Chisel 3 in FTB Evolution 2

Same as in the All the Mods 11 0.10.0-beta guide

Chisel 3 is a building mod. It adds a huge variety of static blocks, so it is most useful if you enjoy the construction side of modded Minecraft.^[1]

This pack includes Chisel 3 version 26.1.2.18.^[2]

How it works

Most of the new blocks come through one tool, the chisel. Right click with it to open the chisel GUI, then place a block in the middle. You can turn it into other blocks of the same type.^[1]

Extra throwables

The mod project page describes two more items, which you throw with a right click, the same way as snowballs. Each one does something different on impact.^[1]

• Ball O' Moss: mossifies nearby blocks, for example turning Stone Brick into Mossy Stone Brick, and the same with cobblestone.^[1]
• Cloud in a Bottle: creates a large amount of clouds on impact.^[1]

The project page also says smashing rock decays the blocks it hits in a splash area.^[1]

Same as in the FTB Evolution 2 1.1.0 guide

Chisel is all about building blocks: it adds a huge variety of static blocks, and access to the new ones comes mostly through one tool. So your first job in this pack is simple: make the chisel.^[1]

Step 1: Make the Chisel

The Chisel is the key to the whole mod. Right click with it and the chisel screen opens. Put a block in the middle and you can turn it into other blocks of the same type.^[1]

Recipe id: chisel:chisel_iron

This is the in-pack recipe for the basic chisel.

This pack tones the iron chisel down a little. ironChiselHasModes is false, so it has no chisel modes, and ironChiselCanLeftClick is false, so you can't left click blocks in the world with it. Chisel tools also wear out here, because allowChiselDamage is true. The iron chisel's durability is 512.^[4][5]

Step 2: Find stone to carve

Chisel has its own stones that generate in the world. In this pack limestone and marble both generate between Y 0 and Y 60, and diabase generates between Y -64 and Y 0. Basalt generation is switched off in the config.^[4]

If you would rather not dig for it, Mystical Agriculture has recipes that make Limestone and Marble, 6 at a time.^[3]

Step 3: Upgrade your chisel

Once you are chiselling a lot, the pack has recipes for the Diamond Chisel and the Obsidian Chisel. The config lists larger durability values for both than for the iron chisel, so they last much longer.^[3][5]

Step 4: Automate it

The Auto Chisel does the carving for you. In this pack it accepts Forge Energy (autoChiselPowered is true), but it does not need power to work (autoChiselNeedsPower is false).^[3][4]

Fun extras

Chisel also adds throwable items that you use like snowballs. The Ball O' Moss mossifies nearby blocks on impact, for example turning Stone Brick into Mossy Stone Brick. The Cloud in a Bottle creates a large amount of clouds, and Smashing Rock decays the blocks it hits in a splash area.^[1][3]

Chisel 3 is built around one tool and a handful of settings, so this section covers how the chisel works, what the pack's config does to it, and the few special items around it.^[1]

The chisel

Right-click with the chisel and its GUI opens. Put a block in the middle slot and you can turn it into other blocks of the same type. That is how you reach most of the mod's decorative variants.^[1]

Recipe id: chisel:chisel_iron

The in-pack recipe for the basic Chisel.

In this pack the basic chisel is set up more simply than you might expect. ironChiselHasModes is false, so it has no access to chisel modes. ironChiselCanLeftClick is also false, so it cannot left-click blocks in the world to chisel them.^[7]

Chisels take damage when used, because allowChiselDamage is true. Carving also has a cooldown: carvingCooldownTicks is 4 ticks, which is 0.2 seconds.^[7]

Chisel tiers

You will meet Chisel, Diamond Chisel and Obsidian Chisel. The configs set their durability and damage like this:^[7][8]

• Iron chisel durability: ironChiselMaxDamage is 512, and general.iron_chisel_durability is also 512.^[7][8]
• Iron chisel attack damage: ironChiselAttackDamage is 2.^[7]
• Diamond chisel durability: diamondChiselMaxDamage is 5,056, but general.diamond_chisel_durability says 5,096. The files disagree, so check both if the exact number matters to you.^[7][8]
• Diamond chisel attack damage: diamondChiselAttackDamage is 3.^[7]
• Obsidian chisel durability: general.obsidian_chisel_durability is 10,048.^[8]
• Hitech chisel (iChisel): hitechChiselMaxDamage is 10,048 and hitechChiselAttackDamage is 3.^[7]

The Auto Chisel accepts Forge Energy (FE), since autoChiselPowered is true. It does not need power to work, though, because autoChiselNeedsPower is false in this pack.^[7]

FTB Ultimine

FTB Ultimine integration is on (enableUltimineCompat is true). With ultimineGroupVariants on, using Ultimine with a chisel selects blocks of the same type together.^[7]

Thrown items

Ball O' Moss and Cloud in a Bottle are thrown by right-clicking, just like snowballs. Ball O' Moss mossifies nearby blocks, for example turning Stone Brick into Mossy Stone Brick, and the same with Cobblestone. Cloud in a Bottle creates a large amount of clouds where it lands.^[1]

World generation

Chisel's stone types generate in veins, each with a veinCount of 1 per chunk and a veinSize of 48. Three of the four are enabled:^[7]

• Marble generates between Y 0 and Y 60 (worldgen.marble.minY and worldgen.marble.maxY).^[7]
• Limestone also generates between Y 0 and Y 60 (worldgen.limestone.minY and worldgen.limestone.maxY).^[7]
• Diabase generates between Y -64 and Y 0 (worldgen.diabase.minY and worldgen.diabase.maxY).^[7]
• Basalt generation is turned off in this pack (worldgen.basalt.enabled is false).^[7]

If you would rather not dig for them, Mystical Agriculture has recipes that make 6 Limestone or 6 Marble per craft.^[6]

The mossy stones (Mossy Stone, Mossy Deepslate and Mossy Blackstone) are shapeless crafts. So are the colored lights, such as Black Light, which gives 8 per craft.^[3]

Decorative block sets

Most of the other items are decorative blocks made in batches. Antiblock, Voidstone and Technical Block each give 8 per craft. Kitchen Block and Liminal Block give 16, while Factory Block and Tyrian give 32. The framed glass variants give 8 per craft, in both oak and steel frames.^[3]

Here are the Chisel 3 settings you are most likely to want to check. Every numeric option in the pack's config shows the same value as the mod default, so the pack has not changed any of these numbers. The on/off options below are listed as the pack sets them.^[4][5]

Chisel durability and damage

Chisel tools take damage when used, because allowChiselDamage is true in this pack.^[4]

• Iron chisel: ironChiselMaxDamage is 512 and ironChiselAttackDamage is 2.^[4]
• Diamond chisel: diamondChiselMaxDamage is 5,056 and diamondChiselAttackDamage is 3.^[4]
• Hitech chisel (the iChisel): hitechChiselMaxDamage is 10,048 and hitechChiselAttackDamage is 3.^[4]

There is also a second file, config/chisel_common.toml, with its own durability settings. general.iron_chisel_durability is 512, general.diamond_chisel_durability is 5,096 and general.obsidian_chisel_durability is 10,048. Note that the diamond figure here (5,096) differs from the 5,056 in the other file.^[4][5]

Chisel behaviour

• ironChiselCanLeftClick is false, so the iron chisel cannot left-click chisel blocks in the world.^[4]
• ironChiselHasModes is false, so the iron chisel has no access to chisel modes.^[4]
• carvingCooldownTicks is 4 ticks, which is 0.2 seconds between carving actions.^[4]

Auto chisel

autoChiselPowered is true, so the auto chisel accepts Forge Energy (FE). autoChiselNeedsPower is false, so it does not require power to function.^[4]

World generation

Diabase, limestone and marble generation are all enabled. Basalt generation is disabled via worldgen.basalt.enabled in this pack. Here is how each one is set up.^[4]

• Marble: worldgen.marble.minY is 0 and worldgen.marble.maxY is 60. worldgen.marble.veinCount is 1 and worldgen.marble.veinSize is 48.^[4]
• Limestone: worldgen.limestone.minY is 0 and worldgen.limestone.maxY is 60. worldgen.limestone.veinCount is 1 and worldgen.limestone.veinSize is 48.^[4]
• Diabase: worldgen.diabase.minY is -64 and worldgen.diabase.maxY is 0. worldgen.diabase.veinCount is 1 and worldgen.diabase.veinSize is 48.^[4]
• Basalt, if you turn it on: worldgen.basalt.minY is -64 and worldgen.basalt.maxY is 0. worldgen.basalt.veinCount is 1 and worldgen.basalt.veinSize is 48.^[4]

FTB Ultimine and movement

enableUltimineCompat is true, so the FTB Ultimine integration is on (it needs FTB Ultimine installed). ultimineGroupVariants is also true, so Ultimine selects blocks of the same type together when you use it with a chisel.^[4]

Walking on concrete blocks gives a speed multiplier set by concreteVelocityMult, which is 1.35 in this pack.^[4]

FTB Evolution 2 1.3.1 ships Chisel 3 version 26.1.2.19. The mod has been in the pack since 1.0.2 or earlier, so it is not a recent addition.^[9]

The mod's own changelogs for 26.1.2.19 and 26.1.2.18 don't list any changes. No notes were written for either release, so there is nothing to tell you about what changed between them.^[10][11]

Unverified Whether any pack release changed Chisel 3 behaviour, recipes or config values is unverified: the pack changelogs available here have no entries for this mod.
