# Work Orders

**Put your copper golems to work.** Couriers, stokers, restockers, janitors, sorters, and farmhands — assigned the way it should be: you hand a golem a job and point it at a chest. No commands to memorize, no menus to fight.

Copper golems already tidy items into copper chests in vanilla. **Work Orders** gives them real jobs and lets them move items *anywhere* you tell them — while keeping the cozy, hands-on feel of the base game.

## Features

* **Six jobs**, each assigned by a craftable **Work Order** item — no commands required.
* **Tap-to-route:** tap a container to set the pickup, tap another to set the drop-off. That's the whole setup.
* **Vanilla at heart:** golems walk, carry one stack at a time, and visibly wear the tool of their trade. They look like they belong.
* **Safe with your stuff:** every transfer is a real move — items are **never duplicated and never voided**. Destination full? The golem just holds the cargo.
* **Performance-friendly:** golems only work when a player is nearby; otherwise they hibernate. No offline item flow, no wasted CPU.
* **Yours to command:** only the golem's owner (or trusted friends) can re-task it.

## Compatibility

* **Minecraft 26.1.x** · Purpur / Paper / Spigot / Bukkit
* **Server-side only** — no client mod required.
* Requires Copper Golems (Minecraft's Copper Age update or later).
* Optional integrations: PlaceholderAPI, Vault.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://machina-1.gitbook.io/machina-docs/workorders/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
