Do you know about the igneous rocks which were added to Minecraft with the most recent update? Diorite, andesite and granite all give players new options for construction, especially since they come in rough and polished forms. That’s a lot of new colors, textures and whatnot. However, that was not enough for one modder who decided to add a lot of function to the new rocks. The Igneous Additions mod does just that, allowing players to craft slabs and stairs with each of the three new rock types – and that’s just the beginning of what you can do with this mod.
Granite, diorite and andesite can be used to make pillars, furnaces, crafting tables, buttons, gates and many other objects; much more than the stairs and slabs which were the first goal of the mod’s author Syntaxial. The mod is still getting regular updates and was recently made to work with Minecraft Forge version 1334, so it should easily work with any other mods you currently have installed, as long as you’re using Forge to manage them. Because you can make tools and even weapons from those rocks with the Igneous Additions mod, the new rocks effectively stand in for cobblestone in almost all recipes.
That does not mean you can mix the two materials together, though. If you want to make a granite pickaxe for example, you will need three blocks of granite; you can’t use two and a block of cobblestone, or something like that. The three igneous rocks are also much harder to farm than cobblestone. Even amateur Minecraft players know how to make cobblestone generators, but no such thing exists for andesite, diorite or granite, so keep that in mind. Overall, this is a nice mod for those who want more function from the materials which already exist in vanilla Minecraft.

please
I’m pretty sure it has compatibility issues with TMI
nice mod , I just did a whole Sphax BDcraft Texture pack for it 😛 .. The only thing I don’t like at the moment is the obsidian tools is are little OP .. Obsidian is so easy to get. Maybe you can have a config for us to fiddle with to customize the balance for our selves or have the recipe for the obsidian tools be a little more expensive 🙂 .
Nice mod, but I think there are some images missing to form some items. Just tried to make an andesite post and got the pink and black checkered image. same for Granite and Diroite. Guess thats why its a BETA release.
Um I cant find any regular stone, at all???
Asking questions are really good thing if you are not
understanding something completely, except this article offers
good understanding even.
