# 2.1.0 — The Sulfur Age  Sulfur becomes part of a broader production system, with new uses for heat, material treatment and automated excavation. ## New features - **Heat Exchangers:** combine blocks into a shared structure, heat Create boilers, or use active hot surfaces without a boiler. Supports ordinary and Superheated Lava, with redstone shutdown for the whole structure. - **Material treatment:** heat Iron Sheets with ordinary Lava in a Spout, then quench them with water in a second Spout to obtain Tempered Iron Sheets. - **Refractory materials:** build with Refractory Bricks, Heat-Resistant Cladding and Refractory Glass. - **Protective coating:** apply Superheated Lava through a Spout to protect eligible dropped items from ordinary fire and lava. Treating items that are already naturally fire-resistant also protects them from Superheated Lava and its fire. - **Sulfur industry:** use Sulfur Reagent to enrich iron, copper and zinc processing, produce Rubber, and craft repair kits. - **Rubber equipment:** create cushioning Rubber Blocks and fit boots with Rubber Soles to reduce fall damage. - **Tunneling Charges:** use regular and advanced charges manually or automate excavation with Deployers, including moving contraptions. Advanced charges clear a 5×5×3 area; protected blocks remain excluded. - **Seven advancements**, including challenges for obtaining the Netherite Whisk and actually producing netherite through the sulfur processing chain. ## Production and balance - Heat Exchangers hold a combined total of **1,000 mB per block**. - Each active exchanger consumes **10 mB of Superheated Lava per second**, returning the same amount of ordinary Lava. - Lava-based mixing recipes require at least a Diamond Mechanical Mixer. Diamond and netherite multiplication remain exclusive to the Netherite Mechanical Mixer. - Netherrack processing returns two guaranteed pieces, with separate 50% and 25% chances for additional pieces. - Heat Exchangers and both Tunneling Charge variants use Create Mechanical Crafters. ## Guides and safety - Expanded Russian and English Ponder tutorials explain production, material uses, excavation and heat safety. - The general Ponder index focuses on the mod’s own production chain; compatible engine tutorials remain attached to Superheated Lava. - **Superheated Lava can destroy ordinary blocks after 60 seconds of continuous direct contact.** Refractory materials, unbreakable blocks, block-entity containers and protected machinery are excluded. This behaviour respects `doFireTick`. Make a backup of your world before updating. Install only the file matching your Minecraft version and mod loader.

# Create: Superheated Lava — 2.0 Turn lava into the foundation of automated production. This Create addon adds blue superheated lava, sulfur processing, a Netherite Mechanical Mixer, and renewable production of diamonds and Netherite. ## Superheated Lava Mix regular lava in a basin over a superheated burner: 1000 mB yields 1000 mB of superheated lava. A pie can be used to ignite the Create burner for the first batch. Regular lava maintains the burner's standard heat level, while superheated lava maintains the superheated state. Fuel can be supplied via buckets or the Create fluid system. Fluid consumption and burner burn time are configurable. Blue lava is also used as a standalone ingredient in production recipes. Superheated lava ignites nearby flammable blocks with superheated blue fire. This fire affects entities just like superheated lava and spreads 1.5 times faster than normal fire. Minecraft's `doFireTick` setting, rain mechanics, and flammability rules remain in effect. ## Netherrack and Sulfur 1. Process Cobblestone with 250 mB of regular lava using a Create Spout to obtain Netherrack. 2. Process Netherrack in a Mechanical Mixer: this yields 3–6 pieces of Netherrack and 2 guaranteed pieces of Sulfur. There is a 50% chance for an additional Sulfur piece, and a 25% chance for yet another. 3. Press 4 Sulfur pieces into a single Sulfur block. In a dry basin, there is a 1% chance of an explosion equivalent to standard TNT. Water in the basin completely eliminates this risk. 4. Wash the pressed Sulfur using an airflow through water to obtain Sulfur Powder. 5. Washing the powder a second time yields 3 units of gunpowder, plus an additional unit with a 25% chance. Four pieces of netherrack can be pressed back into a netherrack block. Sulfur powder is required not only for gunpowder but also for advanced recipes involving valuable resources. A piece of sulfur and a zinc ingot combine to form a zinc-sulfur mixture. The dropped mixture is dangerous upon contact with fire or lava: it has an explosion power of 40, compared to 4 for standard TNT. Keep it away from hot areas of the factory. ## Netherite Mechanical Mixer Advanced recipes require a specialized mechanism: - Craft a Diamond Whisk using 5 diamonds and 2 andesite alloys. - Upgrade it at a smithing table using a "Netherite Upgrade" smithing template and a netherite ingot. - Combine the netherite whisk, an andesite casing, and a cogwheel to create the Netherite Mechanical Mixer. ## Diamonds and Netherite The following recipes work only in the Netherite Mechanical Mixer. Each additionally requires **1 sulfur powder, 1000 mB of superheated lava in the basin, and a superheating source underneath**. | Ingredients | Result | | 1 netherite scrap + 1 gold ingot | 1 netherite ingot | | 1 netherite ingot + 1 netherite scrap | 4 netherite ingots | | 2 diamonds | 4 diamonds | A single netherite ingot can be processed into **4 netherite scraps** using a millstone, crushing wheels, or the Netherite Mechanical Mixer. No heat is required for this process. Loop part of the output back to the input and send the surplus to storage; this makes diamonds and netherite renewable. Sulfur powder and lava are still consumed in the process. For the netherite line, set the basin filter to the ingot to prevent the mixer from prematurely processing the input ingot into scrap. ## Other Features - Andesite Alloy: 2 units (heated) or 4 units (superheated) from andesite and an iron or zinc nugget. - Brass: 4 ingots from copper and zinc ingots (superheated). - Crying Obsidian (from obsidian) and Magma Block (from cobblestone): each recipe requires 250 mB of superheated lava and superheating. - Slime Companion (needooh): created by mixing slime and 1000 mB of superheated lava. - A dedicated Create "ponder" category links materials, mechanisms, and recipes. Scenes demonstrate lava and sulfur acquisition, safe pressing, mixer assembly, and conveyor-based production lines. - Separate Creative tab; supports Russian and English. Recipes utilize the Create system; with JEI installed, you can view ingredients and outputs, including sulfur chunk acquisition.
