Usage
Refining
A potato refinery has four slots: a fuel slot, two item slots, and an output slot. In the fuel slot, up to a stack of any fuel can be placed. The two item slots can hold up to a stack of any item.
Like furnaces, different types of fuel smelt a different number of items. If the refinery is not currently using a piece of fuel and is ready to refine, a new piece of fuel is used.
Oil extraction
If the refinery has fuel, nothing in the output slot, a potato in the first item slot, and at least one empty glass bottle in the second item slot, the refining process begins. After 100 game ticks (5 seconds), a potato and glass bottle are used, and a bottle of potato oil is produced. If a poisonous potato was used in the first item slot, a bottle of poisonous potato oil is created.
Lubrication
If the refinery has fuel, nothing in the output slot, a bottle of regular (non-poisonous) potato oil in the first item slot, and any item in the second item slot, the refinery is activated. After 125 game ticks (6.25 seconds), the bottle of potato oil and the item are used. The output is an item with a lubrication factor. The higher the lubrication factor, the more the item slides around when on the ground. An item can be lubricated multiple times, but with diminishing returns.
Piston interactivity
Potato refineries cannot be pushed or pulled by pistons.
Note blocks
Potato refineries can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Advancements
| Icon | Advancement | In-game description | Actual requirements (if different) |
|---|---|---|---|
  | Get oily | Refine a potato into Potato Oil | Extract potato oil from a potato with a potato refinery. Must take the oil from the refinery; obtaining it by other means (like using a hopper and taking it out of a chest) does not grant it. |
| Lubrication Bonanza | Lubricate an item ten times! | Lubricate an item x10 with a potato refinery. Must take the x10 lubricated item from the refinery; obtaining it by other means (like using a hopper and taking it out of a chest) does not grant it. |
| So slippery! | Lubricate an item with Potato Oil in the Potato Refinery | Lubricate an item with the potato refinery. Must take the lubricated item from the refinery; obtaining it by other means (like using a hopper and taking it out of a chest) does not grant it. |
 | These boots were made for… | …sliding. And that's just what they'll do! | Lubricate any type of boots with the potato refinery. Must take the boots from the refinery; obtaining it by other means (like using a hopper and taking it out of a chest) does not grant it. |
 | Whee! | Throw a lubricated item and watch it slide! | Throw a lubricated item. |
| WHEEEEEEEEE! | How far can you go? | Throw a x10 lubricated item. |
Issues
Potato refinery is an unsupported block due to being an April Fools' joke; therefore, related issues are not expected to be fixed.
