Compact Machines Tutorial

Compact Machines is a Minecraft mod by Davenonymous that adds one simple game mechanic: Small rooms inside of blocks. It basically gives you the ability to build your contraptions inside of a single block. Each side of a Compact Machine has a small buffer for items, fluids and Redstone Flux allowing the room to interact with the outside.

It is to be noted that the compact machine rooms themselves are all stored in a separate dimension from the Overworld. The inside of the Compact Machine room is always chunk loaded, but players will have to chunk load the Overworld chunk the machine is in for it to be able to interact with the Overworld.

I'm pretty sure that the compact machines mod actually does not create a new dimension for each block, it actually creates a new area inside the same dimension, hence why when you go from one compact machine, into another as done in 15:21, you do not go through the dimension loading screen

What if your base was just a compact machine that had compact machines so your base was just 1 block

HOLY! This is legit one of the coolest mods I've ever seen, legit only intended to use this for compact gates but I'm gonna do a lot more.
Thanks for the tutorial man, you helped out a lot.

Here's a fun idea: Build your house in one of these! Then you can have a portable house, specially if you use inception.

Huge thanks to you for making this mod. This is perhaps one of the best explanation of mods I have seen in a very long time. Very informative, you've explained all the loopholes and such and got me excited!. Please make more mod tutorial, you just earnt yourself a sub.

First time I ever watched a MindCrafters tutorial Cap'n Jack...kudos to you! Your approach to UI display is the best I have ever seen in any tutorial, including non-gaming tutorials.

This... Is going to be perfect for draconic reactors and energy cores depending on just how big they can be inside.

To create the largest, which requires the 5x5 structure built, you don't need to have the projectors that far back. Have the 5x5 area where structure is built, then 3 blocks away (3 between 5x5 and projector) then 2 blocks high is where you set the projectors. The projectors only need to encompass the structure before it's minimized.

My hubby has been putting this inside modded servers for awhile and we have never had issues. It works great.

Man... Industrial craft used to my freaking favorite mod, it was the first time I started modded and got into automating things and it just felt so satisfying for some reason

Regarding the placement of the diamond blocks not being self-explanatory in the NEI/JEI interface, I discovered that if you hold shift while looking at the recipe, NEI will show you an x-ray view of the multiblock's internal structure... at least with Compact Machines v. 3.0.12 and JEI v. 4.13.1.220 in Minecraft v.1.12.2. Hope that helps!

redstone computers just evolved to a whole other level

i really like how the connected textures prevent me from counting how many blocks are between the spaces.

[pulseweld]

love the grey/ white color textures you using

[DanielStinebaugh]

Holy Crap! That's amazing! You guys need to put together a new modpack and include this for sure!

"Nobody likes IC2 anymore, but I like it".
I teared up at that ;-;

It's still one of my favourite mods and a big part of how i got into modded minecraft.
it's still a very well rounded, self contained mod to this day...

People don't like it because it doesn't integrate with other mods well... But that's part of the charm you know?

[ericksantos]

That mod is SO FUCKING COOL, you can make LITERALLY a base in a compact machine, with a compact machine inside that compact machine, THAT'S TOTALLY INSANE
