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.
