly how the pack sets them.^[18][19]

Stress impact of enchantable machines

The common config sets a stress impact for every enchantable machine. If you're planning a kinetic setup, these are the values to check, because they decide how much load each machine puts on your network.^[19]

• kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_crushing_wheel is set to 8.^[19]
• kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_mechanical_press is set to 8.^[19]
• kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_mechanical_drill is set to 4.^[19]
• kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_mechanical_mixer is set to 4.^[19]
• kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_mechanical_saw is set to 4.^[19]
• kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_millstone is set to 4.^[19]
• kinetics.stressValues.v2.impact.enchantable_encased_fan is set to 2.^[19]

The crushing wheel and the press are the heaviest on this list, and the encased fan is the lightest.^[19]

Client visuals

In the client config, renderGlint is set to true in this pack.^[18]

FTB Skies 2 1.23.0 ships with version 3.6.0 of the mod (the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21.1). It has been in the pack since FTB Skies 2 1.0.1 or earlier, so you've had it from the early days.^[20]

Unverified No pack changelog entries for this mod were available, so any changes the pack itself made to it are unverified.
