Tinker's Construct Emerald Production

Hey guys,

 

I recently tried to utilize the possibility of "smelting" villagers in a Tinker's Construct Smeltery to produce Emeralds. So far i was able to get good amounts of "Molten Emerald"/"Liquified Emerald" (name in Smeltery/Portable Tank), but i cant get the liquid into Gem or Block form!

I tried pouring it (with Seared Faucets) into Casting Basins and Casting Tables with Ingot Casts but none of it works. ;(

I am wondering if this feature is even implemented in the FTB Unleashed 1.1.7 version, or whether its just undeclared WIP/NYI, as there are some naming quirks (with "Blood" too), and there is nothing like a "Gem Cast" which I've seen elsewhere.

 

Has somebody any experience with this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Gem Cast only exists as of Minecraft 1.6 (probably), so you won't be able to convert the liquid emerald back to anything. As far as I know it's also totally useless in 1.5, even in current versions I think it's only required for Pig Iron (which also didn't exist in 1.5). Perhaps NEI can find some use ;)
And yup, there is some bug that most non-TiC fluids are called "Blood" - not just in NEI or the smeltery, for some reason it's the case everywhere, as far as I can tell.

Ah, what a shame. Thanks for the quick answer though! Guess I'll have to spend some time with my bees again then to get a decent emerald production. Especially after i dumped my 200+ emeralds worth of mystcraft pages into a single descriptive book while trying to figure out the GUI. XD

Btw I can't use the emerald ore recipe using UU-Matter (Item), too. I added that issue to the http://ftbwiki.org/T...U-Matter_(Item); perhaps somebody could double check.

 

So, no Gems for me in Minecraft? Guess i have to play GemCraft then instead. ;)

sorry for the late response just saw this. You can use a casting basin to get blocks of emeralds and then craft them into emeralds if necessary.

 

Edit: I should read first :X guess that was a 1.6 addition.
