The Crusher
This is a single mod extraction of my medieval metallurgy focused Mod named De Re Metallica. It is a simple block that looks similar to the Grinder, and turns stone variants into cobblestone in real time, without GUI. You just build the Crusher with any plank, and (hard)stone slab(stone, andesite, diorite, granite), place it, and then just right click the Crusher with stone variants in your main hand. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. See the video:
Why does this exist?
Convenience, by adding an easy and quick way to turn stone variants into cobblestones.
How to build the Crusher?
See the text above, or the images. You'll need any wooden planks, and any stone slab from hard stone. For example hardstone is granite, andesite, regular stone, or diorite.
Which stone types are processed?
All "natural" stone variants, that are within the stone_crafting_materials item tag.
Any way to customize the recipe and/or processed stones?
Sure. To customize the Crusher recipe, add anything you want to the crusher/tags/items/harstoneslab.json tag. To customize which stone variants should be processed, add anything you want to the stone_crafting_materials vanilla tag.
