Mod Content
Ore Resources and Materials
Saltpeter Ore generates in large clusters of 10-15 blocks at levels 5 to 55. Found only beneath ocean and desert biomes with frequency comparable to iron ore. Mining yields several units of saltpeter - a powder material for crafting.
Building Blocks
Sandlamp - a decorative light-emitting block crafted from sand. Wet mudbrick is made from dirt and has similar properties. When placed away from water, it gradually dries (if not raining) into dried mudbrick - a sturdy stone-like material that doesn't soften when wet.
Agricultural System
Grafter is used on tall grass. Right-clicking has a 15% chance to yield either plant fiber or rice. Fiber is used to make string, while rice can be planted on paddies - special beds made from clay and dirt that must be in water with air access above.
Food Products
Rice creates several food types: cooked rice (smelted in furnace), onigiri (9 cooked rice) and sushi (rice combined with fish).
Paper Materials
Papery sheet - rice-based paper equivalent, used to make vanilla paper, woven tiles (decorative blocks with wood properties) and arrow fletchings.
Alternative Arrow Crafting
Using arrow head (from stone), stick and paper fletching allows creating regular arrows without feathers or flint.
Processing Tools
Ryoba saw transforms blocks: woven tiles become 12 shoji panels (regular click) or fine shoji panels (with Shift). Panels behave like glass but aren't transparent, emit light and have cloth properties. Using on ice yields 4 snowballs.
Spindle converts wool to string: right-click wool to collect material, Shift+right-click to release string.
Souls and More
Upon death, players drop souls used to create soul sand. Soul sand now has a chance to drop ghast tears when broken (similar to gravel and flint).
Technical Features
Most crafting recipes can be viewed through NEI or similar mods. Starting from version 2.3.3, a configuration file was added for world generation management. Version 2.3.4 fixed rice crop compatibility with Harvest Sprites and Straw Golem mods.
