Stones Begone!
This is a small and handy mod to reduce the amount of stones dropped from explosions. Very large explosions results in very, VERY large amounts of stones littering the crater. Not only can this lead to lag but it also clogs up your inventory. This mod's primary purpose is to make it more convenient to use the larger bombs from other mods that creates very large explosions by simply reducing the chance for rock blocks to yield drops.
This mod targets only the naturally occuring rock and cracked rock blocks, so other blocks such as ore blocks are unaffected. It does so by checking the item code of the destroyed block [ code.Contains(":rock-") ], this means that any mods that add their own rock types or new variants to the vanilla list of rocks are also affected, provided that the item code contains ":rock-" or ":crackedrock-". In the config you can set a simple flag to tell this mod to only affect the vanilla list of rocks, this changes the method for checking the blocks to [ code.BeginsWith("game:rock-") ].

"PreserveRockBlastDrops": false (if 'true', bombs with the EnumBlastType.RockBlast will be ignored, e.g. Stone Blasting Bomb)
"PreserveHalite": false (if 'true', halite rock is ignored)
"PreserveMarble": false (if 'true', marble rock is ignored)
"PreserveLimestone": false (if 'true', limestone rock is ignored)
