The Basin is a simple automation tool that is used to gather the Sap from Rubber Trees. In order to use the Basin, you must place it directly onto a Rubber Tree. It will then begin harvesting any sap directly above, on, or below the log it's currently attached to.
It has an internal buffer of one harvest1) before becoming full. The sap can be withdrawn by placing a storage container underneath(chest, storage unit, etc) the Basin. It has a 40% chance to yield two sap instead of one.
The basin does not require an energy source.
An approximate yield of sap using a Basin is 1.<html> <overline style=“text-decoration:overline”>5</overline></html> sap/hour/tree (using one Basin on each of the four sides of the tree).
This test was performed by attaching a Basin to each side of 9 rubber trees and placing chests beneath each Basin. The player then went AFK for approximately 60 minutes, after which they gathered the sap from all the chests. The total amount of sap gathered was 56.
This experiment was only run once with a small sample size to give a rough estimate - your results may vary.
This test was run on Minecraft 1.16.5 | Techreborn v3.8.4 Build 236.
