Microcosm is a mod that provides numerous blocks that provide or manipulate resources in the form of small block sized buildings that can level up as they work. It also includes decorative blocks to create you're own Micro Village.  This mod is in Active Development and updates providing new blocks and features come frequently eventually.  If you'd like to provide feedback, ask questions, or make suggestions for new blocks.  Please join us on our Discord Server

Microcosm 1.19.2 version has been released.  No new functionality like handling copper has been added as yet. 

Microcosm 1.18.2 version has been released. 

Hints and tips:

Farming:  farms can share fields.  The more of a certain seed item in the designated slot sets how likely that crop is to be harvested.  Beehives, besides providing honey bottles, also will slightly increase field growth rates in a small radius around them.  Connected Wells and Middens increase rates as well.  Silos hold a LOT of resources.  Farmhouses can also share a singular midden between them. Paths will connect the well's water source to the farm house if you want to place the well farther away.  one well can supply multiple farmhouses this way.  

Mining: you can place multiple of an item in the focus slot of the mine.  the bigger the stack the bigger the multiplier for that specific resource.  So while the mining chance for an emerald is very low it can be increased with a full stack of emeralds but it will still be fairly low.  while a full stack of coal or iron will multiply their already high chance.

Smelters: Rate and Amount of ore increases with the level of the smelter.  It may be a good idea to only have one smeltery handle multiple mines to increase it's level up rate.  Gold smelts faster than iron so setting gold ore as the focus for one or more mines can increase XP gains.

Forestry: Forester huts replant harvested groves faster than lumberjacks and have a larger radius per level so plan your layouts accordingly.  Forester huts only find one resource at a time and it can change everytime they go out and forage.  As they do not have extra storage, hoppers or transport pipes are useful to get the most from them.

Lumberjacks: Set the desired log you want harvested in the target slot.  If you wait till they 'tick' it will convert all current logs in inventory to that type.

Hunters: They will not travel to the Nether or to the End but they can be convinced to take a break and go fishing.

Seekers: These towers are only (currently) useful if you have other mods that utilize Curios.

Work Orders and Destination Orders: if you hold them in your hand particles will appear over the building they are linked to.  Also they can work at any distance in the same dimension as long as both chunks are loaded.

Decorative: if you right click an empty plot with a sapling it will turn into a harvested grove and will eventually grow into a full grove.  A Leaf block will plant a singular decorative only small tree, and a Flint will make it an empty plot with a rock in it. 

All Microcosm tiles are "transparent" so you can place a light source under them to light them up.

Empty and decorative plots can be rotated with an empty hand.

Quarrys: provide stones but if a grindstone is placed near one it will provide cobblestone, gravel, and sand.
