  btw...you can connect a tree with another tree and all of them will break together(as long as they are connected by 1 log

  I'm not sure if people just don't know this, but you can use the clipboard in the schematic canon for a list as well. This will allow for manually checking off all the items you have and it also shows an image of the item you're looking for

  One huge life hack I, as a cave sweller, love is that you can excavate huge caves using schematic cannon by copying air.  Best part is that it works with watery caves, which is great, because removing water is a pain

  casings on large cogs remove one shaft side... this changes everything<br><br>that&apos;s a really clever use for item vaults

  For massive trees in modded worlds like biomes o plenty, you can easily cut them down with the saw if you dig out the dirt under the tree and place a log under the tree. It will cut the whole tree as long as the saw cuts the lowest piece of log, even if you placed it there yourself

  If you hold left control while making a schematic you can make a node in the air without using any blocks, works well with larger more spread out builds.

  Not a create tip, but if you also have the &quot;Time in a Bottle&quot; mod, you can insta-build schematics using the schematicannon and using the time bottle on the cannon. This is esp nice for particularly large schematics.

  - When building moving contraptions or trains, you don&apos;t have to glue things like torches, signs, redstone, harvesters, etc. If the block they&apos;re attached to becomes a contraption, they&apos;ll come along for the ride.<br><br>- When building farms, you don&apos;t have to attach the harvesters to a block. You can remove the block you placed them on and just glue the harvesters to your chassis. I love doing this because it only breaks half as many crops if I ever have to turn it back into blocks.<br><br>- If your glue is saying &quot;Glued blocks must be connected,&quot; just replace them with solid blocks, glue them, and then put them back the way they were. The glue doesn&apos;t care if the blocks are attached once it&apos;s been placed.<br><br>- If a water wheel or large cog won&apos;t let you place it because another wheel or cog is too close, you can force them together with a mechanical piston or schematicannon. This is great for making compact water wheel arrays and machines.<br><br>- You can use drains as a powerless replacement for a belt, as long as you don&apos;t need any presses, deployers, or fans to process the items going across them.<br><br>- Foxy No Tail figured this one out. You&apos;ll like this. Belts kill your framerate in large quantities, so replace them with chain drives wherever possible.<br><br>- And a train-specific one: You can make locomotives with more than 2 bogeys if you only glue the middle 2 bogeys to the main body. Just let the front and back bogeys float around.

  Cool tip if your into building armour stand stuff:<br>Because schematics copy NBT data you can pose an armour stand in a creative world and paste it in a survival/server world with the pose.

  Ik im late to the party but, one more life hack: Whenever we want to move items from 1 machine to another, we need to place 2 shafts with a belt normally, but if you use an item drain, it will roll across the block, allowing for 1 block sized transport. This allows builds to be more compact!

  Please make more of those kinds of videos. There are never too many good concise Create tutorials!

  You can also feed schematics to deployers, and they&apos;ll put just that block if they&apos;re within reach of the space where that block needs to go. Since they don&apos;t get used up, it&apos;s pretty handy for making train tunnels. It <i>does</i> mean you&apos;d need quite a lot of them for larger builds, but it lets you do things like stagger your lights and use more than one kind of block in a line.
