Sawmill
Sawmill is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge station that turns wooden blocks into their derivative forms, and its recipes can be extended by other mods and by datapacks.
What it does
Sawmill adds a crafting station that lets players craft wood-derived blocks from any wood type. Its recipes work with blocks from other mods, so the same station covers modded timber as well as vanilla planks, stairs and slabs. The mod adds no extra wooden block types of its own, and the station is the only new block.
The workstation has its own sawing sounds, and a Carpenter villager can take a job at a Sawmill, offering trades defined as data through the Moonlight villager trade system. Five unique village houses can generate with the Carpenter. Sawmill requires Moonlight Lib on every loader, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.19.2, 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.21, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
