Clay From Dirt

<p><strong>What Exactly Is This?</strong></p> <p>Are you tired of filling up crates upon crates with dirt after a terraforming project? Are you annoyed at having absolutely nothing useful to do with that dirt? I know I was. I was also really tired of having to run all around trying to find clay, especially with larger clay-intensive projects like filling cellars with vessels or building with bricks. So, I made this mod - it simply adds a recipe that allows you to transform all that useless dirt into useful <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">blue</span> RED clay!</p> <p><strong>How Does It Work?</strong></p> <p>Simply! All you need is a barrel, some dirt, and some water. Mix equal parts water and dirt, seal it for a day, and you'll be left with a barrelful of fresh clay!</p> <p>NEW! You can place a full stack of 64 dirt into a barrel with only 50 litres of water, to create a full stack of 64 red clay!</p> <p><strong>That Doesn't Soun-</strong></p> <p>Realistic? Well, a few steps are skipped, but you can absolutely extract clay from soil. In real life, you'd thoroughly mix equal parts dirt and water, wait for all the heavy silt and sand and rocks to settle to the bottom, then pour the clay slurry into another container, then wait about a day for that to settle, and you'd be left with a big glob of super-wet clay that you'd then need to squeeze into something workable.</p> <p>That all sounded like too much work for a nascent modder, so I simplified - mix water and dirt, get clay. Simple and clean.</p> <p>If you want a more realistic and involved experience,&nbsp;<span class="mention username">grintera</span> made a mod with that improved depth, available <strong><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/17461">here</a></strong>. That mod is not mine, and vice versa, so please send any bug reports to the proper author.</p> <p><strong>Are There Incompatibilities?</strong></p> <p>I sure hope not! There might be an issue if any other mod adds a recipe involving barren, low, or medium soil mixing with water in a barrel, but I don't know of any like that.</p> <p><strong>What About Fire Clay?</strong></p> <p>Fire clay is craftable in vanilla using blue clay and flint. This mod also adds recipes to create fire clay using red clay (not blue) and flint, crushed quartz, or bonemeal.</p> <p><strong>New Feature! 9/3/25</strong></p> <p>Due to popular demand, blue clay is now craftable! Craft red clay with a wooden pan to pass it through the sieve and remove impurities to draw out the red and be left with a nice blue-gray!</p> <p><strong>Future Plans</strong></p> <p>Nope!</p> <p><strong>Other Notes</strong></p> <p>This is my first mod! I hope you enjoy it. Please give me any feedback you have!</p>
