Extra Item Uses
by Willatendo
Extra Item Uses is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod that gives stone and deepslate blocks more crafting and tool routes, plus shovels and sticks new functions.
What it does
The mod adds further functions to existing items. Stone Bricks can be cracked into Cracked Stone Bricks, and Cracked Stone Bricks can be turned back into Stone, which is in turn convertible to Cobblestone. Deepslate Bricks, Cracked Deepslate Bricks, Deepslate Tiles and Cracked Deepslate Tiles follow the same pattern, with Cobbled Deepslate as the end of the chain. Shovels take over a job that was previously done by cracking, so stone and gravel can be worked into sand and gravel.
Stone and gravel processing opens sand and gravel farming, which makes those materials renewable for players who want a steady supply. Sticks receive a new use as well, serving as a tool for shaping certain blocks with a chisel. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.4, and the source is open under the MIT License.

What the author says
Shovels get the same function, but instead of cracking, they can grind! Stone into gravel, gravel to sand. Allowing the farming of sand or gravel, and making them renewable! Sticks are the last thing to get a major update, they can be used to chisel certain blocks!
