Simple Grinder
by Rumaruka
Simple Grinder adds a single crusher block to Minecraft, with the same function as other crusher mods, for players who do not want a large tech mod.
What it does
The crusher block is the mod's only addition. It performs the same job as the crushers in other technology mods, and it is aimed at players who want one crushing block without installing a large set of machines. Simple Grinder runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.18.2 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
A single crusher block
One block adds crushing to the game, without the power networks and machine chains of larger technology mods.
Same function as other crushers
The block works like the crushers found in other technology mods, so recipes and workflows will feel familiar.
Fits modpacks
Its small footprint suits modpack makers who want crushing without adding many other systems.

What the author says
If you dont love to install large mods like IC2, Mekanism, or Thermal Expansion for multiply ores, then I found a solution! Mod add one block, but its functions are absolutely the same as other crushers.
