Create Cobblestone (NeoForge)

This addon for the Create mod is specifically designed to combat lag caused by traditional cobblestone generators. An ideal solution for servers aiming to maintain stable TPS without the need to purchase expensive hardware.

The mod offers not only cobblestone generators but also devices for producing stone, basalt, limestone, and scoria, expanding resource automation capabilities.

Crafting Generators

Cobblestone Generator

The crafting recipe was updated in version 1.4.7 - corner casings at the bottom have been replaced with metal ingots.

Recipe before version 1.4.7:

Generator Types

In the base version of the mod, the following are available:

• Cobblestone
• Stone
• Basalt
• Limestone
• Scoria

An additional datapack adds generators for:

• Deepslate
• Cobbled Deepslate

Each generator type can be enabled and disabled through configuration. When disabling a generator currently used in the world, it will be replaced with an empty block.

Efficiency and Stress

The amount of cobblestone produced per tick depends on revolutions per minute (RPM), which in turn are determined by consumed Stress Units (SU). With default settings, every 8 RPM provides +1 cobblestone per tick, and each RPM increases stress by 8 SU. Thus, one cobblestone per tick costs 64 SU.

Configuration

Production Parameters

Stress per RPM and the RPM to cobblestone production ratio are configurable through settings.

Generator Types

Available generator types are also configurable. By default, all are enabled except for deepslate generators, which require a datapack installation.

Custom Generators

Using datapacks, you can add custom generator types with individual stress, efficiency, and storage capacity settings. An example implementation can be seen in the deepslate generators datapack.

Technical Implementation

Custom generator files are JSON files located in the datapack folder data/MOD/generator_types/TYPE.json with required content:

{
  "block": "minecraft:BLOCK_ID",
}

The file can be expanded with additional parameters (inside existing brackets):

  "stress": STRESS_AMOUNT,
  "ratio": GENERATOR_RATIO,
  "storage": GENERATOR_STORAGE,

Default settings are overridden by individual settings for each generator.

Balancing

Note that the mod significantly simplifies cobblestone acquisition. If you consider this unbalanced, you can modify the generator crafting recipe via datapack or CubeJS, or adjust configuration to reduce generator productivity.
