# Blackstone Cobble 🔀

#### 🧠 How It Works

In vanilla Minecraft:

* Many key recipes (like furnaces, pistons, droppers, brewing stands, stone tools, etc.) require **cobblestone**.
* **Blackstone** resembles cobblestone but **can’t be used in most of these recipes**.

With this datapack installed:

* All recipes that normally accept **cobblestone** can now also accept **Blackstone**.
* This includes:
  * 🔨 Stone tools (pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, sword)
  * 🔥 Furnace
  * 🎯 Dispenser / Dropper
  * 🧪 Brewing Stand
  * ⚙️ Piston
  * 🪨 Stone Pressure Plate

You can simply replace cobblestone with Blackstone in your crafting grid — no changes to recipe shapes or outputs.
