Requirements

You will need these other mods for Bricklayers to work:

• Expanded Matter
  

Configuration

For the 1.20 release, you can configure some aspects like which VS vessels can be crafted in one part. These two mods must be installed all the time:

• ImGUI
• configLib

You can access the mod config by pressing "ESC" when in the game, then choose "Mod Settings". Remembe to click "Save all" and restart your game for the changes to take effect.

From 1.21 on, BL no longer has any configurable aspects.

Glassmaking and Glazing

This mod adds glassmaking and glazed ceramics as a whole new late-game mechanic. You can also create glowing glass that emits light and can be chiseled.

You can create glasscolor mixes (called Frit) by pulverizing ingredients, then grinding, sintering and grinding again. With these done, mix and smelt colored glass. You can craft new glass colors and all types of colored glass including new types like quartz, smoky, milky, dark or opaque glass.

Or create two kinds of colored glazes (clear/milky), and glaze bricks, bowls, flowerpots and planters with these in 15 different color variations.

Glazed planters and flowerpots can be decorated with an optional pattern, two versions (checker/lines) are available.

Making glass and glazes does involve automation and lots of resources and time, but the results will be really worth it.

The handbook has a new guide that will teach you all about glass colors and glazing.

Luminous Glass

Create glowing glass in different colors and brightness levels. These blocks emit light and can be chiseled.

Colored Clay

Create clay items in new colors, create clay tiles or create colorful planters, flower pots, storage vessels, crocks, watercans or mugs from it.

Porcelain

An even finer variant of clay, comes in seven beautiful colors - craft some truly special pottery items. Porcelain items often hold more portions than clay variants.

Chisel Glass

All glass types and glass colors can be chiseled, even luminous glass.

New Tiles & Panes

Craft tiles made from stone, clay or porcelain, or glass and attach them to flat surfaces to decorate your world. Alternatively, build full blocks from these these.

New Items & Uses

• Cook bones and then grind them into bone ash, an ingredient for bone china, glazings, glass. Bone ash can also be used as a fertilizer.
• Use rare materials like Uranium, Chromite or Rhodochrosite as ingredients.
• Craft drinking mugs and a functional tea set (pots, cups, and sugar bowl)

New Brick Types

Polish stone bricks into small stone bricks. Glaze burned clay bricks in 30 different colors.

Build with daub-based colored mud bricks.

Build blocks, slabs and stairs from these new kind of bricks in wonderful colors.

New Recipes

• This mod also adds recipes to convert slabs into full blocks, and blocks back to slabs.
  There are also recipes to recycle blocks back into individual stones, bricks, shingles or quartz.

 

Important Notes

• This mod is still evolving - please be careful and make a backup of your world!
• All versions from v1.0.0 on need Expanded Matter installed or it will not work.
  Please also remove compatibility fix or compatibility lib, these will crash the game.
• v0.9.2 needs CompatibilityFix Mod installed (but not CompatibilityLib!)
• v0.3.x and newer releases do not need CompatibilityLib installed.
  v0.2.x needs CompatibilityLib installed, so that pottery can be carried around.

 

We hope you enjoy our work,
