Grit and Gristle Mod (1.21.1) – Hammer Ores and Grind Herbs at Manual

Grit and Gristle Mod introduces manual crafting workstations that let you hammer, grind, and mix materials by hand. Instead of crafting items instantly in a simple grid, you crush herbs with a pestle, flatten metal ingots with heavy hammers, and stir hot recipes with a ladle. This mod works well as an early game crafting step or as a manual companion for larger machine setups.

Features:

• The Workstone: Serves as your primary station to hammer raw items into plates and crush rough ores.
• Tiered Hammers: Craft hammers out of flint, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite with scaling durability.
• The Mortar: Holds herbs, minerals, and liquids for grinding and manual mixing recipes.
• Crush plants, crops, and minerals into fine powders and colorful dyes using the pestle.
• Stir multi-ingredient mixtures and liquids inside the mortar by using the ladle.
• Place the mortar on top of campfires, blaze burners, or other heat sources to process heated recipes.
• Includes the Millstone as an early-game processing block when played alongside tech setups.
• Ponder integration provides animated 3D visual guides for every workstation in-game.
• Full recipe display support for JEI and EMI to view every grinding and crushing combination.
• Adds extra hammer tool materials when playing with Caverns and Chasms or Oreganized.

How to Use:

1. Place down a Workstone or Mortar block in your base.
2. Place your raw ingredients directly onto the workstation block.
3. Hit the Workstone with a crafted hammer to flatten ingots or crush raw ores.
4. Use a pestle or ladle on the Mortar to grind ingredients or stir mixtures.
5. Set the Mortar on top of a campfire or hot block if your recipe requires heat.
