Gravel to Sand

Gravel to Sand

This mod adds a renewable method for gathering sand in Minecraft. It does so by adding functionality for converting gravel to sand in a cauldron.

Functionality

When gravel itemstacks are dropped in a cauldron filled with water, it will slowly convert the gravel items into sand. Each cauldron will only process one stack at a time.

The behaviour can be modified using the config, which includes: (lower and upper bounds for the settings are shown in brackets) ```

Describes how long an item should wait between conversion ticks. (1, 100000)

cauldronTicks = 5

Describes the chance for the water level in the cauldron to decrease when an item converts. (0.0, 1.0)

waterDepleteChance = 0.1

Describes the chance for an item in the itemstack to convert into sand. (0.0, 1.0)

conversionChance = 0.01

Describes the amount of time the item must wait inside the cauldron before it will start converting. (1, 100000)

cauldron_time = 20 ```

Unless the `waterDepleteChance` is set to 0, this mod alone does not make sand automatically farmable as cauldrons cannot be automatically interacted with. I have created and maintain a separate mod for adding dispenser functionality to cauldrons called Dispensive Cauldrons. Other mods with similar functionality will work too.
