minEX (Mineral Expansion)

minEX (Mineral Expansion) — Compress and Upgrade Resources! [1.14.60+]

Have you ever wondered what to do with thousands of cobblestone, dirt, gravel, or sand blocks after long mining sessions or massive terraforming? Usually, this "junk" is just thrown away or left to gather dust in hundreds of chests for years, taking up space and cluttering your world.

The minEX (Mineral Expansion) add-on completely changes the game! Now, every basic block becomes an important element in a complex technological chain. This add-on introduces a multi-tier resource upgrade and compression system, allowing you to efficiently recycle mountains of materials into advanced items.

🌟 Key Features:

Tier System (Tiers 1–6):

Almost every basic block has received 6 stages of gradual upgrades (indexed from ex1 to ex6). Gather simple blocks, compress them, and advance to new technological stages!

Full Coverage of Basic Materials:

The upgrade system works for 10 types of blocks:

Mining Blocks: Cobblestone, Cobbled Deepslate, Andesite, Diorite, Granite, Tuff.

Surface Blocks: Dirt, Gravel, Sand, Red Sand.

Hundreds of New Crafting Recipes:

All crafts are logical and balanced. They seamlessly fit into survival gameplay, helping you free up your chests and turn quantity into quality.

Perfect Optimization for Mobile Devices:

The add-on features specially optimized mobile textures (pamobile). It won't overload your smartphone's RAM: expect stable FPS, no freezes, and no crashes even when storing a huge amount of new items in your inventory.

Technical Stability:

All internal logic and commands are powered by an advanced function system (.mcfunction), which guarantees high compatibility with other add-ons and smooth, lag-free performance.

Foundation for New Mechanics:

The mod already includes structures for custom animated objects, new materials, and unique entities (such as custom projectiles and TNT for excavations).

🛠 How does it work?

Mine tons of standard blocks (e.g., regular dirt or cobblestone).

Combine them using a crafting table according to the recipes to get a tier ex1 item.

Combine tier ex1 items to create ex2, progressing step-by-step up to the maximum and most valuable tier ex6.

Use higher-tier compressed resources for advanced crafting or compact storage of your wealth!

📱 Screenshots & Structure:

The mod is divided into two classic packs:

minEX_behavior_pack — handles logic, functions, items, and crafting recipes.

minEX_resource_pack — contains optimized textures, models, and animation controllers.
