About this Mod
This mod makes stone variants useful!
Smelt Diorite into Nether Quartz! Why? Because Nether Quartz is very hard to access for early game players, and Diorite already has that white-colored look to it.
Smelt Andesite into Basalt! Why? Again, because it's not accessible to early game players. Andesite also looks like it could be black if smelted, and Basalt is a great building block, so this is the best choice for Andesite in my opinion.
Smelt Granite into Red Bricks! Why? Because Red Bricks can be a good building component, and this way you can get large amount of red bricks a lot easier.
There's a bonus feature...

Also, if you're wondering why this mod has been archived, I finished giving it an update and was about to export it when I somehow corrupted the mod, with the backup deleted from my computer.
