In Pitkiln:

In the crafting grid you can combine 16 lime with a pot. The filled pot can be fired in a pitkiln like in vanilla and one pot takes one of the four quadrants in a pitkiln. Once it is fired you can remove the quicklime from the pot using the crafting grid.

This method is more efficient as it turns 16 lime into 10 quicklime per pot. Lime bricks can also be fired in a pitkiln but it is more efficient to use a beehive kiln.

 

In Beehive Kiln:

Using the crafting grid shape three lime into a brick. These can be fired in a beehive kiln to turn them into Quicklime bricks. The whole 3x3x3 space can be used for maximum fuel efficiency.

Afterwards the Quicklime bricks need to be pulverized to turn them into usable quicklime.

This method is slightly more efficient as using the pots in pitkilns, it turns 3 lime into 2 quicklime (The vanilla method turns 2 lime into 1 quicklime).

great job

well the main nerf is that it processes less overall, to bring it more in line with the beehive kiln method.

but the ratio is lowered aswell (16:10), if it was the same it would be 16:10,666. Akari_Enderwolf

The 1.1.0 update is actually a buff for the pitkiln method, not a nerf, yes it's lower numbers, but it's less loss. there was a loss of 8 items for the old numbers, the difference between 24 and 16, and the update makes the loss only 6 items. which makes it a buff in how much quicklime we get per lime.

It does seem to work in 1.20.3

I love this mod! anyone tested it on 1.20?

💬 Xeros08, Jan 26th at 4:34 PM

Lovelly mod, and easy to understand.
One thing I'd personally like to see is a custom "Guides" entry listing how to use the mod ingame, for use in servers.

Can we get this to also work with flint?

Pottery is fired at 1100+ degrees Celsius, so yes, a pit kiln by definition can reach that high.

Kurazarrh Thx for the appreciation! I am unsure that a pitkiln can realisticly achieve the needed 825°C, but with the right type of wood, or coal, it maybe can. But I think this is a nice solution for now, maybe we get a lime kiln in the future.

💬 Kurazarrh, Mar 2nd 2023 at 8:49 PM

Oh man. I have GOT to try this out. I've been dying for a quicklime solution for a long time. No idea if this solution is realistic, but it's kind of close enough to a lime kiln that it makes me happy! Thanks for making this mod.
