When on a [[moving contraption|Moving Contraptions]], the plough can be used to till dirt and its variants, to move entities, and to break any block that does not have collisions with players and other entities. ## Tilling When a Mechanical Plough on a contraption comes into contact with dirt, grass blocks, grass paths, and coarse dirt from above or the side, it will convert the blocks as if a vanilla hoe has been used on them. This will convert dirt, grass blocks, and grass paths into farmland, and it will convert coarse dirt into dirt. The conversion happens in-world, and the Plough cannot convert blocks in item form. This functionality, along with [[mechanical crafting|Mechanical Crafter]] and infinite production of gravel, enables the auto-farming of dirt. +## Pushing entities + +Like the [[Mechanical Drill]] and the [[Mechanical Saw]], a Mechanical Plough on a contraption can push players, mobs, and other entities. However, unlike the Drill and the Saw, the Plough does no damage to entities it pushes. + ## Breaking blocks -Many blocks can be broken by a plough on a contraption. If the contraption has available inventory space, the items dropped from the broken block will be placed in the contraption inventory in the same way as what happens with blocks broken by a [[Mechanical Drill]] or a [[Mechanical Saw]]. \ No newline at end of file +A plough on a contraption can break any block that does not have collisions with players and other entities, such as torches, rails, and snow layers. If the contraption has available inventory space, the items dropped from broken blocks will be placed in the contraption inventory in the same way as what happens with blocks broken by a Drill or a Saw. This functionality is useful for minecart contraptions that place their own rails, as a Plough can easily harvest placed rails once the contraption passes over them, meaning that the contraption will never run out of rails to place. \ No newline at end of file
