# Basalt Crusher
\nVanilla friendly fabric mod to make basalt great again.<\/p>\n
## Once Upon a Time in IRC… The Basalt Crusher does just one thing. You feed it consumable jaw liners I wanted this mod to fit in with a fairly minimalist Vanilla aesthetic. ## Terrestria integration! ## How do the jaw liner slots work? [^1]: Opinions may vary because some folks are wrong. I’ve even met people Minecraft Fabric mod to crush basalts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26095,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"basalt-crusher","_minecraft_project_id":"tFd80feS","_minecraft_author":"gniftygnome","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":4194,"_minecraft_follows":8,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"basalt-crusher.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":18271450,"_minecraft_version_count":47,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T18:47:28.247172Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2022-02-04T22:34:41.482420Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-05-12T07:43:26.213706Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/basalt-crusher","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":26095,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T09:36:33+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"5aff33de5e3df86a8880bce59ead4f9b","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[97,98,123,92],"mod_loader":[99,100],"minecraft_version":[51,52,53,54,650,651,652,653,654,655,656,55,56,57,58,59,699,704,705,706,36,707,60,716,717,93,94,101,141,142,143,144,145,146,147,102,62,155,108,37,40,41,73,71,72,746,747,748,749,750,74,38,78,79,782,783,784,80,81,82,696,697,698,139,70,760,83,167,163],"class_list":["post-26094","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-quilt","mod_category-technology","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-quilt","minecraft_version-1-18","minecraft_version-1-18-1","minecraft_version-1-18-2","minecraft_version-1-19","minecraft_version-1-19-pre1","minecraft_version-1-19-pre2","minecraft_version-1-19-pre3","minecraft_version-1-19-pre4","minecraft_version-1-19-pre5","minecraft_version-1-19-rc1","minecraft_version-1-19-rc2","minecraft_version-1-19-1","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-19-3","minecraft_version-1-19-4","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-pre1","minecraft_version-1-20-pre6","minecraft_version-1-20-pre7","minecraft_version-1-20-rc1","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-1-rc1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-2-rc1","minecraft_version-1-20-2-rc2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-5-pre1","minecraft_version-1-20-5-pre2","minecraft_version-1-20-5-pre3","minecraft_version-1-20-5-pre4","minecraft_version-1-20-5-rc1","minecraft_version-1-20-5-rc2","minecraft_version-1-20-5-rc3","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-pre4","minecraft_version-1-21-rc1","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-2-pre1","minecraft_version-1-21-2-pre2","minecraft_version-1-21-2-pre3","minecraft_version-1-21-2-pre4","minecraft_version-1-21-2-pre5","minecraft_version-1-21-2-rc1","minecraft_version-1-21-2-rc2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-6-pre3","minecraft_version-1-21-6-pre4","minecraft_version-1-21-6-rc1","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9","minecraft_version-23w16a","minecraft_version-23w17a","minecraft_version-23w18a","minecraft_version-24w13a","minecraft_version-24w40a","minecraft_version-25w05a","minecraft_version-26-1","minecraft_version-26-1-1","minecraft_version-26-1-2"],"yoast_head":"\n
\n<@jyasu<\/font>> It’s possible they don’t spawn in basalt deltas and in the quadrant I’m exploring, I keep hitting an awful lot of basalt deltas. A lot more than we’ve seen in survival2.
\n<@jacob<\/font>> Ugh, basalt
\n<@jyasu<\/font>> So, I don’t use it for anything except the pillars in my nether tunnels.
\n<@jyasu<\/font>>And honestly the only reason I use it there is I had to do *something* with the stuff and the aesthetic kinda works there.
\n<@jacob<\/font>> Time for a new mod: Basalt Crusher, which just grinds basalt and outputs gravel!
\n<@jacob<\/font>> … actually that’d be really easy to make
\n<@jyasu<\/font>> Hardest part is the graphics. <\/p>\n
\nand any kind of basalt and it gives you back sweet, sweet gravel. Its
\nfriend the Grizzly does what a grizzly does: it sorts out bigger stuff from
\nsmaller stuff. Placed beneath the Basalt crusher, it will turn 1\/4 of your
\ngravel into sand. Fed coarse dirt, it will sift the gravel back out of the
\ncoarse dirt for you. The Gravel Mill uses rods (called Mill Rod Charge) to
\ncrush gravel into sand.<\/p>\n
\nThe Basalt Crusher provides a nice use for the ugly[^1] basalt blocks, and
\nit does so in what I think is a pretty Vanilla way. If you want a lot of
\ngravel you are going to need an iron farm. The iron jaw liner will crush
\n250 basalt blocks at a cost of 31 iron ingots (but late game, there are
\noptions to increase the output quite a bit). The Gravel Mill also uses a
\nfair amount of iron for its consumable mill rods.<\/p>\n
\nIf you play with Terrestria installed,
\nBasalt Crusher adds some extras based on Terrestria’s Volcanic Island biome.
\nYou can crush Volcanic Rock into Black Gravel and from there to Black Sand.
\nBlack Gravel yields Obsidian Shards in the same manner Gravel yields Flint.
\nAnd Obsidian Shards have several convenient uses…<\/p>\n
\nSince 0.2.0, the mod allows the user to input a stack of jaw liners to the
\nleft slot and have them move one at a time to the right slots where they get
\ndamaged. Minecraft does not admit it is possible to stack things that can
\nbe damaged or enchanted and jaw liners are both. This means you may see
\nslightly strange behavior in your inventory related to this feature. I
\nthink overall it’s worth the convenience, though.<\/p>\n
