This material can mimic the appearance of any other block, but cannot perform the same functions (Does not give off light, no redstone signals, etc).

A construction paste container exists that can hold a large amount of construction paste via it's multiple storage tiers.

All tools will attempt to build using the 'real' material first, and use construction paste if the real blocks are unavailable in your inventory. This excludes the Destruction Gadget obviously.

As of 1.14+ things have changed a little bit. The way you process the paste is still the same but we no longer have that must native support for other mods. We now assume that mod pack authors will implement data packs to support different ways of crafting Construction paste.

Construction paste has 3 phases. Two are able to be collected and the other is a visual state. The two important ones are Construction Paste Powder and Dense Construction Paste. Starting with the Powder, this block is very much like sand and when placed next to water will slowly transform into Dense Construction Paste. You can then mine this to get Construction Paste.

A construction block is what the gadgets will create when pretending to be blocks that you don't have the resources for. When broken they will drop a single Construction Paste.

Be sure to not over use Construction Paste as the Construction Block that is placed in the world is a Tile Entity / Block Entity and although it is not a Ticking entity, it does still add up over time and in complexity. It's kinda like placing a lot of chests. It'll be alright all the way up until it isn't.

The process of generating construction paste is as follows:

1. Craft a construction powder block.
2. Convert the powder into a dense construction block by either placing it in the word next to water, or using one of the following machines:
   • Fluid Transposer [Thermal Expansion]
   • Hydrator [Cyclic]
   • Moistener [Forestry]
3. Get paste from the block by either:
   • Breaking it, yielding 1-3 paste.
   • Using machines :
     1. Convert it into dense construction chunks (1 block -> 4 chunks):
        • Pulverizer [Thermal Expansion]
        • Macerator [Industrial Craft 2]
        • Grinder [Applied Energistics 2]
        • Crusher [Mekanism]
        • Crusher [Immersive Engineering]
        • Crusher [Actually Additions]
     2. Convert the chunks into paste using any of the machines listed in step 3 (1 chunk -> 1 paste).
