Eroding Stone Entities (Legacy Fabric)

This mod is part of the The Vanilla Experience modpack.

Sustainable Sand and Clay Farming

Eroding Stone Entities mod solves the problem of sand and clay scarcity in Minecraft, providing players with an eco-friendly way to obtain these resources. When you already have chests full of cobblestone but desperately need sand for glass constructions or clay for pottery — this mod will be your salvation.

How Erosion Works

Simply drop any stone block into a flowing water stream, and after 150 seconds it will transform into sand, red sand, or clay. For the erosion process to activate, the water must be moving — stagnant water has no effect.

Transformable Blocks

Turn into regular sand:

Cobblestone, mossy cobblestone, stone, stone bricks, chiseled stone bricks, cracked stone bricks, smooth stone, gravel, andesite, polished andesite, diorite, polished diorite, granite, polished granite, sandstone, chiseled sandstone, cut sandstone, smooth sandstone, end stone, and end stone bricks.

Turn into red sand:

Red sandstone, chiseled red sandstone, cut red sandstone, smooth red sandstone, netherrack, nether bricks, and red nether bricks.

Turn into clay balls:

All types of unglazed terracotta.

Erosion Protection

If you use water streams for item transportation and don't want stone blocks to erode, simply place ice blocks underneath the stream. This will completely stop the erosion process.

Configuration Options

All mod parameters can be customized to your needs:

• durationInSecondsStoneErodes (default = 150, minimum 1, maximum 3600): Time in seconds after which a stone block erodes in water stream
• preventErosionIfAboveIceBlock (default = true): When enabled, prevents erosion of stone blocks above ice blocks
