Adapting Your Factory When Diamond Shards Are Disabled
Rerouting Automation Systems
If you've built automated systems expecting to produce diamond shards, you'll need to reconfigure them. Remove or repurpose any mechanical crafters or assembly lines that were dedicated to this recipe. These machines can be redirected toward other valuable recipes that the mod still supports.
Finding Alternative Diamond Sources
Without craftable diamond shards, focus on traditional methods:
- Mine diamond ore directly from deep underground
- Use fortune enchantments to maximize ore drops
- Explore caves and mining shafts thoroughly
- Consider branch mining if your world is already explored
Adjusting Your Progression Plan
If you were planning to use diamond shards as a stepping stone to endgame content, reassess your tech tree. Look for alternative recipes that lead to the same advanced materials or tools. The mod includes many other crafting paths—explore what's available now that shards are off the table.
Storage and Organization
Update your storage systems and sorting networks to remove any filters or hoppers specifically designed for diamond shards. This frees up space for other materials.
