Any chance this could get updated to 1.19? Thank you!

Doesnt seem to work for 1.19.x. Everything is there, but even without any mods but this one, you cant interact with the bonfire in any way to add or even light the bonfire. Cheating in a lit bonfire also does nothing either. Its like the bonfire is being treated as a regular decor block

Will this be updated to 1.19? My server events wouldn't be the same without a big bonfire :D

YokieWartooth Done!

Please update to 1.18.1!

This mod needs to be balanced. Not only is the recipe too expensive, but the AoE is ridiculous. It DOES NOT crack the blocks all around it. I tested it multiple times and it only cracks the block directly below it. It's also extremely loud. In the time it takes to construct a bonfire and crack the ore, a player can pan a stack of gravel and have enough copper from that to make an anvil. Even if this mod did what it says it does, it's just too expensive and time-consuming to justify using over vanilla methods.

Just wanted to say this mod still works really well. However, I wish the range and the amount of blocks were increased. I placed down two bonfires: one near an ore deposit and the other near a large andesite boulder on a cold world. The result was a bit disappoitning. None of the copper ore cracked, and I only got two chunks of andesite out of the large boulder.

Wilsonrost Weird, I'm using it in a game and have no problems with pit kilns. But I will investigate. Are you using any other mods?

Can confirm this works on 1.16.1.

I am not 100 percent sure but I think this might be messing with the pitkiln? Ours kept going out and leaving no fired clay goods, but after we removed the mod, the pitkilns started working again. Thanks

Travisplo It works with any ore, but it always just lowers the tier by 1, so for example it will let you mine iron with a copper axe, or meteoric iron with a bronze one.

Very interesting idea! It's certainly a nice way to be able to get early-game metals. I assume this only works with lower tier ores?

Really neat idea! The shape feels weird, though, like the whole thing is going to collapse if you look at it too hard. There should be either rocks or horizontal sticks at the bottom, I think, but that's just my opinion.

Using bonfires to crack rock and obtain ores is both realistic, and ingenious. No longer do you need to grind panning forever or get lucky with exploring.
The range could probably be increased though. I put one right up to an ore deposit and only 2 blocks cracked; the one directly next to the bonfire and the one behind it.

Lovely! Going to look forward to using these bonfires to mine ore in my next playthrough!

Nice and health idea to this game and world!
