Leaves gained via Flux-infused Sickle <Silk touch V> {ID: 20663} [Invar sickle No silk touch no leaves] are 817:8 However leaves gained via shears{ID: 359}, and Invar shears{ID: 20274} are 817 The Ex Nihilo sieve will not accept 817:8 but does accept 817. Could the leaves 817:8 be added to the sieve list for saplings? And is the Witchwood quest supposed to be 1000 Witchwood logs, 1000 witchwood planks, 1000 witchwood leaves, and 100 witch wood saplings?
we used 2 activators. place them with one. shear them with a normal shears with the other. they will have the right id after. easy way to automate it.
I was considering creating an ic2 trade station at the agrarian+ spawn that would trade the leaves with meta for leaves without, but your way is far more creative so now I won't bother
