Create: Better Material
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.



There were many problems with Create if you wanted to automate Copper-, Iron-, Gold- and Zinc Nuggets. Because the player had to farm Tuff by hand and the outcome when you crushed the tuff isn't really that much.
For that reason, I created three new recipes and one new item.
The Steps to automate Copper, Gold etc. :
1.Step
Mix 5 Flint, 1 Cobblestone and 250mb Lava to get Tuff
2. Step
Crush the tuff to get the new item "Material Scrap" (Which is a Flint with fragments of the four materials) and you can get Copper Gold Zinc and Iron Nuggets with a specific chance
3. Step
Crush the Material Scrap to optain one flint and Copper Gold Zinc and Iron Nuggets with a specific chance
CREDITS:
I made this with Mcreator and VSC. I made the script and the item texture on my own.
If the Percentage of getting the Nuggets is too high please tell me that!
