# Converter

A converter is a special in-world interaction block that can 'craft' various items and produce certain liquids infinitely (given a series of steps is followed first).

It had a new model created for the NeoForge version of the block, as the old one didn't work too well for what the block did. The recipe was also updated to be more expensive.



First of all, you'll need to make the device. It requires some expensive items.

List of items:

B -> Base Component

I -> Netherite Ingot

R -> Breeze Rod

S -> Nether Star

T -> Calibrated Sculk Sensor

Recipe Configuration In Crafting Table:

\[ TST ]

\[ I B I ]

\[ R  R ]





Place the converter down in the world. You'll need a Pickaxe to pick it back up again.

Craft a Purifying Water Bucket to start the journey towards the weapons and tools in this mod.

Right click the Purifying Water Bucket on the Converter, and a Golden Apple Shard will pop out the top with particle effects and sounds. You will lose the Purifying Water in exchange for the shard.

## Converter Recipes are hardcoded for now.

This means that datapacks cannot override, add, or remove recipes that the Converter uses.



### Want to craft Purifying Tools and Weapons? Start here.

First, you'll need the Combiner. The combiner adds new recipe types called 'combining'. More info on the page '[Combing](combing-1.21+-thingamajigs-2-goodies-crafting-type)'.

Once you've got the grasp of how the Combiner works, go ahead and craft one. You'll need it for the next steps.
