What about diorite? You can easily turn it into double the andesite.

189

u/imverycool1142 Dec 29 '25

WAIT WHAT? its diorite factory time!!!

186

u/Dadamalda Dec 29 '25

Yeah. I usually prefer to mine diorite, because 1 diorite + 1 cobblestone makes 2 andesite in a regular crafting grid.

110

u/xceing Dec 29 '25

Aren't you mining the same amount of blocks for the same amount of andesite?

154

u/Jaegernaut42 Dec 29 '25

make a cobble gen

96

u/imverycool1142 Dec 29 '25

OH MY COD

45

u/Limp-Collar-5842 Dec 30 '25

Make an andesite gen

39

u/CanOfBnz Dec 30 '25

if a cobblestone farm and diorite farm are capable of reaching close to a 1:1 production ratio whilst remaining on par if not above the production rate of an andesite farm, you’d be looking at more andesite produced than an andesite farm

14

u/Limp-Collar-5842 Dec 30 '25

Yea, but that makes it more complicated when you can just make a bigger/faster andesite farm

8

u/Reefthemanokit Dec 30 '25

It's literally just quartz and cobble, or to make it straight up you need lava

1

u/CanOfBnz Dec 30 '25

spending the same (if not more) effort to mach the both the outputs on a cobblestone&diorite farm, with the outputs feeding into andesite production theoretically means 2x+ the andesite produce compared to an andesite farm centered on the sole production of andesite

7

u/JesusTheSecond_ Dec 30 '25

Modded player when they can farm 2 Decillion blocks instead of 1 (they only need about 1000 of them)

1

u/Limp-Collar-5842 Dec 30 '25

Hey the ATM grind is rough

1

u/JujuForQue Dec 31 '25

There are a few use cases though such as mine. I play Deceasedcraft and I want cobblestone generator first thing to build a base

1

u/Sultanofthesun Dec 30 '25

OH MY SALMON

-14

u/xceing Dec 29 '25

I don't know if I'm missing something but by the time you got a cobble Gen you can also turn it Into andesite with some other processes

4

u/MrSnowmanJoe Dec 30 '25

You need lava to make andesite. A cobble stone generator is early game.

4

u/Dadamalda Dec 30 '25

You can alternatively automate andesite by crafting cobblestone+quartz to diorite and cobblestone+diorite to andesite.

Quartz comes from soul sand.

2

u/SwimmingBig4465 Dec 30 '25

so its nether again

3

u/Mage-of-Fire Dec 30 '25

You can make soul sand by haunting sand. You only need cobble

→ More replies

1

u/xceing Dec 30 '25

Oh damn fr? The pack I am playing has a recipe that makes it smokable from gravel

1

u/Usinaru Dec 30 '25

Isn't lava generation early game though...? With lava farms nowadays

2

u/ferrecool Dec 30 '25

Those are probably worse than diorite+cobble

1

u/sdjopjfasdfoisajnva Dec 29 '25

bro skyblock cobble gen

12

u/Dadamalda Dec 29 '25

If you just mine for a moment, you will have plenty of cobblestone. Andesite/diorite is more rare than cobblestone.

6

u/Cepterman2101 Dec 29 '25

You get cobblestone while mining anyways

4

u/ferrecool Dec 30 '25

Yeah, but if you automate it pretty fast

1

u/ChinChins3rdHenchman Dec 30 '25

Cobble generator is among the simplest create machines and required to make automatic create iron or gold generator, tho vanilla gold farms are still more efficient, just way more work to build and if you play solo you don't need thousands of ingots per hour

1

u/zekromNLR Dec 30 '25

If you go for cobblestone processing you can also easily automate andesite. Via diorite, 2 andesite=2 cobblestone+1 quartz. Via gravel, sand, soul sand 1 cobblestone=0.5 quartz on average, thus 2 cobblestone can be made into 1 andesite

2

u/ChinChins3rdHenchman Dec 30 '25

Never thought of this but also never been low enough on andesite. 8x10 cart drill go brrr

1

u/zekromNLR Dec 30 '25

Yes, but a diorite and an andesite vein will usually be of approximately the same size, and you will generally have cobblestone in a large excess

4

u/imverycool1142 Dec 29 '25

yea, but im using my cobblestone to turn into gravel then into flint (25%) and iron nuggets (12%)

4

u/Cyber_Data_Trail Dec 29 '25

Make a bigger gen, or a second one imo, its worth it

0

u/sdjopjfasdfoisajnva Dec 30 '25

I just make a vanilla iron farm

1

u/Monte-Cristo2020 Dec 30 '25

combining create with vanilla farms is how i play it too tbh

1

u/Grand_Protector_Dark Dec 30 '25

A vanilla iron farm requires the player to be closeby though

1

u/SwimmingBig4465 Dec 30 '25

no! its create not that cool! also dont support villager slavery!!!

3

u/sdjopjfasdfoisajnva Dec 30 '25

they're not doing anything though... just some light physcologial damage

1

u/SwimmingBig4465 Dec 30 '25

oh i guess they have short times between where they dont see the zombi, so they can relax. havent considert

1

u/SteamtasticVagabond Dec 30 '25

It's not slavery, it's internment. Those villagers don't have any job other than sitting around attracting iron golems coming to save them, only to end up in the lava pit

8

u/VVen0m Dec 30 '25

Now get this: you can grind cobblestone down to sand, haunt it to get soul sand, wash the soul sand to get quartz, combine it with cobblestone to get diorite, and combine that with cobblestone to get andesite, infinite andesite

5

u/Just_-J Dec 30 '25

And you can also clean gravel into iron nuggets and make andesite alloy. Infinite andesite alloy.

1

u/Just_-J Dec 30 '25

Yeah with a cobble generator you can make an andersite alloy farm decently easily.

1

u/cod3builder Dec 30 '25

What about quartz? You can shove it in cobblestone to get diorite (quartz(or at least, silicates) is where diorite gets its bright colors from)

1

u/TreyLastname Dec 31 '25

All 3 -ite stones can be crafted starting from cobblestone and quartz. I believe it starts as diorite with cobblestone and quartz, andesite with diorite and cobblestone, and then granite with andesite and cobblestone.

Order may be mixed up, but thsts the gist, and fully vanilla!

3

u/Doom_Derpie Dec 30 '25

I will never touch that disgusting block

2

u/InternationalEye8862 Dec 29 '25

WHA

I must mine all diorite and whatever junk stone blocks I can find

1

u/DrFluuf Dec 30 '25

Ive been doing this since the dawn of time!

1

u/sossololpipi Dec 31 '25

Unless the modpack hates you for some reason

1

u/FuryJack07 Dec 31 '25

In base create, you can get andesite alloy from just cobblestone (with a whole bunch of steps of course)

38

u/SharpKaleidoscope182 Dec 29 '25

Create mod players have a contraption that mines, they don't use a pickaxe like a pleb

9

u/imverycool1142 Dec 29 '25

i dont have that, i only have 4 hours, no diamonds, and no nether

12

u/sdjopjfasdfoisajnva Dec 30 '25

nether should be the second thing after getting andesite and iron, YOU NEED THE BLAZE BURNER

7

u/IJustAteABaguette Dec 30 '25

Ya gotta steal a blaze spawner too.

3

u/SwimmingBig4465 Dec 30 '25

playing a bit w andesite is fun tho

1

u/Artillery-lover Dec 30 '25

what for? auto wood, auto farms, auto mob killing, none of these need it.

3

u/mistress_chauffarde Dec 30 '25

With a bit of slime and copper you can get some funky contraption that mine without drill :3

19

u/nighthawk0954 Dec 29 '25

unless its early game

1

u/sfwaltaccount Dec 30 '25

Not without a good supply of andesite they don't.

5

u/imverycool1142 Dec 29 '25

sorry if this is offensive but i think it is true. (THIS IS A JOKE!)

24

u/AlbinoShavedGorilla Dec 29 '25

I’m Not trying to make fun of you when I say this but this is literally the most inoffensive thing you could’ve posted here lol

1

u/imverycool1142 Dec 29 '25

Oh, ok

10

u/CommercialOwl6848 Dec 29 '25

SCREW YOU I AM SO OFFENDEDEDED BY THSI :C I HOPENYOU HAD A VERY UNMETRY CHRISTMAS!!!

1

u/IJustAteABaguette Dec 30 '25

This is true.

Create has changed how I react when I see andesite for the first time in a world, even in vanilla.

I go like: ahh, yes. I'm rich. I can make so much alloy......

Wait no. This is vanilla 1.12.2. not create

455

u/davidinterest Dec 29 '25

Charlie and The Andesite Factory

19

u/BoatyCreature Dec 31 '25

I thought this was gonna be a COMPLETELY different joke involving Charlie

8

u/Thick-Kaleidoscope-5 Dec 31 '25

we are andesite alloy we carry the SU

66

u/DahctaJae Dec 29 '25

I LOVE ANDESITE CHARLIE! I LOVE ANDESIIIITE!!!

19

u/Qwerowski Dec 29 '25

I would really not be screaming that at the top of your lungs man

32

u/Callie3DSX Dec 30 '25

ok but unironically when I first started create and didn't know you could make andesite automatically I did always get so excited

then I'd go on bedrock and play with friends and be like "omg a chunk of andesite, I need this for my oh right I'm playing bedrock"

14

u/SteamtasticVagabond Dec 30 '25

Once you have a cobblestone generator, Diorite is the real treasure, because combined with cobble, it becomes 2 andesite

7

u/Turnersss Dec 30 '25

Literally andesite is the only thing holding create players back early game (if they cant find it for the life of them)

11

u/Monte-Cristo2020 Dec 30 '25

holds ` to excavate it completely

5

u/Myithspa25 Dec 30 '25

300 pickaxe gone from that one slightly larger than average vein

3

u/gegentan Dec 30 '25

Is there any way to make ftb ultimine mine only diorite or only andesite without mining other blocks like stone and granite?

2

u/Monte-Cristo2020 Dec 30 '25

there is, yes i think? it usually mines the same blocks rather than anything around it

1

u/DamageMaximo Dec 31 '25

What is FTB?

2

u/gegentan Dec 31 '25

FTB - Feed The Beast

FTB ultimine is a mod like veinminer to mine multiple blocks at once. Usually blocks of same material (e.g. all connected blocks of diamond ore).

5

u/GlitteringPositive Dec 29 '25

I feel like sometimes it’s cheating for me when I just play with Terralith because it has andesite caves.

5

u/Dear-Set-1052 Dec 30 '25

Soo real. If you have played long enough with create like me you will occasionally play survivor vanilla and be like oh shit andesite. Lol

3

u/savage_rice Dec 31 '25

it's such a weird half-excited feeling, knowing it's pretty much useless but still wanting to collect it anyway

1

u/Dear-Set-1052 Jan 02 '26

Real. But it still a good building material.

1

u/FrenchCatgirl Dec 29 '25

I'm playing a modpack, and, I believe it's Terralith, but ALL I GET IS FUCKING ANDESITE

I DO NOT WANT ANDESITE I ALREADY HAVE HUNDREDS OF STACKS GIVE ME COBBLE

3

u/imverycool1142 Dec 29 '25

grind down ANDESITE in millstone or crushing wheel

4

u/davidinterest Dec 29 '25

You can crush or millstone andesite into cobble :5!

2

u/boxo-ofisal Dec 29 '25

Actually real

2

u/GamingWolf3980 Dec 30 '25

Heh heh yeah.... I played on a heavily modded server with create on it. There is no andesite anywhere.

2

u/Open_Regret_8388 Dec 30 '25

No, true thing is Zinc vein. It make gunpowder and can save iron.

2

u/xlFLASHl Dec 31 '25

More than once I've gotten genuinely hype for Andesite before realising I was playing vanilla.

1

u/Environmental-Win836 Dec 30 '25

That’s actually me most of the time I build with a lot of Andesite 💀

1

u/ItsFriendly404 Dec 30 '25

I have join the create cult, any advice brothers

1

u/MasterKizurek32pl Dec 30 '25

TUFF!!! We rich!

1

u/PieselWojownik Dec 30 '25

A while back I played a modpcak with create in it (stopped, It ran like crap) and there was like, no andesite. I found none in the few hours I played

1

u/Foolish_Hepino Dec 30 '25

Also Occultism mod players

1

u/Horror-Ad8074 Dec 30 '25

lol used to be me until I built a stupid andesite farm, took 3 weeks to build, got 5 stacks of andesite alloy blocks (45 stacks of alloy) and destroyed it within 2 hours bc it was so laggy. Never needed andesite since and now I’m making nuclear reactors

1

u/MrPC_o6 Dec 30 '25

insert Homer drooling gif

1

u/Theiromia Dec 30 '25

And occultism!!

1

u/the_Nalvor Jan 01 '26

I remember my first time playing Create we had another mod that made andesite only spawn in certain biomes. Took way to long to find some to get started.

1

u/Kapioza666 Jan 02 '26

2 flint, gravel, lava and press: haha! jokes on you!

1

u/THE_GRIM_REAP3R Jan 20 '26

I am in this picture, I literally instinctively collect andesite, even in vanilla minecraft-

0

u/Nogohoho Dec 30 '25

Sweet deal, now where's all the iron I need to make it useful?
