Just Dire Things

Just Dire Things (JDT) is a cool tech mod that despite the name, actually adds some impressive and slightly overpowered Gadgets, Tools and Armors! To get started with this mod, you'll need to craft the Primogel Goo.

Just Dyna Things is an addon mod for JDT which adds several new blocks and quality of life things to enhance your playthrough. Note that the [G] guide does not fully reflect the values configured for this pack.

Need to swap two simple blocks with as little hassle as possible? Try the Swapper Wand! Any two simple blocks can be swapped by using it on the two blocks you want to swap. Note: If it's for processing or has an interface, it's probably too complex to swap. May not work correctly swapping blocks between dimensions

Asks for: Swapper Wand

By placing these expensive machines against a hot block like magma or Primal Coal, coolant can be pumped in to generate energy. While water is easy enough to source, polymorphic fluid is more than twice as good and Time Fluid is ten times better. Consider automating these coolants for large amounts of power!

Asks for: Thermo Generator

A redstone-controllable trashcan! This block will void any liquid, item, or energy inside of it when active. It can also be used as a sneaky high-capacity fluid tank or energy buffer while disabled.

Asks for: Blackhole

There are various budding blocks that take time and sometimes use odd mechanics to grow their crystals. By converting them to Echoing Budding blocks, you can bypass these restrictions using energy and Time Fluid to quickly grow crystals.

Asks for: Echoing Budding Amethyst, Echoing Budding Certus, Echoing Budding Entro, Echoing Budding Time

Need to grab a block and place it somewhere else with as little hassle as possible? Try the Picker Wand! Any simple block can be picked up and placed back down by using it. Note: If it's used for processing things, or has an interface, it's probably too complex to pick'n'place.

Asks for: Picker Wand

A solid block that you can choose whether you want to walk through it or not! Right-click it to toggle its current state While mobs don't know how to walk through this in its non-solid state, they can still be pushed or fall through.

Asks for: Phase Box

The Ferricore Clock is a redstone device that turns on and off on all active sides on a timer. Interact with a side to toggle its state, and sneak-interact to adjust the timer.

Asks for: Ferricore Clock

JDT has a very unique mechanic for acquiring its materials. It starts by making Goo which will spread onto other blocks to convert them over time. The first Goo that you'll make is called Primogel Goo, which takes only a few basic materials.

Asks for: Primogel Goo

Now that we have some Primogel Goo, we can use it to see how this mechanic works. Start by placing down the Primogel Goo somewhere in an open space, then activate it by giving it either Sugar or Rotten Flesh. You can now place Iron Blocks on any of its faces to start the conversion. You'll notice the Goo slowly starting to spread over, taking it completely over. Once the process is complete, you'll be left with Raw Ferricore Ore. Some Shaders will not properly display this effect, so you might want to disable them if you want to see the changes. Mining this ore will give you Raw Ferricore, which you can smelt down into Ferricore Ingots. Note: Fortune does not work on these ores. You will typically get between 3 or 4 raw ores.

Asks for: Ferricore Ingot, Raw Ferricore, Iron Block

If you think the Simple Coal Generator is good, you should try out the Simple Fuel Generator. Instead of burning coal, this uses the special Fuels from the mod, with the highest tier producing 4k RF/t.

Asks for: Simple Fuel Generator, Blaze Ember Fuel Bucket, Voidflame Fuel Bucket, Eclipse Ember Fuel Bucket

Primogel Goo can also spread over other items, like Coal blocks! These blocks will be converted to Primal Coal, which is a much better fuel source.

Asks for: Primal Coal

Almost every tool in the mod has an Upgrade available for them. To use these, you'll need to create the Upgrade first, then combine it with the tool or armor piece inside of a Smithing Table. Note: Holding shift on the item will show you what upgrades are available for the tool! Some upgrades can only apply to higher tier items.

Asks for: Upgrade: Blank

The Ferricore Pickaxe is a slightly better pickaxe than an Iron pick. It has 2 potential upgrades. The Ore Miner upgrade allows you to mine an entire ore vein all at once, while the Ore Scanner allows you to search for nearby ores within walls.

The Simple Coal Generator from Just Dire Things takes burning coal to a new level. While this can burn regular burnable items like coal or wood, it can also burn the different tiers of coal from the mod itself, like Primal Coal! Using these special coals will produce more power, with the higher tiers producing up to 960 RF/t.

Asks for: Primal Coal, Blaze Ember, Voidflame Coal, Eclipse Ember, Simple Coal Generator

The Item Collector from Just Dire Things is a highly configurable collector. Inside of the interface, you can adjust the radius up to a max of 11x11x11, but can also offset where the machine collects if needed. You can also adjust even more options like filtering which items it can pick up, or how fast it picks items up.

Asks for: Item Collector

Once you've gathered some materials from the Nether, you can upgrade to the next tier of Goo. Blazebloom Goo will allow you to create a new tier of metal called Blazegold by converting Blocks of Gold, just like we did with Iron. To activate it, you'll need to feed it either Nether Wart or Blaze Powder. It also retains the ability to create Ferricore Ore, so no need to make another Primogel Goo just for Iron. Not only that, it converts Iron faster than Primogel!

Asks for: Blazebloom Goo, Raw Blazegold, Goo Upgrader T1

JDT templates can be used like regular Smithing Templates to upgrade your gear to the next tier.

Asks for: Template: Blazegold

When using a Blazegold Hoe to till dirt, you'll create Blazebloom Soil. This soil is faster than the previous tier soil, but also autoharvests fully grown crops by itself. When this happens, the items will only stay in the world for about 2 seconds! Make sure to collect them using an Item Collector.

Asks for: Blazegold Hoe

The Blazegold Sword is the next tier sword in the mod. This sword allows for more upgrades, as well as the ability to be repaired by throwing the sword in Lava.

Asks for: Blazegold Sword

The next tier of Goo is called VoidShimmer Goo, and allows you to convert Diamond Blocks into Celestigems. To activate it, you'll need to feed it either Ender Pearls or Chorus Fruit. Just like previous tiers, this Goo can also produce the previous resources, and at a faster rate.

Asks for: Celestigem Bow

With the Celestigem Hoe, you can use it to create VoidShimmer Soil. This soil is faster than the previous tier, and will also autoharvest fully grown crops. Since the Celestigem Hoe can be upgraded with the Drops Teleport Upgrade, you can bind it to an inventory and then till out the soil. This will cause the crops to autoharvest and collect into the bound inventory instead!

Asks for: Celestigem Hoe

After challenging the Deep Dark's denizen, you can make the final tier of goo: Shadowpulse Goo. This Goo can convert Netherite Blocks into Eclipse Alloy Ore. To activate it, you'll need to feed it either Sculk or Sculk Catalysts. Just like previous tiers, this can also convert all previous ingot blocks at an increased rate.

Asks for: Shadowpulse Goo, Raw Eclipse Alloy, Goo Upgrader T3

Shadowpulse Goo can also be used to convert Budding Amethyst into Budding Time Crystal Blocks. To create and harvest Time Crystals from these, you'll need to make use of Swapper machines. To start, place the Budding Time Crystal block in the overworld (also works for other overworld-like dimensions). After a little bit of time, the block will make a noise and change colors. It means it's ready to be moved! The next step will be moving the Budding Time Crystal block to the Nether for it to absorb more energy there. Just like before, it will make a sound and change colors when ready. Finally, you'll need to transport the Budding block to the End. It will absorb the dimension's energies and start to grow Time Crystals. Be careful not to harvest any crystal that isn't fully grown! Over time, it will lose the energies it has absorbed and will need to be brought back to each dimension to recharge. This means you'll need to move the small crystal buds as well! To move the block and growing crystals, you'll need to use the Advanced Swapper.

Asks for: Advanced Swapper, Time Crystal

The Eclipse Alloy Hoe can create the ultimate tier of farmland: Shadowpulse Soil. This farmland is faster than all previous tiers, as well as retaining all previous abilities like autoharvesting.
