Anthill Inside Mod (1.20.6, 1.20.1) is a Minecraft mod adding Red Ants, which provides a little bit of “natural automation” for vanilla dominated or non-tech packs. Additions of blocks, items, and recipes are reduced to a minimum, the Look & Feel is designed vanilla-like.

Features:

  • Red Ant Hive: Breeding and processing block.
  • Red Ants: Workers in Hives, or placed as Ant Trail for item transport.
  • Red Sugar: Hive colony growth and work accelerator.

  • It is suitable to get a “wee bit” of automation in vanilla dominated packs (or “natural” packs without any industrial tech mod), but also to introduce newcomers into a small facet of what contemporary tech mods offer.
  • Red Ant Hives look Cobblestone-like and can be found when mining Redstone Ore. These colonies allow you to automate some simple tasks, such as 3×3 crafting, cooking and smelting, composting, or item transfer (collection, Minecart loading/unloading). What and how shall be processed can be defined by placing corresponding items into special slots in the GUI:

  • There is no “Manual” for the mod, however, the GUI provides extensive explanations with tool tips when hovering slots and images, as well as a help tool tip when hovering the items with the Control+Shift keys down.

A brief excerpt of the Hive here:

  • The three top-middle slots is where the ant colony resides and grows. The more ants, the faster things progress.
  • The complete left slot side is for “input”. This is where inserted items, or also collected items, go into. The top-left Hopper slot allows to collect items from the adjacent inventories (also Minecarts etc) or items in front of the nest input hole.
  • The complete right side is the output side, from which items can be manually taken, or automatically exported by putting a Hopper, Dropper, or Dispenser into the bottom-right Hopper slot: Placing a Hopper there inserts into adjacent inventories or Minecarts. Putting a Dropper into this slot “gently” drops the items in front of the output hole of the hive, and a Dispenser throws them out (with bad aim).
  • The slot in the center defines which work the ants shall do. Place a Crafting Table in it for 3×3 crafting, a Furnace/Blast Furnace/Smoker for smelting, a Composter for … composting, or a Hopper for just passing items from left to right. Note for Furni: The 3×3 slots can be used to tell which fuels are allowed.
  • With a Redstone signal the hive can be instructed not to eject items from the output slots.
  • The Red Ant Trail is simply a water stream like item transport system, except that item insertion into inventories is supported, upward trails are possible, and items can be stopped or diverted to adjacent Ant Trails with a Redstone signal.
  • Finally, Red Sugar is a mix of Redstone dust and Sugar. Putting it into ant nets makes them work and breed faster, but only for a short time.
