The [[Hand Crank]] is a primitive manual [[mechanical power]] generation device. Its use is necessary to produce the very first mechanical components needed for continuous mechanical power generation.

The '''Hand Crank''' is a primitive manual [[Mechanical Power]] generation device. It is primarily used in the initial operation of the [[Mill Stone]] to grind [[Hemp]], for the eventual creation of a [[Wind Mill]] and [[Axle]]s, but can also provide temporary non-continuous power to many other devices.
  
A Hand Crank must be placed to the side of or on top of of any mechanically-powered device that does not require continuous mechanical power. To use it, it must be right clicked, with each click producing only a small amount of power. This is very time- and food-intensive. For this reason the Hand Crank should not be used more than absolutely necessary - that is to get a [[Wind Mill]] up and running by grinding [[Hemp]] on the [[Mill Stone]] to produce 24 units of [[Fabric]].

The Hand Crank is a primitive manual Mechanical Power generation device. It is primarily used in the initial operation of the Mill Stone to grind Hemp, for the eventual creation of a Wind Mill and Axles, but can also provide temporary non-continuous power to many other devices.

Uses

To use it, place it directly next one device only, then operate it with right click, with each click producing only a small duration of power and causing a significant drain in hunger due to exhaustion. When the lever returns to its original position, it can be clicked again. It is advised that the Hand Crank should not be used more than necessary due to its costly drain on food resources.

The Hand Crank can power the Mill Stone, Bellows and Hopper. It can also cause the Cauldron, Crucible and Vessel of the Dragon to tip over, releasing their contents.

Keep in Mind

  • Attempting to simultaneously power more than one mechanical device with the Hand Crank will cause it to break.
  • Each pull of the Hand Crank is equivalent to the hunger drain of jumping ten times.
  • A constructed Wind Mill is a recommended goal to replace to the Hand Crank as it does not drain hunger and can power more items that the Hand Crank cannot, such as the Saw or the Turntable.
  • Attaching a Buddy Block will cause a Redstone pulse whenever the Hand Crank is pulled, allowing it to function as an over-dramatic lever.
