Renewable Gravel and Sand
Renewable Gravel and Sand adds crafting recipes that turn cobblestone into gravel and gravel into sand, so these materials no longer depend on mining alone.
What it does
Gravel and sand become renewable through recipes: cobblestone yields gravel, and gravel yields sand. The recipes use the same pattern as the diorite recipe and produce four items per craft. The mod is server required and client optional, so the server must run it while players may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for 1.21.7 only, and the code is all rights reserved, not open source.

What the author says
Adds a recipe for duplicating sand using gravel, and a recipe for duplicating gravel using cobblestone. They use the same pattern diorite uses, and provide 4 per craft. (See gallery) Now you don't have to do grueling sand or gravel mining ever again! Only tested in 1.21.7, almost certainly works in other versions…
