Build a crafter bakery: wheat in, bread out. Then race a hay bale bot.

The crafter is the Lab's newest robot: it crafts by itself. Teach it to bake, then make it race a rival.

What you’ll build

Meet the crafter, a block that crafts all by itself. Switch off its slots so it only makes bread, feed it wheat through a hopper and bake at the press of a button. Then build a rival Hay Bot and race the two to see who uses the wheat best.

Finish line: Your bread bot and hay bot both craft from hoppers of wheat, and you've counted the race result.

Bonus challenge: Inventor's challenge: make a bot that crafts by itself with no button. Hint: a comparator can tell when the crafter is ready.

You’ll need

  • Crafters
  • Hoppers and chests
  • Buttons
  • Lots of wheat

You choose

  • My bakery's name
  • Bread Bot's and Hay Bot's names
  • My bet: which bot uses wheat faster

Stuck?

  • Crafter makes nothing? Check the open slots match the recipe: one row of 3 for bread.
  • Tap an empty crafter slot to switch it off; tap again to switch it back on.
  • Each button press crafts one item, so the crafter needs a fresh pulse every time.
