[0.5.6beta] Simple Magic Source Brush Device

The magic source production of this device is about 5000/s, which is one can of magic source every two seconds.

Requires for this device: 9*Any Supreme Wood Saplings, 8*Farming Arcane Essence Conduits, 8*Arcane Essence Repeaters (Storaged), 1*Enchanted Spell Turret, 2*Detectors, 1*Sticky Piston, 1*Lever, Growth Rune and Range Rune unlocked.

Spell turrets can be used instead of enchanted spell turrets, but mana generation will be reduced to 4000/s

Timed spell turrets can be used instead of enchanted spell turrets, detectors, and sticky pistons, but mana generation will be reduced to 1000/s

First, dig a hole in the ground and temporarily erect three blocks.

Place the detector and spell turret in the pit in order, so that the detector's signal surface faces downwards and the spell turret faces downwards

Edit spell in spellbook, for touch->grow->area->area->grow->area->area->grow->area->area, save and right-click spell turret with spellbook to apply to spell turret

Afterwards, remove the temporarily placed blocks, fill back the soil, and plant 9 saplings.

Place 8 Agricultural Mana Channels on the sapling, and place a Mana Channel Relay (Storage) on the Agricultural Mana Channel. Hold the Staff of Control, right-click the Agricultural Mana Channel first, and then right-click the Mana Channel Relay (Storage) to make the Mana Channel Relay draw mana from the Agricultural Mana Channel.

This is done because the magic source channel has a limited magic source capacity, and there is a 10-second interval between their magic source outputs. Using a magic source relay to extract can reduce this interval to 1 second, thereby increasing the magic source channel's efficiency by ten times.

Storage type mana relays can automatically store mana in nearby mana tanks, eliminating the need for manual binding.

Then, place a sticky piston, another observer, and a lever on top like this.

The pulse period of a manually placed face-to-face detector is 6 game ticks, while pistons can reduce the period to 4 game ticks, increasing the output speed.

Remove the auxiliary construction blocks, place a magic source tank with a little magic source nearby for startup, and a magic source tank to receive the produced magic source. Pull the lever to start magic source production.

Revised on 2026/9/12:

As shown in the figure, a 2-tick clock can be made with relatively low cost (5 Redstone dust, 1 NOT gate).

However, tests found that the 4-tick cycle clock and the 2-tick cycle clock have the same trigger interval for spell turrets.
