Artificial Minerals

Overview

This mod adds 8 new machines, 17 new blocks, and 22 new items all with the goal of turning cobblestone into any ore of choice! If you encounter any bugs, please comment them and I will (hopefully) fix them. Each machine will require a tutorial since they can be rather hard to grasp with no background knowlage.

Sifter

The Sifter’s top slot takes _cobblestone_. Pressing the sift button will have the chance to turn the cobblestone into other nuggets and maybe even ingots.

Recivable Item List:

Grinder

The Grinder’s top slot takes _Coal, Copper, Iron, and Gold_. Pressing the grind button will convert the ore into 9 of the ore’s nugget form.

Recivable Item List:

Fine Grinder

The Fine Grinder’s top slot takes _Coal, Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Emerald, and Netherite_. Pressing the grind button will convert the ore into 9 of the ore’s nugget form.

Recivable Item List:

Melter

The Melter must have a fire underneath it to work. The Melter’s top slot takes _Lapis_. Lapis cannot be grinded due to it having a complex magical ability that would be destroyed if grinded. Melting will result in getting 9 Lapis nuggets.

Separator

The Seperator, as well as the Fabricator, take up a 2x1x2 space. Be mindful of this while placing. The Separator must have fire underneath it’s boiler to work. The Separator’s topmost slot can hold _cobblestone_, the leftmost slot can hold a _water bucket_, and the rightmost slot can hold an empty _bucket_. When the separate button is pressed, water from the water bucket boils the cobblestone and separates the minerals contained in the cobblestone into a molten state, giving you a bucket of molten minerals. The cobblestone can be replaced with _netherack_ to create molten netherack.

Centrifuge

The Centrifuge’s top slot takes a _moleon mineral bucket_ or _molten netherite bucket_, aswell as a sample in the sample slot. If a molten mineral bucket is inserted, the sample can be any _nugget_ exept a _netherite nugget_. If a molten netherite bucket is inserted, the sample can be a _netherite nugget_ aswell as a _gold nugget_. Pressing the centrifuge button will convert the bucket into a _mineral-like metal block_.

Recivable Item List:

Enhancer

The Enhancer is an _optional_ step in the conversion process, but will yeild better results if done. The rightmost slot can have any _mineral-like block_ in it, and the leftmost slot can contain the _liquid_ used to make it in the centrifuge, such as a _molten mineral bucket_. When the enrich button is pressed, the regular mineral-like block into an _enriched mineral-like block_.

Recivable Item List:

Fabricator

The Fabricator, as well as the Separator, take up a 2x1x2 space. Be mindful of this while placing. The fabricator’s top slot takes any _regular and enriched mineral-like block_. When the fabricate button is pressed, the block will be converted into its ore counterpart. Regular mineral-like blocks will give 1 of the respected ore, and enriched mineral-like blocks will give 3 of the respected ore.
