For people like me who doesn't want to go through the "gravel sieving sequence" way too many times and doesn't know how to use kubejs and stuff
(BTW the sequence is "use the hammer to get gravel, the sieve the gravel, then use the pebbles to make stone and repeat")

What is "as much grinding?" The burden of this falls on the modpack maker or user. I'm not going to go out of my way to add something subjective that should really be done with an addon or a data pack. The whole point of everything being data-driven is that you can change any of the sieve recipes and anything else in the mod without having to write code.
