Realistic Stone Processing is a lightweight KubeJS script that adds meaning to your mining by introducing a realistic "Ore Beneficiation" process.

Have you ever wondered why crushing 1000 tons of Deepslate only yields standard gravel? In reality, even common rocks contain trace amounts of precious metals. This script allows you to build an industrial factory to extract them using the power of the Create mod.

⚙️ How It Works (The Loop)

Crushing (Comminution): Process any stone block (Cobblestone, Granite, Deepslate, etc.) in Crushing Wheels or a Millstone to turn it into Stone Dust.
Washing (Concentration): Use an Encased Fan + Water to wash the lighter dust away. You have a chance (30%) to obtain Mineral Concentrate—a heavy residue containing metal sulfides.

Smelting (Refining):

🔥 Regular Furnace: Burns off impurities to yield Iron Nuggets.
🏭 Blast Furnace: The intense heat and oxygen flow allow you to extract Gold Nuggets from the refractory ore.

🪨 Geological Accuracy (Rock Density)

Not all rocks are created equal. To encourage deep mining and logistics trains, this mod accounts for rock density:

Sedimentary (Soft): Stone, Cobblestone, Sandstone -> 1x Stone Dust.
Igneous (Hard): Granite, Diorite, Andesite, Basalt -> ~1.5x Stone Dust.
Metamorphic (Dense): Deepslate, Tuff -> 2x Stone Dust.

Tip: A factory fed by Deepslate from the depths will produce 200% more gold than a simple Cobblestone generator!

📦 Installation

This is a KubeJS script, not a standalone .jar mod.

Install KubeJS and KubeJS Create.
Download the .zip file.
Extract the kubejs folder into your Minecraft instance folder (merge it with your existing kubejs folder).
Restart the game.

Textures included: Custom pixel-art textures for Stone Dust and Mineral Concentrate are automatically included.

Permissions

You are free to use this script in any modpack.
