Asbestos Removal
Asbestos Removal, a Fabric mod, adds naturally generating rock that yields asbestos fibers, a block built from them, and a scraper tool for disposing of the material.
What it does
Asbestos fibers come from a rock type that generates naturally in the world. The fibers can be pressed into an asbestos block, which the mod describes as flammable and dangerous. The mod also includes side effects tied to asbestos exposure, such as the cancer link and the industries where workers were historically at risk, including shipyards, mills, heating, construction and automotive work.
An asbestos scraper is the tool for disposing of the material as quickly as possible. Recipes for the blocks and items can be looked up with REI. The author notes that the wiki page was removed because of spam and requests for updates, so no separate documentation is linked.
Files are published for Fabric only and cover 1.16 – 1.18.2 across 11 release versions. Both the server and every player need the mod, since it runs on the client and the server. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The latest Fabric file is 1.2.1-1.18 for 1.18.2, dated 2022-04-04.
