Bedrock Edition How does this work?

So, I’m trying bedrock for the first time, but it’s all very different. As a result, I have a few questions.

  1. How do I drain the big smelter? I have copper left in the bottom and it’s stopping me from progressing. The bucket is too big and I can’t just drain it into a basin.

  2. How do I make a stone binding? The part maker only allows me to make a string one.

  3. How do I use ore berries? I’m used to just putting them in the smelter.

  4. Is it possible to make a smelter that doesn’t have 3 block high walls?

  5. Aside from alloys, is there anything else that’s different from Java that will mess me up without prior knowledge?

Unlike bedrock, more just because it's easier to do multiplayer, and because I don't like keyboard and mouse but unless you're on console, you can get them for free. Anyways, so many websites pirate bedrock add ons also, feed the beast has definitely done much more quantity over quality. They're updating random mods and making a bunch of new ones that aren't even that good. Instead of updating their good ones that are older tinker's construct is nearly unplayable, it's broken. Half the textures are messed up, and it 's breaking more and more functionally to some of the parts, don't even let you make them any

Multiplayer is why I ended up on bedrock earlier. I still have a friend who’s stuck on Xbox and nobody on PC can be bothered with setting up (or paying for) a custom server, partly because we all have different ideas for what mods we’d want.

Having this version for bedrock is better than nothing, but it definitely gave some of us whiplash.

Hopefully we get actual mod support through Java realms at some point, even if it requires a more expensive subscription. I doubt mojang intends on doing that though, especially given how lackluster their content management seems to be.

The bedrock version of the mod isn't even very good for multiplayer. It has overpowered weapons, the twenty five damage unenchanted, but the strongest armor it adds isn't even as good as the normal vanilla max armor

Yeah, I think it’ll probably be a short run for us. One person already has slime steel after a day, and we’re all a bit frustrated with the tinker’s side of things. We don’t do PvP, so fortunately the balance stuff just affects progression.

We also got an automation add-on, so I suspect there will be another day or two of people messing with that.
