Open Crate

The Open Crate is a block added by Botania. When an item is inserted via a Hopper the Open Crate will instantly drop the item right below it. A redstone signal has no effect on whether an item is dropped or not.

If a redstone signal is supplied to the Open Crate, any items dropped below it will not be consumed by the Hopperhock, Rannuncarpus or Pollidisiac for roughly 10 seconds more than usual.

Open Crates cannot be stacked as a block on top of one another. If one is in the way of the output side, the item will not be dropped until the block beneath the Open Crate is removed.

The Open Crate also has a counterpart, the Crafty Crate.
