The Mortar and Pestle Mod

Hi there!

Thanks for stopping by my thread to look at my mod. This is my very first mod for minecraft and indeed my first experience with Java in general. Regardless, I've still managed to put this mod together in less than 24 hours. So what is the Mortar and Pestle Mod? The Mortar and Pestle Mod was a simple Idea that I had that I deemed simple enough to help me learn Minecraft modding (and Java) without diving a little too far into the deep end. The initial idea was to add a new Item; the Mortar and Pestle and to try create a new recipe that would allow me to use the Mortar and Pestle to grind up a Bone to create more Bonemeal than what you'd have gotten from simple putting the bone into the crafting table... Needless to say, with thanks from those who write detailed tutorials; I succeeded and now have enough 'grind it up' recipes that I have myself my first small mod.

Find this mod on the Minecraft Forums: here.

Okay, so show me some recipes...

Absolutely, here you go, nicely tucked up warm under this here spoiler. Nuh pix nuh clix, right?

I want to see it working..

Well I happen to have a Channel, and I enjoy making Youtube videos... Sooo, I threw one together to show case the mod.

Pfft, noob, probably doesn't even have a config file.

I know how Google works. I've ensure all recipes can be enabled and disabled, the output quantities are configurable

and I even added an alternate recipe for the Dyes that require a bottle of water. (Default: enabled)
