*NOTE* These star ratings will degrade over time as the mines are exploited. They are a reflection of the quantity & quality of resources scouted when the rating is given, not a reflection of the nearby towns or builds.

CRAFTING

The Grand Workshop in Aridnea hosts a number of machines and resources for large scale manufacturing & crafting. We highly recommend a visit, all machines and materials are open to the public.

List of current facilities in and around the Aridnea workshop

• Tall Crop Auto Harvester (works with sugarcane & bamboo, could also be modified for kelp. Powered by bonemeal)
• Auto Composter (dispose of unneeded plant matter in exchange for bonemeal
• Auto Wood Log Farming Machine (powered by bonemeal, and requires an operator)
• TBC Dyery (multiple cauldrons for easy leather dyeing)
• Auto Mud Crafter (applies water bottles to dirt blocks you place and moves/sorts the mud)
• Mud to Clay drying rack (64 block capacity)
• Concreting pit (lay out concrete powder in the ditch then cover in water)
• Public Storage Repository Warehouse (supply of almost every block in the world)
• Auto Water Harvest Crop Farms (these are around spawn)
• Top level sleeping quarters (multiple beds for convenience)
• Lava Farm (renewable fuel, down in the mine)
• The Refinery (large auto furnaces & blast furnaces for large scale smelting, down in the mine)

SMITHING

Lava buckets are the most efficient fuel in game, cooking 100 items with one bucket, and you can reuse the buckets! A simple, renewable, afk 'lava farm' can be made by placing a lava source block above any stone block, with a dripstone on the bottom of that and a cauldron below to collect the dripping lava. See this tutorial: Lava Farming

List of current lava farms in realm:

• Aridnea Forge
• Ravine Mine/Workshop Refinery (Aridnea)
• The Observatory
• Everburn (by the nether portal, walk through painting)
• Sakura Valley (inside The Base)
• Fort Pryvoca?
• Mines of Corruption

Auto Smelters are an extremely useful and simple to build machine. Basically two furnaces/smokers/blast furnaces and a series of hoppers & chests, can allow you to dump two chests worth of items to cook in one end, and afk smelt them all for you. These are located at numerous places throughout realm, but are very simple and cheap to build yourself. See this tutorial: Automatic Smelting

Smithing villagers (Toolsmith, Weaponsmith, Armoursmith) will trade emeralds for tools, weapons and armour. Typically they start with iron equipment, but as they skill up (through trading), they will offer diamond equipment with enchantments! This is often a lot easier than mining, smelting, crafting, enchanting everything yourself.

List of known skilled smithing villager locations

• Aridnea Citadel & 'Mudbrick Hamlet'
• Sakura Valley
• Luvana
• Deepslate Peak
• The Meadows

BUILDING

The Storage Repository (located in the Aridnea Workshop) & Plant Depository (located at spawn), contain stock of almost every block available in world. These are publicly accessible at all times, anyone is free to take from or add to the storage there as they please! Both are proximal to various transport options including railways, docks and highways.
