Mineralogy

Summary

The Minecraft Mineralogy mod replaces the generic underground stone with real-world examples, the underground world has geological "biomes" of either sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks.

In addition to being able to use them in place of cobblestone in existing recipes, they can be used following a normal recipe pattern to construct slabs, stairs and walls, in addition to this brickwork may be crafted by placing the stone in a 2x2 grid, stone may be polished by placing with sand in the crafting grid, the polished stones may also be converted to brickwork, and finally these refined block types may also in turn be used to craft slabs, stairs and walls.
