Basalt Crusher FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get started with Basalt Crusher Mod?
Craft a Basalt Crusher block and place it down, then you'll need jaw liners to start crushing basalt into gravel. Jaw liners are consumable and will wear out over time, so you'll need to craft or find more as you process basalt.
What do I need to convert gravel into sand?
Place a Grizzly block underneath your Basalt Crusher, and it will automatically convert 1/4 of the gravel output into sand as the basalt is crushed.
How is the Gravel Mill different from the Basalt Crusher?
The Gravel Mill is a separate block that uses mill rods to crush gravel into sand, giving you another way to process gravel if you don't want to use the Grizzly setup or need more sand production.
Can I process Volcanic Rock with this mod?
Yes, if you have Terrestria installed, you can crush Volcanic Rock into Black Gravel, then further process it into Black Sand, which yields Obsidian Shards for crafting.
Do jaw liners and mill rods respawn or do I have to keep crafting them?
Jaw liners and mill rods are consumable items that wear out and must be replaced; you'll need to craft new ones as you use them up.
What's the best way to set up a basalt processing chain?
Stack your Basalt Crusher with a Grizzly underneath to convert gravel to sand in one step, then use Gravel Mills for any additional gravel processing needs to maximize efficiency.
Does this mod work with vanilla survival?
Yes, the mod is designed with a vanilla-friendly aesthetic and works perfectly in vanilla survival worlds without requiring other mods.
What happens if I don't have a Grizzly under my Basalt Crusher?
Without a Grizzly, your Basalt Crusher will only output gravel; you'll need to process that gravel separately using a Gravel Mill or by placing a Grizzly underneath.
Can I use Obsidian Shards for anything besides crafting?
Obsidian Shards are primarily a crafting ingredient; check your mod's recipe list or JEI to see what items you can make with them.
Is this mod compatible with other mods?
The mod includes built-in Terrestria integration for processing Volcanic Rock, and it's designed to work alongside other mods without conflicts.
