Welcome to SkyFactory 4, a popular modpack for Minecraft that challenges players to build and expand their own sky island. One of the key tools in your arsenal is the sieve, a handy device that allows you to sift through dirt, sand, gravel, and other materials to extract valuable resources. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of making a sieve and using it effectively to maximize your resource gathering.
To make a sieve, you will need a few basic materials. The first thing you will need is a sturdy block to serve as the base of your sieve. Stone or wood planks are commonly used for this purpose. You will also need some mesh, which can be crafted from either string or silk. Finally, you will need some sticks to create the frame of the sieve.
Once you have gathered all the necessary materials, you can start crafting your sieve. Begin by placing the sturdy block in the center of your crafting table. Then, surround the block with sticks to create a frame. Finally, place the mesh on top of the frame to complete the sieve.
Now that you have your sieve, it’s time to put it to use. Go to your sky island and find a source of dirt, sand, or gravel. Right-click on the sieve to open its interface, and then place the material you want to sift in the top slot. Once you have placed the material, simply right-click on the sieve again to start the sifting process.
As the sieve sifts through the material, it will start producing different items and resources. The specific items you can obtain depend on the material you are sifting. For example, sifting dirt can yield stones, seeds, and other basic resources, while sifting sand can yield ores and gems. Keep sifting until you have obtained all the desired resources from the material.
With your new sieve, you will be able to gather resources more efficiently and quickly than ever before. Experiment with different materials and combinations to discover the best ways to obtain specific resources. Happy sieving!

Getting started
Before you can make a sieve in SkyFactory 4, you will need to gather a few materials and set up a basic infrastructure. Here are the steps to get started:
Step 1: Gather basic materials
Before you can make a sieve, you will need to gather the following basic materials:
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Wood Planks | 8 |
| Sticks | 2 |
| String | 3 |
Step 2: Craft a Sieve
Once you have gathered the required materials, you can craft a sieve by following these steps:
- Open your Crafting table.
- Arrange the materials in the crafting grid as shown below:
| Wood Planks | ||
| Wood Planks | Sticks | Wood Planks |
| String |
Make sure to place the materials in the exact pattern shown above.
- Once you have arranged the materials in the correct pattern, you will see the sieve appear in the result box.
- Drag the sieve from the result box into your inventory to complete the crafting process.
Congratulations! You have successfully crafted a sieve in SkyFactory 4. This sieve will be essential for obtaining valuable resources and progressing further in the game.
Gathering the materials
Before you can make a sieve in SkyFactory 4, you will need to gather a few basic materials. Fortunately, most of these materials can be easily obtained early on in the game.
Wood
The first material you will need is wood. Wood can be obtained by breaking trees with your bare hands or with any tool. Once you have enough wood, you can turn it into planks by placing it in a crafting table.
Sticks
To make a sieve, you will also need sticks. Sticks can be crafted by placing two wooden planks on top of each other in a crafting table. Alternatively, you can obtain sticks by breaking leaves, which have a chance to drop sticks as a bonus item.
String
String is another important material for making a sieve. It can be obtained by killing spiders or by breaking cobwebs. Cobwebs can be found in abandoned mineshafts or by using shears on the top blocks of a fully grown cotton plant.
Mesh
The last material you will need is a mesh. A mesh can be crafted by placing 4 strings in a square shape in a crafting table.
Once you have gathered all of these materials, you will be ready to craft your very own sieve in SkyFactory 4!
Crafting a Sieve
In SkyFactory 4, a sieve is an essential tool for gathering different materials. It allows players to sift through various blocks and obtain valuable resources.
To craft a sieve, you will need the following materials:
| Item | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Oak Planks | 5 |
| String | 2 |
| Sticks | 2 |
Once you have gathered the necessary materials, follow these steps to craft a sieve:
- Open your crafting table
- Place the oak planks in a 3×3 grid, leaving the center square empty
- Place the string in the top-left and top-right corners of the grid
- Place the sticks in the middle and bottom-left squares of the grid
- After arranging the materials correctly, move the sieve to your inventory
Now that you have crafted a sieve, you can use it to sift through different blocks and discover valuable items. Simply place the sieve on the ground and right-click on it to interact. Then, place the block you want to sift on top of the sieve and wait for the process to complete.
Remember to upgrade your sieve as you progress in SkyFactory 4 to increase its efficiency and access higher-tier resources. Happy sifting!
Using the sieve
The sieve is a useful tool in SkyFactory 4 that allows you to obtain resources from dirt, gravel, sand, and dust. To use the sieve effectively, follow these steps:
- Place the sieve on the ground by right-clicking.
- Right-click on the sieve to open its interface.
- Obtain the desired block, such as dirt, gravel, sand, or dust, and right-click on the sieve while holding the block in your hand.
- The block will be placed in the sieve, and you will see particles indicating that it is being sifted.
- After a few seconds, the sieve will produce various resources that can be collected.
- To collect the resources, right-click on the sieve again.
- The resources will appear in the sieve’s inventory, and you can simply click and drag them into your own inventory.
It is important to note that different blocks have different chances of producing specific resources. For example, dirt may produce stones and sticks, while gravel may produce ores and gems. Dust and sand also have their own unique resource drops.
Using the sieve efficiently is a key aspect of progressing in SkyFactory 4. Experiment with different blocks and discover new resources to help you thrive in your sky factory!
Sieve drop rates
Here is a table showcasing the possible drops and their chances when using the sieve:
| Block | Drops | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Dirt | Stone, Stick | 50%, 50% |
| Gravel | Ore, Gem | 25%, 75% |
| Sand | Crushed Netherrack, Crushed End Stone | 50%, 50% |
| Dust | Redstone, Glowstone Dust | 30%, 70% |
Keep in mind that these drop rates can vary slightly depending on your SkyFactory 4 version and any modpack changes that have been made. Happy sieving!
