Crafting Refinements: Renewable Rocks
by Fire-Horse27
Crafting Refinements: Renewable Rocks makes cinnabar, coral, calcite and tuff mostly renewable through recipes that resemble their finished products.
What it does
Crafting Refinements: Renewable Rocks changes how several materials can be obtained in survival. Cinnabar, coral, calcite and tuff get recipes that produce them from more common inputs, with some loss accepted in the result. Diorite, andesite and granite recipes are adjusted so that tuff can be crafted from one andesite and one diorite to yield two tuff blocks. Sandstone yield is increased, and stonecutter and blast furnace recipes are given rates that match or exceed the regular ones.
The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may add it for the same content. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a data pack option, for 26.3 only. The latest file is 5.0+mod for 26.3, first published and last updated on 2026-09-18. The author lists a source code repository and an issue tracker.
Key features
Renewable cinnabar
A new cinnabar recipe reflects the mercury content of cinnabar, since the mod counts it as renewable in survival.
Coral to calcite
Four dead coral blocks can be turned into four calcite blocks, so reef material supplies a calcite block set.
Overabundance crafting
Some recipes return more material than the inputs, and 2x2 and 3x3 blocks of the same material can be unpacked.
Brewing with full blocks
Brewing recipes accept full blocks, tools and armor as ingredients, and the recipes follow the pattern of the finished products.

What the author says
This pack is part of a series meant to refine the various recipes found in Minecraft to be balanced, consistent, and convenient. This pack should work on the latest version of Minecraft, even if I haven't updated the metadata yet. Please report an issue if it doesn't function in the latest update.
