How to Build a Renewable Deepslate Generator

Normally, Deepslate is a finite resource that forces you to tear up underground terrain whenever you need dark building blocks. This mod lets you generate renewable Deepslate using a simple lava and water setup.

Checking Your Y-Level

The renewable Deepslate generator only produces Deepslate at configurable Y levels rather than everywhere in the world by default.

1. Press F3 to open the debug screen and check your current XYZ coordinates to see your vertical Y height.

2. Build your generator within the mod's allowed elevation range. If a standard setup produces regular Cobblestone or Stone instead of Deepslate, move deeper underground or check the mod's configuration file to see which Y levels are enabled.

Constructing the Generator

Once you are at a valid height, set up a classic lava-and-water block generator.

1. Build a small containment frame out of non-flammable blocks with two chambers separated by a single central generation space.

2. Dig a one-block hole next to the generation space for the water stream to drop into; this keeps water from flowing into your lava source block and turning it into Obsidian.

3. Place your water bucket on one side and your lava bucket on the other so the two fluids meet in the middle space and form Deepslate.

4. Stand in front of the generated block with a Haste II Beacon, Efficiency V Netherite Pickaxe, and Hoppers underneath to farm Deepslate continuously.
