Casting Basin Recipe

Casting Basin Recipe

Type: hephaestus:casting_basin
Machine: Casting Basin

Pours a fluid from a faucet directly into the casting basin to produce a block or item. Unlike the Casting Table, the basin does not use a cast it works by itself.

Fields

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
fluid.id	string	true	—	Fluid poured from faucet (namespace:path)
fluid.amount	integer	true	—	Amount consumed in mB
result.id	string	true	—	Item or block produced
result.count	integer	false	1	Number of items produced
cooling_time	integer	true	—	Ticks to solidify

How it Works

1. Faucet pours fluid into the basin
2. When the basin has enough fluid for the recipe → solidification begins
3. After cooling time ticks → result item appears on top of basin
4. Player collects the result

Differences from Casting Table

	Casting Table	Casting Basin
Cast required	Optional	No
Typical output	Ingots, nuggets, gems	Blocks
Typical amount	10–180 mB	810 mB (1 block)
Cast consumed	Configurable	N/A

---

Notes

• The basin does not accept casts — use the Casting Table for cast-based recipes
• 810 mB = 1 block equivalent (9 ingots × 90 mB)
• Multiple basin recipes can exist for different fluids
• cooling_time is in ticks (20 = 1 second)
