What you’ll build
Build a brick factory with tall windows and a smoking chimney, then dig a flowing-water conveyor that carries items into a hopper and chest. Race yourself: carry a full stack by hand, then let the belt do it. Which is faster?
Finish line: Your factory's water belt carries items into a chest, and you've timed it against carrying by hand.
Bonus challenge: Add a second belt from another workstation that joins the first. Does the hopper keep up, or do items pile up? Fix the traffic jam.
You’ll need
- Bricks
- Water buckets
- A hopper
- A chest
- A stack of items
- A timer
You choose
- My factory's name
- What it makes
- My bet: the belt is ___ times faster than me
Stuck?
- Items stopping on the belt? Water flows about 7 blocks on the flat, so step the channel down 1 block and carry on.
- Items not going into the chest? Place the hopper by tapping the chest so its spout points into it.
- Items getting stuck in corners? Keep the channel 1 block wide with walls on both sides.
