Hand Crank
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.
