If you have a mixture of two substances, it can be very hard to separate them without Distillation. Distillation is a process in which the mixture put in a pot and then heated until it reaches the boiling point of one of the substances.
That substance then evaporates, leaving the other, pure, one in the pot. The substance that evaporated then goes into a long tube where it cools, and comes out as liquid into a collection bowl.
Tier I
To make a distillery, first make a distillery spout from any tool metal, brass, or cast iron.
Then, combine the distillery spout with a pot and bowl to make the full distillery.
Then, you can place the distillery on a firepit, the same as you would do with a Pot or Grill.
Multiblock
Once inside, you will be greeted with this GUI. The bottom slot represents the item in the pot, the top one represents the item in the bowl.
To distill something, put it in the pot. Items go in the bottom slot, and fluids can be inserted by right-clicking the block, as with a pot. After the recipe is completed, you can right-click to extract the result fluid.
