Craft Quartz - Mod for Crafting Quartz and Diamonds in Minecraft

Solution for Obtaining Quartz

Facing a shortage of quartz in an already generated world where you can't add new quartz ore deposits? This mod offers an elegant solution - special mechanisms for converting common materials into valuable resources.

Quartz Creation Process

Creating the Sieve

Start producing quartz by making the main tool - a sieve:

Obtaining Quartz Dust

After making the sieve, use it to sift regular sand or gravel. As a result, you'll get quartz dust - the main material for subsequent production.

Building the Press

Next, assemble a special press for processing quartz dust:

Main Component - Hydraulic Piston

Building the press requires a complex hydraulic piston:

Production Technology

The quartz creation process is inspired by real manufacturing methods: processing quartz dust with stone base, heating using lava to create necessary temperature, and applying pressure with hydraulic pistons.

The chance of successful quartz creation is 80%, making the process quite reliable while maintaining an element of chance.

Additional Feature: Diamond Press

The mod expands with the ability to create diamonds through an enhanced diamond press mechanism.

Diamond Press Components

This device requires two reinforced hydraulic pistons:

Then assemble the main mechanism:

Diamond Creation Process

The creation method is similar to quartz production: instead of quartz dust, coal is used with the same 80% success chance. As a result, you get diamond shards that are then combined into full diamonds:
