This mod also helps you to contain blocks like cobblestone in chests and gives you some useful (missed or deleted in vanilla) recipes like 2 logs into 16 sticks to help you progress faster!
Mod is free, I made it to just make survival more entertaining by adding some stuff I thought vanilla Minecraft could have / or should have.
Languages included: English (UK/US), Spanish, Polish.

Hardened blocks:
- cobblestone - when you are a miner you always have stacks of cobblestone hard to contain in chests.
- quartz - mining quartz used to be the fastest way of getting experience and you always had stacks of quartz hard to contain in chests.
- stone - players often smelted stacks of cobblestone to get additional experience from it, making them have loads of stone hard to contain in chests.
- netherrack - you get a lot of this in Nether because it's everywhere and it's easy to mine.
- hardened cobblestone can be smelt into hardened stone.
~ hardened blocks are like f.e. lapis blocks - they help you contain loads of blocks in chests by connecting them and then crafting back.
Recipes:
- all recipes can be found in the "Images" section (except for Podzol Dirt due to no more place on the image, it's made by 6 dirts and 3 dead bushes on it)
- Rhodonite and Ruby recipes look the same as the vanilla recipes.
- Diorite, andesite and granite can be crafted into cobblestone making them no longer useless and filling your inventory up
- Wither Boss can be summoned now without the trouble of killing over 100 wither skeletons to get heads (crafting recipe).
Notes:
- Rhodonite items are better than iron items.
- Ruby items are mostly equal to netherite items (better than diamond items).
- Rainbow items can be obtained only in Creative mode.
- Rainbow armor stats are equal to Ruby armor stats, except for the enchantability, rainbow armor has more enchants (like gold armor).
- Experience ores are not affected by Fortune enchantment.
Known issues:
- For the time being custom shovels' effectiveness doesn't affect flint gravel.
