Fabricae Ex Nihilo
Fabricae Ex Nihilo adds barrels, crucibles, sieves and strainers that turn blocks, fluids and items into new materials and resources, and it requires Fabric API.
What it does
Barrels are the central piece of the mod. Adding an item or a fluid to a barrel can convert it into something else, and what the barrel produces depends on the block below it and the fluid inside it. Water poured into a barrel over mycelium changes into a different fluid, and sand placed beside a barrel filled with water can become soul sand. Barrels also feed many recipes across the mod.
Crucibles, sieves and strainers cover the rest of the material chain. Organic material placed in a crucible yields water, and adding a heat source beneath it yields lava, while wooden crucibles cannot hold hot fluids. A sieve sorts blocks by the mesh placed on it, so each block gives its own yield, from saplings and seeds to diamonds. A strainer collects fish gradually. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric and Quilt files are published for 1.20.6, with a 1.18.2 – 1.20.6 range across six release versions, and Fabric API must be installed alongside it.
Key features
Fabricate nothing
The mod is built around the idea that a world can start with no renewable source of materials, and it supplies ways to make them.
Fluid transformation
A barrel changes the fluid inside it according to the block beneath, and it can turn nearby blocks into new ones based on that fluid.
Fluid top
The fluid placed above a barrel decides what the barrel makes from the fluid inside, such as obsidian from water and lava.
Hammer and silkworm leaves
Breaking blocks with a hammer converts them into other blocks, and silkworms can infest leaves that later drop string when broken with a crook.
Sieves and strainers
Sieves produce resources by sifting blocks through a mesh, and strainers gather fish over time.

What the author says
There's no such thing as a non-renewable resource. Gain access to everything you need while lost in the vast nothingness of skyblock worlds and other such places. Barrels are used for numerous recipes across FEN.
