Grinding Station
by Nikki_Star
Grinding Station is a Fabric technology block that turns raw ore into ore dust and then into smelted ingots, fed by hand or by hoppers.
What it does
Players can add ore to the station by right-clicking it while holding the ore in the main hand. Hoppers can also feed it from above or below, so ore moves through the machine without manual loading. Once the station is powered, it starts processing the ore it holds, and the resulting dust is ejected out the front. A hopper placed under the station collects that dust. The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License as open source, with Fabric files for 1.21.11 only.
Key features
Manual ore loading
Right-clicking the station with ore in hand loads it directly, with no extra items or setup needed.
Hopper automation
Hoppers placed on the top or bottom of the station load ore automatically, allowing simple chained setups.
Dust output
Processed ore is ejected as dust from the front of the machine, where a hopper below can collect it.
