Sky Resource Generators
Simple machines that turn a tiny skyblock island into an endless supply of ores, raw materials, seeds and saplings. No power, no configuration: craft a generator, give it what it needs, and collect the output.
Built for NeoForge 1.21.1. Works with any mod that tags its ores and materials with the standard c: tags.
Inventory generators
These store what they produce in a 3×3 inventory. Right-click to open the interface, or pull items out with hoppers and pipes.
| Generator | What it does |
|---|---|
| Simple Ore Generator | Place an ore block on top of it. It produces 1 copy of that ore every second. |
| Advanced Ore Generator | Same as the simple one, at 2 ores per second. |
| Random Ore Generator | Produces 1 random raw material (c:raw_materials) every second. |
| Random Seed Generator | Produces 1 random seed (c:seeds) every second. |
| Random Sapling Generator | Produces 1 random sapling (minecraft:saplings) every second. |
Placement generators
These place ore blocks in the free space above them, once per tick. Mine the block and the next one appears.
| Generator | What it does |
|---|---|
| Simple Ore Placement Generator | Place it on an ore block. It copies that ore above itself. |
| Random Ore Placement Generator | Places a random ore block (c:ores) above itself. |
| Raw Conversion Generator | Insert one raw material or ore as a catalyst (it is never consumed). It places the matching ore block above itself, for example Raw Iron gives Iron Ore. Diamond ore and Ancient Debris work too. |
Condensers
| Block | What it does |
|---|---|
| Primitive Water Condenser | Right-click with an empty bucket to get a water bucket. Turns dirt into mud, and dust blocks (from sieve mods like Ex Nihilo) into clay. |
| Primitive Lava Condenser | Right-click with an empty bucket to get a lava bucket. |
Interfaces
Every machine has a vanilla-style interface that shows:
- what it is producing, with live item icons;
- a progress arrow and the production speed;
- a status light (Idle, Running or Blocked) with the reason on hover, for example "Place an ore block on top of the generator."

Mod compatibility
- Ores are detected with the
c:orestag (legacyforge:oresis also checked), so ores from other mods work automatically. - Raw materials and seeds use
c:raw_materialsandc:seeds. - Blacklist: add any block to the
sky_resource_generators:banned_blocksblock tag in a datapack to stop the generators from producing it.
