About this project
What does Stone Grinder add?
This mod adds a Grinder block, which includes utility recipes for building blocks. Unused building materials can be recycled into other blocks, and sand is made renewable. This mod is available for both the Fabric and Forge mod loaders. The Fabric version of this mod requires the Fabric API.

The Grinder block in action.
Usage
To craft a Grinder block, surround an iron ingot in the center slot with cobblestone in a crafting table. The Grinder block is powered by fuel, similar to a furnace. Blocks take 5 seconds to grind.
