Outdated Discontinued (Craftable Bricks) 1.8 (Enraged Koala)

I've ended work on this mod. If you want me to continue updating, please notify me in the discussion. Have a nice day
With the Craftable Bricks mod I aim to add as many convenient crafting recipes as I can relating to bricks and easy (yet realistic) resource-gathering. Currently, it adds in 80+ new recipes, 18 new blocks, and 4 new crafting stations.

*note: this is my first mod and I don't really know anything about coding, so... don't expect any particularly amazing additions :/ (especially things involving lua... lua isn't exactly one of my strongest areas of expertise.)


Planned Additions:
*More custom blocks-please leave any ideas in the discussion, 'cuz I need them. (they will all be very seriously considered and probably added ; )
*More ways to keep things renewable
*More recipes
*Custom crafting station interfaces
*Brick-themed decor (No, it won't just be 'Big Brick' posters. There will be some actual content.)

The crafting stations:
*If you think any of the recipes are a bit over-the-top, please tell me in the discussion.
The Compression Station:
(made with: 10 titanium, 5 glass, 5 steel bars, and one circuit board at a robotic crafting table)

For compressing stuff! (i.e.:snow into ice)
The Extractor:
(made with: 5 glass, 10 steel bars at a robotic crafting table)

For extracting things! (i.e.:smooth ice from ice)
The Grinder:
(made with: 35 planks, 35 smooth stone at a normal crafting table)

For grinding things INTO DUST. (i.e.:stone into sand)
The Combininator:
(made with: 5 titanium, 4 glass, 4 circuit boards at a robotic crafting table)

For combining things that nothing else can! (i.e.:coal and dirt into tar)

The blocks:
*There are custom blocks (around 18 of them), but I'm not writing this all down yet. This should be here soon.

The current recipe list:

furnace recipes:
1: clay = soft bricks
2: tar = tomb bricks
3: rusty metal = iron bar
4: smooth metal = steel bar
5: light metal = platinum bar
6: brittle metal (of any type) = iron bar
7: shielded tech = steel bar
8: junk = iron, I think.
9: junk tech = copper
10: girdir = steel
11: mud/mud bricks = cooked mud bricks
crafting table:
1: cobblestone = smooth stone
2: cobblestone = rock bricks
3: smooth stone = stone tiles
4: sandstone = temple bricks (all types)
5: tomb bricks = tomb bricks (all other types)
6: smooth stone = castle bricks (both types)
7: sand = fine sand
8: plant fibres x 4 = woven grass
9: plant fibres x 4 = vine tangle
10: iron ingot x 1 = 1 iron bolted plate OR 1 iron zigzag plate
11: smooth stone x 5 = 1 vortexial stone
12: 1 tomb brick = 1 tomb brick platform
13: mud = mud brick
compaction:
1: sand x 2 = sandstone
2: pixels = sand
3: snow x 5 = ice
4: snowball x 5 = snow
5: 1 bar of any higher-than-durasteel bar = 1 block of the same material
6: 1 high-tier metal block = 1 metal brick block of the same kind
extraction:
1: dirturchin x 2 = dirt.
2: inferior brain = dirt.
3: ice x 5 = smooth ice
grinding:
1: crystal x 2 = sand
2: crystal plant x 2 = sand.
3: gravel = 2 sand
4: stone = sand
combininator:
1: cobblestone + gravel + clay = concrete
2: ice + crystal = ice crystal
3: smooth ice + crystal = ice crystal x 2
4: snowball + sugar = snowballs

Specific compatible mods:
(mods I have specifically designed recipes for, or have found to pair well with CB )
*Frackin' Flora - All of the junk/brittle metal/rusty metal can be found in certain biomes from Frackin' Flora.
*Crystalworks - Avian bricks are a necessary resource for this mod. In fact, I originally designed it to make Crystalworks easier.
*The Transmutation Chest mod - Smelting shielded tech gives you steel, but with this mod, one steel ingot is equal to many, many shielded tech blocks, so you have infinite everything.


I send a special thank-you to the creators of:

The Creative Mode mod. I can't tell you how useful it was to have your recipes as a reference.

The Crystalworks mod. Looking through the mod files helped me sort out a lot of issues that would have caused endless errors.

The Reduced Pixel loss mod by Archer. Seeing just how simple a mod could go helped me realize that, while I might not be able to create something huge, I could still do something.

*final note: This mod is very much WIP, any and all input welcomed.

enjoy!
