Sieve (Ex Nihilo)

The Sieve is a device added by Ex Nihilo that allows you to obtain ores and other materials.

Use
To use a Sieve, first hold a block of Sievable material and right-click the Sieve. This will place the block in the Sieve. To process the block, right-click the Sieve 14 more times. 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. A full list of Sievable materials and possible products is included below.

The Sieve can be automated by devices that simulate player right-clicks, such as the Thermal Expansion 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.

Additional materials can be obtained from the Sieve if other mods are installed. IndustrialCraft 2, Forestry, Applied Energistics 2, Thermal Expansion, Factorization, Mekanism, Tinkers' Construct, and MineFactory Reloaded all cause additional Sieve outputs to be added.

Additionally, the mods Ex Aliquo and Ex Astris add further Sieve outputs.
