dirt king
by very.mod.mc
Dirt King is a server-required datapack-style mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt that changes how dirt blocks turn into other materials.
What it does
Crafting dirt yields diamonds, and smelting dirt yields iron, so a player who harvests dirt gets valuable materials instead of a common block. The datapack-driven rules were rethought after the mod was first released, because dirt could be over-harvested in a world. Early progress runs through a few basic utility blocks before the stronger gear becomes reachable.
Key features
Dirt turns into diamonds
Crafting with dirt produces diamonds, giving a quick early source of the gem.
Smelting yields iron
Smelting dirt produces iron, adding a second route to the metal beside ore mining.
Rebalanced dirt rules
The dirt conversion rules were reworked to address over-harvesting in worlds that used the first version.
