Creating Your First ItemMagnet

This guide walks through creating and configuring your first RS-ItemMagnet.


Step 1 - Place a Lodestone

Place a Lodestone where you want your ItemMagnet to operate.

The Lodestone serves as the machine block for the ItemMagnet.


Step 2 - Convert the Machine

Open the RS-ItemMagnet menu.

Select:

Convert Machine

Then click the Lodestone.

The Lodestone is now an RS-ItemMagnet.


Step 3 - Assign a Container

Open the machine menu.

Select:

Assign Container

Then click the container you want the machine to use.

Supported containers include:

  • Chests
  • Barrels
  • Hoppers
  • Other supported inventory blocks

Step 4 - Configure Radius

Open:

Radius Settings

Select the collection radius you want the machine to use.

Larger radii allow collection from a larger area.


Step 5 - Configure Filters (Optional)

Open:

Filters

Configure which items should be accepted or rejected.

Filters allow ItemMagnets to specialize in collecting specific resources.


Step 6 - Test Collection

Drop an item inside the configured radius.

The ItemMagnet should:

  1. Detect the item
  2. Attract the item
  3. Deliver the item to the assigned container

Ownership

The player who creates the ItemMagnet becomes its owner.

Only the owner (or authorized administrators) may:

  • Modify settings
  • Change filters
  • Reassign containers
  • Remove the machine

Troubleshooting

If items are not being collected:

  • Verify a container is assigned
  • Verify the container has available space
  • Verify filters allow the item
  • Verify the item is within range
