Sieve

The Sieve is a device added by Ex Nihilo. It allows the obtaining of ores and other materials.

Holding a block of sievable material and right-clicking the Sieve will place the block in the Sieve. Right-clicking the Sieve 14 more times will process the block. With each click, less of the block will render in the Sieve. On the 14th click, the sieved block will vanish, and one or more items may pop out from the top of the Sieve.

The Sievable Materials table below lists the materials which can be used in a Sieve, their possible products, their probabilities of being dropped, and enabling mods (if none of the mods are loaded then the item will not drop). Each probability is independent of the others (one item being dropped won't affect the probability of other items being dropped). The Sieve can be automated by devices that simulate player right-clicks, such as the Autonomous Activator, and on multiplayer servers multiple people can work on a sieve together to accelerate it. However, each Sieve can only accept 6 right-clicks per second; more than that will be ignored.
