World Transmutation

World Transmutation

Applies to Equivalent Legacy 1.1.0+ for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge).

World transmutation is the Philosopher's Stone's signature trick: point at a block and right-click to turn it into another block, without spending any EMC.

Many vanilla blocks have a default transformation. A few examples:

• Stone becomes cobblestone, and cobblestone becomes stone.
• Grass, dirt, sand and sandstone cycle into one another.
• Gravel becomes sandstone.
• Ice becomes water, and obsidian becomes lava (and back again).
• Netherrack, crimson nylium and warped nylium cycle together.

Alternate results: hold Sneak while right-clicking to get a different result when the block has one. For example, stone's normal result is cobblestone, but sneaking turns it into grass instead.

Transmuting fluids: sneaking also lets the Stone target source fluids. Right-click a water or lava source to convert it (for example, water source to ice, or obsidian to lava).

Area and modes: press G to switch between Cube, Panel and Line, and V to raise the charge. The higher the charge, the more blocks change at once.

You can browse every possible transformation in JEI or EMI under the World Transmutation category.

Server settings: an admin can disable world transmutation with balance.philosophersStone.worldTransmute (the crafting grid keeps working).
