Stone Bricks Mod
For all of you stone brick users!

NOTE: THIS MOD ALSO WORKS IN 1.7.2!

Overview: This mod includes new stone bricks as well as tools to make various things related to stone bricks easier!


Installation Instructions
1. Download the file (click here!).
2. Put mod into your mods folder in .minecraft

Blocks
Note: All crafts yeild 8 blocks.

Inverted Bricks
There is an inverted version of all bricks that can be gotten by surrounding a redstone torch with stone bricks (or one from the mod) .

Wood Bricks
Wood bricks add that extra bit of texture to your build! Craft them by surrounding a stone brick with a wood type.

This is what all of them look like in-game (Bottom - Normal, Top - Inverted):


Uncatagorized Aesthetic Bricks
Next we have the other decorative bricks: Sandstone, ender, end stone, and the inverted version of regular stone bricks. Surround a stone brick to craft with the respective ingredients (sandstone, ender pearl, end stone) to craft.

Screenshot:


Practical Bricks
These stone bricks are ones that actually do something.
The glowstone brick emits light.
Ingredient used: Glowstone block



The redstone brick acts like a redstone block.
Ingredient used: Redstone block



The lucky brick gives you a random non-inverted stone brick (this includes vanilla stone bricks but excludes itself). If you use an inverted lucky brick, it will give you the inverted version of the randomly chosen block.
Ingredient used: Gold ingot



Items

Hammer
The hammer has a few uses. When combined in shapeless crafting with any vanilla stone, it will produce 4 rubble and take away a durability.
You can also right-click stone to turn it into cobble and right-click stone bricks to turn it into cracked stone bricks. This also takes up a durability.
The hammer can be crafted like so:

#BS
#SB
S##

#: Nothing
B: Stone brick
S: Stick

Crops
Stone brick seeds are made by surrounding a seed in a crafting table with 8 rubble. This yields 8 stone brick seeds.

After you plant a stone brick seed, you cannot get the seed back. You must wait a very long time until the stone brick seed grows into a full stone brick! At this point, you can harvest it to get one stone brick (which can be used to make more seeds!). Bone meal will work.

Wands
Wands are an extra feature that will allow you to do some great things with stone bricks.

Wand of Exponential Growth
When you right-click a normal stone brick of cobblestone with this wand, it turns mossy. Because of this, you no longer need to find mossy blocks in dungeons and strongholds.
Here is the crafting recipe:

#SE
#SS
S##

#: Nothing
E: Emerald
S: Stick

Also, for 16 emerald essence, you can convert a dirt block into a grass block.
Shapeless crafting it with an emerald once it has run out of emerald essence will recharge it.
This is what it looks like:


Rod of Reversion
Right-clicking on any type of cobblestone will turn it into stone and right-clicking on any type of stone brick will make it become normal.
Recipe:

#ID
#SI
S##

#: Nothing
D: Diamond
I: Iron Ingot
S: Stick

Crafting with a diamond recharges once it is empty.
This is what it looks like:


Wand of De/Stabilized Ender
If you have a normal stone brick in your inventory, right-clicking on a block with this wand will break the block, put the item inside of you, and put a stone brick where the block was. This has many applications such as easy redecorating (especially when used with other wands), easy block harvesting (such as obsidian), and more.
This is how you craft it:

#E#
#SE
S##

#: Nothing
E: Eye of Ender
S: Stick

This wand starts destabilized. In order to stabilize it, you must shaped crafting it like so:

##E
#W#
D##

#: Nothing
D: Diamond
W: Wand of Destabilized Ender
E: Ender Pearl

Once you use up the wand, it will become a destabilized wand again so you will need to recharge it again.
This is what it looks like:
Destabilized:

Stabilized:

Look at me signature.

Wow! Looks awesome! I guess I'll use that too!

Quote from Cheeyev»

I like the Wood Bricks! Have you thought about supporting other mods with them, like Twilight Forest, Tinker's Construct Slime trees (?), Highlands Trees, Biomes O' Plenty Trees, etc? And like before, can I use this mod in my modpack?

I have thought about mod compatibility but I've tried to stay away from making my mod use code form other mods and instead just have it be as well written as possible and just hope for the best. I will look into it but I cannot guarantee any results.

Yes you can use it in your modpack.

Quote from Ameer»

Would be cool if you could use an overlay texture for every block (but make it into a new block of course) so that you wouldn't have to make every block manually. If you get what I'm saying.

I'm not quite sure how to do that...

Quote from Marshallnx»

I will take a look at them however i are unable to promise any results.

What?

I would say yes but when I made this mod, I was unaware of lang files and so I hardcoded the names into the mod. I'm not sure if a lang file would work to override that or if the code takes priority
