- Large Barrel · spores kept → 2 Stone Barrels · blackstone → Forge Hammer → Sieve · blackstone
- 4 Stone Barrels · cobble → 3 Forge Hammers → Sieve · gravel (also 3 Forge Hammers → 2 Forge Hammers)
- 2 Forge Hammers → Sieve · sand → Lapidary Dynamo + LV kit → 2 LV 4A Converters (also 2 Forge Hammers → Forge Hammer)
- Forge Hammer → Sieve · dust
How to build¶
- Water first. Each Stone Barrel drinks 1 B per block, so 4 cobble barrels need 320 B per minute (about 270 mB/t). One Aqueous Accumulator keeps two barrels busy (your current line), so use 4, or fewer with an LV Upgrade Kit inside. Run Pipez fluid pipes to every barrel. —
thermal:device_water_gen,pipez:fluid_pipe - 4 Stone Barrels with a lava bucket inside (kept) and ghost circuit 0: 4 × 80 = 320 cobble per minute. The block needs 288 (96 for each of the gravel, sand and dust sieves). —
gtceu:stone_barrel,minecraft:lava_bucket - Witch water: a Large Barrel with mycelium spores in its input bus (kept) turns 1 B of water into 1 B of witch water every 4 s, 15 B per minute. —
gtceu:large_barrel,exnihilosequentia:mycelium_spores - 2 more Stone Barrels with lava kept and witch water piped in make blackstone (1 B witch water each). They are only as fast as the witch water: 2 Large Barrels give 30 blackstone per minute; 7 would feed the sieve at full speed (96). —
gtceu:stone_barrel,minecraft:blackstone - 3 Forge Hammers turn cobble into gravel (0.5 s and 16 EU/t each, 120 per minute per hammer, 360 total for the 288 needed). Barrels auto-output into a drawer; Pipez item pipes in round-robin feed the hammers. —
gtceu:lv_forge_hammer - The gravel drawer splits: one third to the gravel sieve, two thirds to 2 more hammers (gravel to sand, 192 per minute). The sand drawer splits half to the sand sieve, half to 1 hammer (sand to dust, 96 per minute). —
minecraft:gravel,functionalstorage:oak_1 - The 7th hammer crushes blackstone into crushed blackstone for the fourth sieve. —
exnihilosequentia:crushed_blackstone - 4 Mechanical Sieves, each with a string mesh in its input bus (never used up). Every 40 s at 30 EU/t: gravel gives 16 copper, iron, tin, sphalerite and magnetite; sand 16 quartz, diamond, lapis, amethyst and emerald; dust 16 redstone and glowstone, 4 sulfur and 4 ender pearls; crushed blackstone 16 galena and 16 stibnite. —
gtceu:mechanical_sieve,exnihilosequentia:string_mesh - Power from its own diamonds: a pipe with a filter sends diamonds from the sand sieve into a Lapidary Dynamo with an LV Upgrade Kit (200 × 6 = 1 200 RF/t = 300 EU/t). One diamond is 300 000 RF here, so the block burns about 3.4 of the 24 diamonds it makes per minute. —
thermal:dynamo_lapidary,kubejs:lv_upgrade_kit,minecraft:diamond - 2 LV 4A Energy Converters (128 EU/t each, 256 total) turn the FE into EU; soul infused wire runs to the 7 hammers and 4 sieves. Peak draw is 4 × 30 + 7 × 16 = 232 EU/t. —
gtceu:lv_4a_energy_converter,gtceu:soul_infused_quadruple_wire - No Lapidary Dynamo yet? Use the Create steam option instead: 3 Steam Engines + 4 Generator Coils give about 307 EU/t for roughly 2 charcoal per minute (see "Create steam power"). —
create:steam_engine,create_new_age:generator_coil - Bootstrap: the dynamo needs its first diamond. Put a few in by hand, or run the sand sieve once from any other power. —

Tips¶
- Every sieve eats 64 blocks per 40 s = 96 per minute. Amounts shown are per 40 s batch.
- The whole block draws about 210 EU/t (232 at peak). Before you have a Lapidary Dynamo, power it with Steam Engines + Generator Coils (see the power options).
- Witch water is the slow part: full speed on the blackstone sieve needs 96 B per minute (7 Large Barrels). Two barrels run it about a third of the time.
