Requires Fields of Salt

 

This small addon allows you to use the evaporation pond to turn hot spring water (boiling water) into powdered sulfur.

This does have the side effect of allowing you to pick up hot spring water in a bucket now. This is because I had to set liquid containers to fill with "boilingwaterportion" instead of "waterportion" in order for this to work. I don't know if there's a way around that, it seems that it affects all liquid containers universally.

 

Made for my boyfriend because he had the hardest time finding sulfur <3

I keep having to break and re-create the pool to get the hot water to flow. 1.22.3, mod v1.0.0

Do you have the same issue with a salt pool? Because all this mod adds is the recipe to get sulfur from hot spring water. The actual pool functionality comes from Fields of Salt.

- Best girlfriend; your boyfriend can be very, very lucky to have a partner like you.

Fields of salt updated

@Fishe490: Fields of salt updated

I just checked and this mod works as-is with the new update so I've marked it as such

1.22.2 update?

@Steaksauce: 1.22.2 update?

I'm waiting for Fields of Salt to update first since this mod depends on it

Fields of Salt has been updated and this mod works fine as it is right now

Faeldray , Jan 6th at 1:26 AM

Janonas Yeah, I'm not entirely sure why that happens. It's a very small amount of code that mostly just hooks into Fields of Salt. My best guess is because I modify hot spring water, that if the mod is enabled without restarting the client/server, it doesn't take effect until a restart.

Hey it would be cool if the liquid chanells and the liquid slucie worked with this from the original ppols of salt mod. Because it doesnt seem to work :(

 

Edit: nvm it works, it just needed a block update or something

JadeTheRipper Lol no problem, glad we were able to figure it out :)

JadeTheRipper, Sep 27th 2025 at 5:48 AM

Faeldray ahh that makes a lot of sense, i was trying to get it to work on a hot spring on top of a frozen mountain XD thanks for the reply, i love both mods and should be able to use them together now :D

JadeTheRipper I tested this mod and Healthy Hot Springs together and was able to get the evaporation pool to produce sulfur. I did have some problems getting the evaporation pool to form at first but restarting my client fixed that. I don't know what season it was when you tried this but it takes 48 hours to produce anything at 20C. If it's colder, it can take much longer and it stops evaporating altogether at -30C by default. So maybe that affected your results?

JadeTheRipper, Sep 24th 2025 at 8:52 PM

PSA. It seems there might be an incompatibility issue between this mod and Healthy Hot Springs, im assuming its because both alter the boiling water block. It would form the evaporation pool but never actually produce anything thorugh evaporation, removing the other mod worked.

Faeldray Fantastic, thanks!

Loving to the point of invention so goated

Faeldray , Sep 6th 2025 at 12:28 AM

CassMerry I haven't tested it yet but it should be! We patch the same file but different sections so it shouldn't conflict

CassMerry, Sep 5th 2025 at 6:42 PM

Looks really cool! Is this compatible with the healing hot springs mod?

SovietSwede, Sep 5th 2025 at 6:07 PM

Wow!

Finally a somewhat realistic way of getting sulfur!

Great work!
