Plan Your Resource Economy

With automatic cobblestone generation disabled, you'll need alternative stone sources:

1. Decide where players will obtain stone and cobblestone:

  • Mining from the world naturally
  • Other mods' stone generation systems
  • Custom crafting recipes
  • Specific designated quarries or mining areas

2. Consider the progression impact—stone is fundamental for early-game building

Adjust Gameplay Balance

  • Increase natural stone deposits in your world if using custom terrain generation
  • Provide early-game stone access through mining or trading
  • Document the change in your modpack's guide so players understand the new resource flow
  • Test that players can still progress through normal gameplay without lava-water farms

Prevent Accidental Cobble Generation

Even with the mod active, educate players that:

  • Lava and water won't auto-generate blocks
  • They should plan stone gathering differently
  • This is intentional for your modpack's design philosophy

This creates a more controlled, intentional progression system where stone becomes a managed resource rather than infinitely renewable.
