IMPORTANT!: You do not need Essential Mod to use this mod/datapack!
About:
This mod/datapack adds some recipes that i think are essential for create. (I personally recommend adding it to oneblock, but you can also use this in normal worlds) Feel free to add/remove/customize the recipes (only possible in datapack version)
CONTENT:
Here are top 3 recipes that are included in the datapack/mod and I think that you will use these the most. (all recipes are avaiable in the gallery section)
Zinc - If you wash limestone under a fan, you have 10% chance of getting a crushed raw zinc, which also solves a problem with getting it. Now you can build an automatic farm and do not have to go mining every time you need some.
Diamond - By compacting 9 blocks of coal, you will now have a small chance to get a Diamond!
Coal - When you compact 4 charcoal you will get one coal, so you can make automatic diamond farms, and save yourself the hassle of mining.
