Description
Simple furnace-like workbench that "mines" raw ores into their component ore crafting material. Discards the parent rock block that you would normally get by mining the ore. Useful for anytime you acquire a full ore block instead of the ore item, like with a quarry mod or something like silk touch (I made this specifically to handle the raw ore output from the Better Quarry mod). Currently uses the vanilla furnace model as I don't know how (nor have the skill) to create new models.
Has recipes for the following ores and stone types.
adamantite: magma_cracked, magma
cobalt: shale, slate_cracked, slate
copper: sandstone, shale, stone
gold: basalt, calcite, sandstone, shale, stone, volcanic
iron: basalt_cracked, basalt, sandstone, shale, slate, stone, volcanic
mithril: stone
silver: basalt, sandstone, shale, slate, stone, volcanic
thorium: mud_cracked, mud, sandstone
Output is 1 ore item per 1 ore block.
Additional recipes can be added by targetting the "Dech_VirtualOreMiner" bench.
In the future I want to include an additional input slot where a tool (pickaxe, etc) could go that would determine processing speed and if there are any special properties of the tool (enchantments or other special effects) it could be applied as part of a virtual block break event.
