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 may not fully reflect the values configured for this pack.

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. {image\:\ftb:textures/quests/direthings/impure_daisy.png width:200 height:100 align:center} 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

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

It's like a Coal Generator that fits into your pocket! It burns fuel sources to generate energy to power the items in your inventory!

Asks for: Pocket Generator

This upgrade works just like the Smelter upgrade, and allows you to autosmelt mob drops when installed.

Asks for: Upgrade: Smoker

Ferricore tools are a little better than Iron and most can be equipped with Upgrades. The Ferricore Hoe to till dirt will create Primogel Soil, which works a little faster than standard farmland.

When used, this upgrade will allow x-ray vision of all ores through the walls around you.

Asks for: Upgrade: Ore X-Ray

This Simple Block Breaker is bound and determined to use its tool to break the block in front of it. Even if the tool is a stick and the block is obsidian. It'll get there.

Asks for: Simple Block Breaker

When installed in the Eclipse Alloy Chestplate, this upgrade allows you to have creative flight.

Asks for: Upgrade: Flight

Asks for: Simple Block Placer

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

There are several types of Fluids you can create. Some are just simple fuels used to create more power, while others are used to bind time and space. To create these fluids, you'll need to start by making Polymorphic Catalysts from Blazegold. Drop one of these into water to convert it to Polymorphic Fluid.

Asks for: Polymorphic Catalyst

Blazegold Armor can be repaired by being thrown into Lava, converting the lava into obsidian once repaired.

Asks for: Blazegold Boots, Blazegold Chestplate, Blazegold Helmet, Blazegold Leggings

The Blazejet Wand is a great tool for getting around. This wand comes with the Air Burst ability. When used, it will boost you forward a few blocks. You can even upgrade it to unlock even more abilities!

Asks for: Blazejet Wand

Blazegold Tools can be repaired by being thrown into Lava, converting the lava into obsidian once repaired. When using a Blazegold Hoe to till dirt, you'll create Blazebloom Soil. This soil grows crops faster and 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.

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, VoidShimmer Goo, Goo Upgrader T2

Celestigem Armor uses Energy instead of durability and are a little better than Diamond-tier.

Asks for: Celestigem Boots, Celestigem Chestplate, Celestigem Helmet, Celestigem Leggings

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

Time Fluid is used in the Paradox Mixer, primarily used for the Pina Colada craft. It can also be used to power Budding Time Crystals. You'll want to make the Echoing Budding Time Block once you're able to so that you can mass-produce Time Clusters. It requires Energy and Time Fluid to run.

Asks for: Time Fluid Bucket, Echoing Budding Time

The Stabilizer can be placed under your existing Goos to revive them using FE instead of feeding them items every now and then.

Asks for: Stabilizer

Celestigem Tools uses Energy instead of durability and are a little better than Diamond-tier. With the Celestigem Hoe, you can use it to create VoidShimmer Soil. Upgrading your hoe with the Drops Teleport Upgrade and binding it to an inventory before tilling the soil will cause the crops to autoharvest directly into the bound inventory instead. At this tier, you can now combine the shovel, pickaxe, and axe to create the Celestigem Paxel. This tool can accept any of the upgrades for each of the tools used to craft it.

Asks for: Celestigem Paxel

When equipped to a Just Dire's Pickaxe, right-clicking will activate the ability and make nearby ores glow through walls.

Asks for: Upgrade: Ore Scanner

A Simple Clicker block is a quite powerful little device. Despite being called simple, it has a few more options than the other simple machines. They're all straightforward though, try them on this note block here!

Asks for: Simple Clicker

With access to Ferricore, you can make many of the simple machines that the mod offers. With new machines, it wouldn't hurt to make the Ferricore Wrench. This tool can rotate machines by right-clicking, or Sneak + Right-clicking will insta-break them for you. The Machine Settings Copier does exactly what you think! Sneak + Right-clicking on a machine with it will copy the settings to the copier, then right-clicking on a different machine will paste the settings.

Asks for: Ferricore Wrench, Machine Settings Copier

Eclipse Alloy Armor is the highest tier from the mod.

Asks for: Upgrade: Hammer

When equipped in a Just Dire's Sword, this upgrade allows you to scan for nearby mobs by right-clicking with the sword.

Asks for: Upgrade: Mob Scanner
