About this Mod

Now requires Geckolib

I often find myself with an abundance of ingots I don't need, and far too few of the ingots I do need. Using a pinch of alchemy I can now transform my surplus of bronze into something useful.

This simple mod adds the Philosopher's Stone, and the Alchemy Stone. These can be crafted on a crafting table. The Philosopher's Stone, when used in a Brewing Stand with an appropriate ingot and a pinch of blaze powder, can convert an ingot into one of a lower tier. The Alchemy Stone does the inverse, converting an ingot into one of a higher tier.

The Stones are not consumed in the process, and have 32 uses each before they break. Additionally there are a couple of easter "egg" transmutations.
