✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and focused: does exactly what it says, no bloat.
- Decent community traction with 166 endorsements and 7.8k downloads.
- Recently updated, so likely compatible with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- Limited to a single function—if you don't need tar collection, this mod is useless.
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you're flying blind on how it looks or works.
For survival builders who hate manually scooping tar and want a hands-off solution. Skip if you're not into automation or if you play on maps without tarpits.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you build the collector within range of a tarpit—check the placement preview for a valid spot.
- If you're on a dedicated server, ensure the mod is installed on both client and server to avoid desync.
- Test the collector in a single-player world first to see how fast it gathers tar before relying on it in multiplayer.
