carbon to diamond

[fast lantern]

between 100,000-330,000 minecraft days, coal will have a chance to turn to diamonds.
more of a silly mod and not really serious.

It would take ~1666 real life days spent in that single world for that to even have a chance of happening lol

[hybrid basin]

if you got a few shulker boxes of coal ore and placed them all down you could maybe make it happen

[hybrid basin]

Every time a coal ore ticks (a bit less than once a minute), the game has a 1/3,822,222 chance of turning a coal block into a diamond block, equivalent to roughly 220,000 minecraft days on average

The issue is that coal ore doesn't tick. Doing so could be catastrophic for performance due to the amount of ore in the average chunk

[fast lantern]

Yes its really stupid but funny

[hybrid basin]

I specifically enabled random ticking for coal ore

shouldnt be any worse for performance than leaves and grass blocks

[main narwhal]

Ah, I had regular ticks in my head, not random. That would definitely run better

[hybrid basin]

ah lmao

[chilly comet]

itd be a funny april fools esque mod

[harsh flint]

but coal ore isn't renewable 😔

[exotic shoal]

Alternative idea: Coal ore and blocks tick more frequently, but only change if they detect a tall enough column of solid blocks directly above

[exotic shoal]

I think some plant blocks tick unprompted anyways

I assume anything happening here would be random ticks

[hybrid basin]

I... somehow did not consider that

[harsh flint]

simply do the same thing for like moss or something

let it turn into coal when surrounded by stone

after a loooong time

or if you want to stay to vanilla, use bones

iirc skeleton remains can have coal ore in normal stone and diamonds in deepslate between them?
