Vector Plates

Vector Plates automatically move entities across their surface, making them useful for mob farms, transportation systems, automation setups, and custom machinery.

Available speed variants:

• Medium
• Fast
• Very Fast

Effect Plates

Effect Plates affect mobs and players when they come into contact with them.

Effects can include:

• Regeneration
• Speed
• Poison
• Other supported effects

Filter Blocks

Filter Blocks control which filtered types can pass through them.

Right-click a Filter Block with the Configuration Wrench to reverse its behavior.

Floating Block

The Floating Block can be placed anywhere, providing additional freedom for building utility and automation systems.

Backpacks

Core Utilities adds three backpack tiers:

Tier	Storage
Backpack I	27 slots
Backpack II	54 slots
Backpack III	100 slots

Mob Net

The Mob Net lets players catch mobs and release them elsewhere, making entity relocation easier for farms, bases, and automation.

Configuration Wrench

The Configuration Wrench is used to configure supported machines and utility blocks, including reversing Filter Blocks.

Energy

Solar Panel

The Solar Panel generates FE based on daylight, providing a renewable energy source for compatible systems.

Cables

Core Utilities cables transfer:

64 FE/tick

They provide a straightforward way to connect energy generation and compatible machines.

• Vector Plates for entity movement
• Filter Blocks for routing
• Effect Plates for automatic effects
• Mob Nets for entity relocation
