In this episode, Swag walks you through setting up the mixer and four encased fans using the Create mod. He demonstrates how to use one encased fan to make charcoal and another to craft a piece of soul sand, which he borrowed from his lava setup two episodes ago, for the soul campfire. Swag then shows how easy it is to make soul sand, explains how it can be turned into quartz, and places it back in the lava setup. He also shows how you can smelt ores and cook food without fuel. In the end, Swag explains how the mixer can halve the cost of andesite alloy from 2 andesite and 2 iron nuggets per alloy to just 1 andesite and 1 iron nugget. These game-changing tips will definitely enhance your game play!
