Description

This mod adds 6 realistic zinc minerals to minecraft/create.

Create is a dependency.

This mod is new so check often for updates.

------

Sphalerite - Zinc Sulfide

Sphalerite is the principal ore of zinc, and accounts for 95% of worldwide zinc extraction. 

In this mod, in order to turn sphalerite into useable zinc, you need to crush it, and then blast it.

Sphalerite generates in all biomes, but has increased rates in Savannas

Sphalerite and its Ore

======

Smithsonite - Zinc Carbonate

Smithsonite is a major ore of zinc, and was the first zinc mineral to be mined historically. 

Smithsonite & Hemimorphite are the only zinc minerals able to be smelted in a furnace. In survival mode, these two minerals will be your only source of zinc ingots - until you have crushing wheels.

Hemimorphite - Hydrous Zinc Silicate

 

Hemimorphite is a major ore of zinc, and was one of the first zinc minerals to be mined historically. Smithsonite and Hemimorphite were thought to be the same mineral until it was discovered they were two different minerals.

In this mod, Smithsonite and Hemimorphite are the only zinc minerals able to be smelted in a furnace. In survival mode, these two minerals will be your only source of zinc until you obtain crushing wheels.

Zincite - Zinc Oxide

Zincite is a rare form of zinc. It is occasionally used as an ore of zinc. Crystals of zincite are rarer and are valued by mineral collectors.

To use zincite, you have to crush it, and then wash it. 

Zincite has increased spawn rates in Mountain biomes

Gahnite is a rare form of zinc, and isn't used as a source of it. Gahnite crystals are valued by mineral collectors. 

To use Gahnite, you need to crush it, and then wash it.

In this mod, adamite has no uses other than looking pretty.
