How does Dark Utilities work?
6 parts
Same as in the Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.51.4-hotfix-2 guide
Dark Utilities works differently from a tech mod. The sources for this pack describe no machines, multiblocks, power or fluid handling for it. What they do describe is placed blocks that react to whatever walks over or through them, some redstone components, and a few carried items. Among the plate tooltips, only the Slow Fall plate describes its effect as temporary. Here is how each group behaves.[1][2]
Vector plates: moving mobs around
Vector plates are flat, rotatable blocks that push mobs and other entities around. Mobs can spawn on top of them, which is why they are a popular way to move mobs in mob farms.[2]
They come in several speeds, according to their tooltips. The Vector Plate lightly pushes mobs, the Fast Vector Plate pushes them quickly, the Extreme Vector Plate pushes them rapidly, and the Ultra Vector Plate pushes them at lightning speeds. The mod has an advancement for obtaining the Ultra one, and it calls it mysterious. The sources give no recipe for the Extreme or Ultra plates.[1]

Mob filters: letting only some mobs through
Mob filters are blocks that only let certain types of mob pass through. The hostile filter, for example, only lets hostile mobs walk through it.[2]
The mod's language file lists these filter groups: animal, arthropod, child, equipment, fire immune, freeze immune, golem, hostile, illager, named, passenger, pet, player, raid, slime, undead, villager and water. The passenger filter lets mounts, vehicles and their passengers through, and the equipment filter lets through mobs that have equipment.[1]
These filters have a crafting recipe in the pack: Mob Filter (Animal), Mob Filter (Arthropod), Mob Filter (Child), Mob Filter (Equipment) and Mob Filter (Villager). The villager one is changed by the pack.[3]

Effect plates
Other plates apply an effect to entities that step on them, according to their tooltips. Only the Slow Fall plate's tooltip says its effect is temporary, and the others give no duration. The tooltips describe them like this:[1]
- Alert Plate: the tooltip says entities that step on it will glow.[1]
- Damage Plate: the tooltip says it hurts anything that walks on it.[1]
- Maim Plate: the tooltip says it causes non-lethal damage to anything that walks on it.[1]
- Player Damage Plate: the tooltip says it causes player damage to anything that walks on it.[1]
- Darkness Plate: the tooltip says it darkens the vision of entities that step on it.[1]
- Misfortune Plate: the tooltip says entities that step on it will have bad luck.[1]
- Slow Fall plate: the tooltip says entities that step on it will temporarily fall slowly.[1]
- Fatigue, Flame, Frost, Hunger, Levitation, Ominous, Poison, Slowness, Weakness and Wither plates also exist. Their tooltips say they fatigue, burn, start to freeze, hunger, levitate, bring a bad omen to, poison, slow, weaken or wither entities that step on them. The sources give no recipes for these or for the Slow Fall plate.[1]
The Player Damage Plate causes player damage to any mob that steps on it.[2]

The Redstone Randomizer toggles on and off at random and emits a redstone signal while it is on. Shielded Redstone emits a signal in only one direction.[1][2]

The Tome of Enchanting refreshes enchanting options by using some EXP, and the Tome of Shadows lets entities and certain blocks be hidden from view. The sources give no recipes for those last ones.[1]
