This mod is nothing fancy. I added a Condensed Coal Block that can be crafted using coal blocks! The condensed coal can't be used for smelting due to it's high density but can be further compressed into diamonds!
Besides that I added a few more of my ideas to allow for pre-end Elytra crafting, alternate Netherite Ingot, and a smithing template inspired way of crafting extra fireworks!! This mod was created for survival mode so the condensed block is not located in the creative menu (Might add later idk). The recipes can be found in the picture section! I recommend using JEI (Just Enough Items) to see all the recipes in-game.
If you have any reccomendations for alternate recipes you want to see me add, go ahead and leave a comment and I'll try to add them and update this mod. This IS my first mod, so I can't do a WHOLE lot of crazy things, but recipes I can do for sure. Also be sure to to be extra vigilant for the secret recipie I added as well :P
