Too Much Dirt
by tobasz
Too Much Dirt gives dirt a simple new use: a set of recipes that turn it into cobblestone, cobbled deepslate and blackstone.
What it does
Players who have a large dirt surplus can convert it into stone blocks through crafting recipes added by the mod. Four dirt make one cobblestone, two dirt with two cobblestone make one cobbled deepslate, and two dirt with two cobbled deepslate make one blackstone. The mod is shipped as a data pack for the server, so the recipes apply to the world the server runs.
Installation is handled through the Fabric, Forge or NeoForge loader, and the mod is listed for those three loaders across 6 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.1. The server must run it, while players may join without installing it. Version 2.0.0 is the latest build in the listing. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Dirt to cobblestone
Four dirt craft into one cobblestone, a cheap way to use excess dirt as building material.
Chained stone recipes
Cobbled deepslate and blackstone are reachable through a sequence of crafts that consume dirt and earlier stone.
Data pack delivery
The recipes ship as a data pack, so no mod code runs on the server beyond the pack itself.
