Have/do you
1. Installed a quarry mod and had it mine loads of cobble?
2. Mined way too much and got your storage full of cobble?
I had the 1st one happen to me, so I made this mod to put loads of cobble to use.
Iron extraction in v1: Make cobblestone into rocks, make a hammer with 2 rocks and use the rest of your rocks to make iron ore nuggets to make into iron ore.
Iron extraction in v2: Make cobblestone into rocks, make a hammer with 2 rocks, find 9 magnetite ore (a relatively rare ore) smelt them, make a permanent magnet with 9 ingots, combine it with 2 stone powders to extract 1 iron dust which smelts into an iron ingot
Made with MCreator for personal use, feel free to use it in any way you want. Also, if you wanna make mods but can't code, I recommend MCreator.
New in V3, netherrack gold extraction:
To create the new magnet required, you'll need a new material. For this:
Fill a bucket with lava, a whole lot of shinies (iron block, gold block, nether quartz block, and a diamond), and 3 glowstone dust for extra shininess, throw the bucket in a furnace until it decays into a glistening powder, pour it onto a gold ingot to create greed alloy, a metal so shiny and beautiful, it would make the humblest of people greedy for it.
After that, just encase some soulsand within the alloy and apply redstone dust to activate the alloy's abilities. Boom, you got a hellmagnet.
Now just make netherrack into nether rocks, pulverize them with your rock hammer, and use your new evil-looking magnet to pull the gold right out. Gold isn't magnetic, but the nether has magical forces which work similarly.
