Automation
Set up caravans, a Smeltery, Ender Hoppers, and copper golem jobs to move or process what you gather.
A dropped item on a farm floor can feed into an Ender Hopper. A llama caravan can haul cargo along a route, while a copper golem handles a job you assign nearby. These systems work with items and animals you already have, so build the one that solves the task at your base.
Collect and move items
- Ender Hoppers pull nearby drops into a hopper or hopper minecart. Give the hopper an output chest and keep the area loaded.
- Caravans form pack llamas into a moving line and send cargo to recorded depot chests. A sentry holds a point along the route while the train moves on.
- Work Orders assign copper golems jobs such as hauling, sorting, furnace work, and crop care. Their routes depend on the task you give them.
- Linked chests join storage points into one shared inventory.
Process what you gather
The Smeltery uses a crafted core inside an iron-block shell. It doubles the output of selected furnace recipes, including raw iron and sand, while using ordinary fuel and cooking time. For a smaller food-only build, try the cooking pot over fire.
None of these builds earns coins while you are away. The economy pays for eligible player actions; a hopper, golem, or llama handles the goods afterward.

Caravans (Llama Trains)
Caravans turn pack llamas into a train that follows you and runs cargo home to your depot chests. Two crafted tools also let you post guards along the route.
