Advanced Electromagnet
The Advanced Electromagnet pulls dropped items and experience orbs from 9 blocks away in any inventory slot, at 2 EU (mod energy) per item and 4 EU per orb.
Description
The recipe upgrades the ordinary Electromagnet directly: the first-tier magnet sits at the centre of the 3×3 grid in any state — charged, empty, on or off — framed by four Reinforced Electrum Plates in the corners, two Advanced Circuits on the sides, a Copper Coil on top and an Energy Crystal at the bottom. A shift-right-click toggles the Advanced Electromagnet, and the state is remembered in the magnet itself; switched off, the Advanced Electromagnet spends nothing and pulls nothing. Advanced Circuits and the Energy Crystal make the upgrade a late-game build, worth assembling once the base already supplies steady power. Ala Industrial runs on Minecraft 26.2 Java Edition only, on both the Fabric and NeoForge loaders.

Guide
How to craft and use the Advanced Electromagnet
-
1
Craft the first-tier Electromagnet
Build the ordinary Electromagnet on a 3×3 crafting grid from four iron ingots, one Copper Coil, one Electronic Circuit, one redstone dust and one lapis lazuli.
-
2
Gather the upgrade parts
Collect four Reinforced Electrum Plates, two Advanced Circuits, one more Copper Coil and one Energy Crystal for the second tier.
-
3
Lay out the 3×3 upgrade
Place the Electromagnet in the centre, Reinforced Electrum Plates in the four corners, Advanced Circuits on the left and right, the Copper Coil on top and the Energy Crystal at the bottom. The centre slot accepts the first-tier magnet in any state.
-
4
Charge the 20,000 EU buffer
Put the assembled Advanced Electromagnet into a charging slot; at 128 EU per tick the 20,000 EU buffer fills in about eight seconds.
-
5
Switch on and carry
Toggle the Advanced Electromagnet with a shift-right-click and leave the magnet in any inventory slot: dropped items arrive from up to 9 blocks, experience orbs from beyond the game's own 8-block reach.
A switched-off Advanced Electromagnet drains no EU at all: turn the magnet off around automatic farms and sorting machines so their drops stay where the system expects them.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Advanced Electromagnet do better than the ordinary Electromagnet?
The Advanced Electromagnet reaches 9 blocks instead of 5, stores 20,000 EU instead of 5,000, charges at 128 EU/t instead of 32, and collects experience orbs at 4 EU each — the first tier ignores experience entirely.
Does the magnet waste EU on experience the game collects anyway?
No. Experience orbs within 8 blocks of the player are picked up by the game itself, so the Advanced Electromagnet leaves them alone and charges nothing.
Do I need a fresh Electromagnet for the upgrade recipe?
No. The centre slot of the upgrade accepts the ordinary Electromagnet in any state — charged, empty, switched on or switched off.
Is the Advanced Electromagnet available outside Java Edition?
No. Ala Industrial is a Java Edition mod for Minecraft 26.2 and runs on both the Fabric and NeoForge loaders.
How much pickup does one full charge cover?
The 20,000 EU buffer covers about 10,000 pulled items at 2 EU each, or 5,000 experience orbs at 4 EU each; a normal session mixes both.
