• Creating Circuit Paste

Usage

Crafting Items

Obtaining Input Items

To obtain one mercury bottle, the user will need collect the following materials

• Water from Water Buckets
• Input Ingredients (E.g. Cinnabar for Mercury Bottles)
• Glass Bottle (For Mercury Bottles)
• Burnable Items

Usage in GUI

Once the input materials are collected, they must be arranged as shown below. Once all input items have been placed in the correct slots, the Alembic will begin distillation.

The ongoing distillation process is indicated through smoke particles and the block displaying the "on" state.

After a short period of time, the following behaviour would occur:

1. Water Bucket will be used up and turned into an Empty Bucket.
2. Fuel is burned.
3. Input Ingredient is used.
4. The output slot on the bottom right will produce the resulting item.
   1. If Mercury is generated, the Mercury Tank will be filled.
      

Collecting Mercury from Mercury Tank

1. To collect Mercury from the Mercury tank part of the Alembic, place a Glass Bottle in the top right hand slot as shown above.
2. The glass bottle will be used up and Mercury Bottles will be dispensed in the bottom right hand slot.

Notes

• Breaking the Block will allow it to drop its inventory items
• The distilllation process cannot be automated with Hopper sytems

Figure 1 - The default "Off" state of the 1.14.4 Alembic model. This will show if the Alembic does not contain enough materials to distillate.	Figure 2 - The "On" state of the 1.14.4 Alembic model. This state will display if the Alemic is currently in the process of distilling mercury.
