gollark: What whole thing, the bunker or redstone generator?
gollark: It's already energy-shielded and reasonably blast-proof, but teleportation is a thing, so I'm thinking about putting some internal defenses.
gollark: I'm currently working on (in creative mode) this bunker thing, which will eventually (I hope) be able to produce all its components from scratch.
gollark: There's a mod for it.
gollark: Yes you can.
