TinkerTime: Geology

Add more realism to the gemstone mining process in Minecraft with the TinkerTime: Geology modification! This mod completely reworks the system for obtaining diamonds and emeralds, making it more logical and exciting while keeping gameplay straightforward.

How It Works

Instead of getting ready-made materials immediately after mining ore, you'll need to go through several processing stages. First, you'll mine raw gemstones from the respective ores. Then they need to be smelted in a furnace to remove rock remnants and obtain dull crystals. The final stage is polishing the dull crystals in a stonecutter into shiny diamonds and emeralds that can be used in crafting like regular vanilla items.

This mechanic adds depth to the mining process and turns rare resource acquisition into a more meaningful and enjoyable activity.
