Vanilla Industrialization
by whytiffy
Vanilla Industrialization adds blocks, machines and items for turning ores and stone into dust, plus steel and copper gear and weapons.
What it does
The mod adds new blocks, processes and functional items that aim to semi-automate parts of vanilla play. A Pulverizer breaks raw ores into dust and stone into cobblestone or gravel, and flint, sand and dust can be crafted into one another. Steel blocks, tools and armor are included, and copper tools and armor oxidize over time like the vanilla copper blocks.
Weapons are part of the content as well: spears, revolvers, revolver carbines and grenades. The author notes these are expensive to craft and may be game-breaking, and the mod's current bugs and issues are listed on its public tracker. Vanilla Industrialization runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric is the only loader, and the code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
