What it does

Players who want a steady source of rare items can use the recipes in this mod, which turn coal, charcoal and zinc into more useful outputs inside Create machinery. Create is required, and the mod is delivered as a datapack as well as a mod file, so server owners can pick either form. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the server must run it while clients may leave it out.

Key features

  1. Compacting recipes

    Nine coal blocks compact into a small chance of diamond, and four charcoal compact into one coal.

  2. Renewable materials

    Recipes for zinc and copper make those materials available without extra mining.

  3. Datapack option

    The same recipes ship as a datapack, so a server can use them without installing the mod file.
