Open Crate

The Open Crate is a vital block featured in Botania. When an item is inserted via a Hopper the Open Crate shall instantly drop the item right below it. A redstone signal has no effect on whether an item is outputted or not.

If a redstone signal is supplied to the Open Crate, any items dropped below it are prevented from being consumed by the Hopperhock, Rannuncarpus or Pollidisiac for around 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 shall not be outputted until the block beneath the Open Crate is removed.

The Open Crate also has counterpart, the Crafty Crate.
