Gem and Crystal Forge

Mod ID: 1265313758

About This Mod

This mod adds a "Gem and Crystal Forge" which can be used to crush Aberration gems into crystal, upgrade or downgrade gems (Green <-> Blue <-> Red), or dye crystals into gems. Server admins can adjust the crafting requirements and yields of every recipe (or even disable recipes entirely) in the INI settings. This allows server admins to balance the mod however they like.

But why make this mod? Well, the Aberration map is teeming with gem nodes, but crystal is incredibly hard to find. It seems reasonable to give players a way to convert the gems that they mine into crystals, given the similarities in their physical real-world properties.

This mod is clean and stackable, and will work on any map.

Enjoy!

And if you want to support the mod, one of the best ways is to like/favorite the mod, so that other people can find it too. =)

You can change "Enabled" to "Disabled" to hide the recipe from all the crafting benches. If you set the "Dye" amount to zero, the recipe will not require dye. Enjoy!
