Harvests a specified block within a specified range. It can harvest solid blocks like wood and stone. This is particularly useful for things like tree farms or stone generators.

This IC can only remove blocks, not place blocks like MCX207 and MCX208 which were often used to harvest blocks in farms prior to MCX213 being added in the 1.12 update. To ensure compatibility with craftbook farms this Harvester IC removes the blocks when unpowered (like MCX207 and MCX208 would).


Requirements

  • A chest to store the harvested blocks. The chest must be within 4 blocks of the sign and must have enough free space to harvest all blocks.
  • A redstone input. The redstone input must be next to the sign, so that the sign may be powered.

The IC will not operate until all the blocks within its specified range are removed. This is to prevent griefing.

  • Line 1: Harvester
  • Line 2: [MCX213]
  • Line 3: block ID:type
    • For example, oak log would be 17, while birch log would be 17:2
  • Line 4: Width:Length:Height[/Y Offset]
Max size is 11:30:30; the Y Offset can be any value.
-So, if you wanted to make a harvester to harvest a 2x2x1 region of wood, it would look like this:

-And if you wanted to harvest a 1x1x1 region of wood, but elevated by 2 blocks, it would look like this:

Note that the region will start at the block behind the IC block. The IC block is gray wool in the pictures above.

After placing the sign, be sure the blocks specified are not already placed in the region. Then, switch the redstone input on and off. This is to activate the IC. Now you can place the blocks you want harvested within the region, and the next time the IC is activated the blocks will be harvested into the nearby chest!
