Anvil Crushing Recipes Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using anvil crushing recipes?
Place an anvil above a block you want to crush, then let it fall naturally or push it with pistons. The mod will check if a crushing recipe exists for that block and apply the result when the anvil lands on it.
What blocks can be crushed by anvils?
The mod includes crushing recipes for many blocks like pumpkins, saplings, and various stone variants. You can see the full list in the mod's data files or by checking which blocks have recipes defined in your specific modpack.
Can I create my own crushing recipes?
Yes, the mod is data-driven, meaning you can add custom crushing recipes by creating JSON files in the appropriate data folder. Check the mod's documentation for the correct file structure and recipe format.
How do I make a renewable resource farm with this mod?
Set up a system where anvils repeatedly fall on blocks that produce valuable resources—for example, crushing saplings or degrading blocks into rarer variants. Use hoppers, pistons, and repeaters to automate the cycle of crushing and collecting results.
What happens when an anvil crushes a block?
The block transforms into whatever the crushing recipe defines—it might drop items, degrade into a less refined version, or create an entirely different block. The anvil itself takes durability damage based on the recipe.
Do crushing recipes work on entities?
Yes, the mod supports entity crushing recipes, though the specific entities and outcomes depend on what recipes are defined in your modpack or data files.
Can I disable specific crushing recipes?
Since the mod is data-driven, you can disable recipes by removing or editing the JSON files in the data folder, or your modpack may provide a config option to toggle specific recipes.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is generally lightweight, but large-scale crushing farms with many falling anvils can impact performance depending on your system. Consider limiting the number of simultaneous crushing operations if you experience lag.
Will this mod work with other mods?
Yes, the mod is designed to be compatible with most other mods. However, if you're using modpacks with custom recipes, make sure the crushing recipes don't conflict with other mod mechanics.
How much durability does an anvil lose when crushing a block?
The durability loss depends on the specific crushing recipe defined for that block. Check the recipe data or test with your anvil to see how many crushes it can perform before breaking.
