Material Split
by some_duck
Material Split, a Forge and NeoForge management mod, adds intermediate pieces for materials such as diamond and netherite so that small quantities can be crafted and recombined.
What it does
Crafting in Material Split works in both directions. A diamond can be split into nine diamond nuggets, and an ingot-level material can be broken into smaller parts such as slices, pieces and fragments. The same chain then rebuilds the larger item: several netherite scraps form a netherite slice, slices form a piece, and so on up to a netherite clump.
The mod also includes a set of merged nugget and material recipes, along with a list of new items and their recipes. Netherite recipes cover the full chain from scrap to ingot, so a player can work with the material at whatever size a build or a trade needs.
Material Split runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across three release versions, 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Diamond splitting
A diamond splits into nine diamond nuggets, and nuggets can be combined back into a full diamond.
Netherite breakdown chain
Netherite scrap, slices, pieces, fragments, stacks, towers, piles and clumps each convert into the next size up or down.
Merged material nuggets
Some materials gain merged nugget recipes that combine smaller quantities into one item.
New items with recipes
The mod registers new split-size items, each with its own crafting recipe shown in the item list.
