Work Orders

Put your copper golems to work. Couriers, stokers, restockers, janitors, sorters, and farmhands — assigned the way it should be: you hand a golem a job and point it at a chest. No commands to memorize, no menus to fight.

Copper golems already tidy items into copper chests in vanilla. Work Orders gives them real jobs and lets them move items anywhere you tell them — while keeping the cozy, hands-on feel of the base game.

Features

• Six jobs, each assigned by a craftable Work Order item — no commands required.
• Tap-to-route: tap a container to set the pickup, tap another to set the drop-off. That's the whole setup.
• Vanilla at heart: golems walk, carry one stack at a time, and visibly wear the tool of their trade. They look like they belong.
• Safe with your stuff: every transfer is a real move — items are never duplicated and never voided. Destination full? The golem just holds the cargo.
• Performance-friendly: golems only work when a player is nearby; otherwise they hibernate. No offline item flow, no wasted CPU.
• Yours to command: only the golem's owner (or trusted friends) can re-task it.

How it works

1. Craft the Work Order for the job you want (recipes below).
2. Right-click a copper golem while holding it — the golem takes the job and picks up its tool.
3. Tap a container to set the pickup, then tap another for the drop-off. It gets to work.

The jobs

| Job | Tool | What it does |
|---|:---:|---|
| Courier | | Hauls items from one container to another. |
| Stoker | | Feeds furnaces — fuel to the fuel slot, ore to the input. |
| Restocker | | Keeps a container topped up to a set amount. |
| Janitor | | Vacuums up dropped items nearby and banks them. |
| Sorter | | Splits items across containers by what each already holds. |
| Farmhand | | Harvests and replants crops in a small radius. |

Recipes

Every Work Order uses the same frame — copper ingots around a sheet of paper — with the job's tool in the bottom-center slot. Craft the one you want, then hand it to a golem.

Example — Courier:

| | | |
|:-:|:-:|:-:|
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |

→ Work Order: Courier

For the other five jobs, keep the copper-and-paper frame and just swap the bottom-center tool:

| Job | Bottom-center tool |
|---|---|
| Courier | Hopper |
| Stoker | Furnace |
| Restocker | Barrel |
| Janitor | Brush |
| Sorter | Comparator |
| Farmhand | Iron Hoe |

Recipes are fully configurable — server owners can change the shape, ingredients, and cost in config.yml.
