Purpose
A brief video of the Pulverizer doing it's job.
The Pulverizer has a number of uses, which are:
- Double resulting output from pulverizeable crafting recipes.
- Tired of crafting all those Bones into Bone Meal manually? Automate it and get more value with a Pulverizer!
- Blaze Rods
- Crush stone blocks into their pulverized siblings. Sand & clay are finally renewable! This is also an alterantive new renewable Gravel source in comparison to Piglin Trading.
- Cobblestone -> Gravel -> Sand -> Clay
- Make dyes more generically farmable. You can pulverize any dyed: Wool, Terracotta, Glazed Terracotta, Concrete Powder, Concrete, & Stained Glass into their respecitive Dye.
- Usefully recycle full-durability Iron & Gold Tools & Armors into a full ingot.
- Give you extreme value for Silk Touched Overworld Ores
- Each output is modelled off a maximum-luck Fortune III roll.
- You can now get 4 ingots from respective Iron & Gold Ores!
- Coal, Diamond, & Emerald Ores will yield 4 respective items!
- Redstone Ore will yield 8 Redstone & Lapis Ore will yield 36 Lapis Lazuli (you need a Hopper!)
