🪓 Dust & Ores
introduces a brand-new way to process your ores — using Crushing Hammers!... Turn raw materials into dust with just your hands and some brute force!
⚙️ How It Works
🖐️ Right Hand: Hold one of the Crushing Hammers (Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, or Netherite).
🤚 Left Hand: Hold a raw ore item (like Raw Iron, Raw Copper, Raw Gold, etc.).
🪄 Right-click to crush and obtain the corresponding dust.
