Renewable Cinnabar
Renewable Cinnabar makes cinnabar obtainable from an ordinary farm by adding a rule for lava over sulfur.
What it does
In vanilla Minecraft, cinnabar cannot be produced repeatedly, so the mod makes it renewable. When lava pours onto water and a block of potent sulfur sits directly beneath that water, the result is cinnabar instead of stone. This lets a player build a farm around an existing stone generator design rather than hunting for the material. The mod runs only on the server and requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric and the 26.2 game version, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.
Key features
Cinnabar from lava and water
Lava flowing onto water over potent sulfur produces cinnabar in place of stone.
Farmable with stone generators
The new output fits existing stone generator builds, so no separate setup is needed.
Potent sulfur as the trigger
A block of potent sulfur beneath the water is what turns the generated block into cinnabar.

What the author says
This is a very straightforward mod to make cinnabar renewable, since it isn't in vanilla. When lava pours onto water from above, if the water block has potent sulfur directly beneath it, it'll turn into cinnabar instead of stone. This means it's easily farmable with existing stone generator designs, and the…
