If you don't have much sand, you can use calcium carbonate as a replacement.

Every recipe mod has this recipe.

Lava + Water = Obsidian.

Similar to the diorite recipe in vanilla, however it uses coal instead of quartz.

This makes it much easier to bulk-craft mud when using mods such as AE2.

You make 16 glass panes with 6 glass, so it's convenient to be able to craft them back.

Deepslate is dark gray, cobble is gray, blackstone is dark, dark + gray = dark gray.

This recipe uses calcium carbonate, which can be obtained from smelting shells or bones.

I'm kinda surprised there isn't a way to craft tuff in vanilla, I think they just forgot they made recipes for andesite, diorite and granite. Also this is 4 ingame, I'm just too lazy to make a new image.

It's inconvenient to need to place it down to turn it back into 4 snowballs, so why not be able to craft it?

We all know how strong Steve is. He can crush coal into a lab-made diamond, which isn't good enough for armour but can be used in a Jukebox.

See, you could waste a diamond on a Jukebox, or make a crude diamond with your coal.

You can make calcite with calcium carbonate, so it makes sense you can turn it back.

Need amethyst shards? Just mine a geode and turn the blocks into shards.
