Eroding Stone Entities Mod FAQ

Place a source of flowing water, then drop your stone-type blocks into the moving stream. After the configured erosion time passes, they convert into sand, red sand, or clay depending on the block type.

It needs to be flowing water, not a still source block. A waterfall or a stream channel works; a flat pool won't trigger erosion.

Cobblestone, Stone, Andesite, Granite, Diorite, and Gravel are the main sand-producing blocks. Drop them into flowing water and they erode into sand.

Red Sandstone, Netherrack, and Nether Bricks erode into red sand. These are the nether-themed stone blocks in the mod's conversion list.

All non-glazed terracotta blocks erode into clay. By default you get clay balls, but you can change the config to output clay blocks instead.

Place ice blocks under the water stream. With the preventErosionIfAboveIceBlock option enabled, any block above an ice block is protected from erosion, which is useful for item transport channels.

The default is 150 seconds, controlled by the durationInSecondsStoneErodes config option. Lower it for faster farms or raise it if you want a slower, more controlled process.

Yes. Set erodeIntoClayBlockInsteadOfClayBall to true in the config and terracotta will produce full clay blocks instead of individual clay balls.

Yes, the mod lets you customize the block-to-material mappings in its config. You can add your own entries or reassign existing blocks to sand, red sand, or clay.

Erosion is handled per dropped item entity, so large numbers of simultaneously eroding blocks can add some load. It generally plays fine alongside tech and automation mods, but avoid dumping thousands of items into one stream at once.
