Chisel Reborn in All the Mods 10

Chisel Reborn adds lots of blocks that are variations of vanilla blocks. This pack includes version 2.0.1 for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge, and the mod has been in the pack since version 0.32 or earlier.^[1][2]

How you use it

The quest book describes it as a mod based on Chiseled. Everything revolves around the Chisel. Right click with it to open its GUI, put in up to a stack of blocks, pick the design you want and take the result out. You can also leave the blocks inside the Chisel.^[3]

If you want a faster way, left click a block with the Chisel to change its design without opening the GUI. The quest book also says this Chisel has no durability, so you won't wear it out.^[3]

Where the quest book puts it

The quest "Chisel Reborn" quest is in the "Building Tips" chapter, which is chapter 3 of 66 in the book and has 90 quests. It comes right after "Changing Blocks" quest, which introduces the idea of turning blocks you already have into ones with different shapes, designs or even entirely new blocks.^[3]

Going further back, "Changing Blocks" quest follows "Tools!" quest, which in turn follows the chapter's opening quest "Building Tips!" quest. "Paxel" quest also branches off "Tools!" quest, so it sits beside the changing blocks quest rather than after it.^[3]

Among the quests the sources show, none lists the Chisel Reborn quest as its prerequisite. The text of 55 of the chapter's 90 quests isn't included here, so check the quest book itself to see what else sits around it.^[3]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Everything in Chisel Reborn begins with one tool: the Chisel. The mod adds lots of blocks that are variations of vanilla blocks, and the Chisel is how you switch a block between those designs. In the pack's quest book, "Chisel Reborn" quest sits in the Building Tips chapter and comes right after the Changing Blocks quest.^[1][4]

Craft the Chisel

The pack changed the Chisel's recipe, so use the in-pack version below. It is a shaped crafting recipe.^[5]

This is the pack's changed version of the Chisel recipe, not the mod default.

Learn the ways to use it

1. Right Click with the Chisel to open its GUI. Put up to a stack of blocks into it, choose the design you want, and take the result out.^[4]
2. Or skip the GUI and Left Click a block with the Chisel to change its design on the spot.^[4]

What to do next

Once you have the Chisel, try it on the blocks you already build with. The quest describes it as a way to change the designs of some blocks, so don't expect every block to offer variations.^[4]

Here's the honest picture for a "core mechanics" section: Chisel Reborn is a block-variation mod. It adds lots of blocks that are variations of vanilla blocks, and nothing in the sources for this pack describes machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or automation for it. So there's no machine setup to learn here, just the tool and how the variant blocks behave when you break them.^[1]

The chisel tool

The tool at the centre of the mod is the Chisel. The pack changed its crafting recipe from the mod's own, so go by the recipe below.^[6]

The project page lists a GUI for the mod, but the sources give no detail on how it works.^[1]

Variant families

The mod's names show a lot of families, each made from a vanilla base such as stone, sandstone, planks, concrete colours and more. Examples are Array Stone, Braid Oak Planks, Chaotic Stone Bricks, Bevel Creeper Sandstone and Bismuth Diamond Block.^[7]

What they drop when broken

The loot tables in the sources show that most variants drop themselves. That includes Array Andesite, Array Black Concrete, Bevel Creeper Sandstone and Bevel Skeleton Red Sandstone. The one condition on those is that the block must survive an explosion.^{[8][9][10][11]}

Two array blocks are the exceptions, and both depend on your tool enchantments:^[7][12][13]

• Array Glowstone drops itself if your tool has Silk Touch. Without it, you get a random amount of glowstone dust instead, boosted by Fortune and kept within a minimum and maximum count.^[12]
• Array Ice only drops if your tool has Silk Touch. Without it, the loot table gives you nothing.^[13]

Chisel Reborn doesn't have a tier ladder in this pack. The sources show one tool, the Chisel, and the quest book gives the mod a single quest.^[3][6]

Where it sits in the quest book

The quest "Chisel Reborn" quest is in the Building Tips chapter, chapter 3 of 66 in the book. The chain runs "Building Tips!" quest, then "Tools!" quest, then "Changing Blocks" quest, and Chisel Reborn comes right after that. Its task is to obtain the Chisel.^[3]

Changing Blocks also leads to other block-shaping quests: "Chipped" quest, "Rechiseled" quest, "Framed Blocks" quest, "Domun Ornamentum" quest and "Camol" quest. They sit beside Chisel Reborn, not after it.^[3]

Getting the Chisel

The pack changed the Chisel recipe, so don't rely on what you remember from other packs. This is the in-pack version:^[6]

This is the recipe as the pack changed it.

Using it

• Right click with the Chisel to open its GUI. You can put up to a stack of blocks in, pick a design, and take them out. You can also leave them in the Chisel.^[3]
• Left click a block with the Chisel to change its design without opening the GUI.^[3]
• The Chisel doesn't have durability.^[3]

Chiseled block drops

Chisel's array blocks, such as the andesite, cobblestone, deepslate and concrete variants, have loot tables that drop themselves when broken (unless the block is destroyed by an explosion).^{[8][9][14][15]}

The glowstone array block is the exception. With Silk Touch it drops itself. Without it, you get glowstone dust instead, and Fortune adds a bonus to the amount, up to a cap.^[12]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

In this pack, Chisel Reborn has one quest, and it sits in the Building Tips chapter. The quest is "Chisel Reborn" quest, and it comes right after the Changing Blocks quest in that chapter.^[4]

Its task is the Chisel item. The quest text is a short intro to how the tool works.^[4]

What the quest teaches you

• Right Click with the Chisel to open its GUI. You can put up to a stack of blocks into it, choose the design you want, and take the blocks back out. You can also leave them in the Chisel.^[4]
• Left Click a block with the Chisel to change its design without opening the GUI.^[4]
• The quest says this Chisel has no durability, so you don't need to worry about it wearing out.^[4]
