RockQoL
by gameo7
RockQoL opens more stone materials to crafting, so tools, weapons and functional blocks can be made from stone types that vanilla leaves as decoration.
What it does
Stone types that vanilla treats as decoration gain crafting uses. Several stone blocks can be crafted into stone tools and weapons, and the stone tool material tags accept them. Functional blocks such as furnaces, droppers and dispensers can be made from stone blocks, and quartz blocks can be crafted back into four nether quartz. Repeaters can be crafted with copper ingots in place of redstone.
The changes are additions to recipes rather than new items, so they apply to any recipe that uses the stone crafting materials or stone tool material tags. Installation is required on the server, while players may add the mod to their clients, which is optional. RockQoL is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 29 release versions, 1.19 – 26.3. The author states the mod is intended to run on later builds and to support spear recipes. Its license is All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
