Ex Nihilo Progression

Ex Nihilo is a basic sky block companion!
(In continuation to my previous post)

When you break leaves with a crook you can get:
Saplings, apples and silkworms!

Silkworms can either be roasted in a furnace as an early game food source or right clicked on a leaf to infest it.

After a while it will spread to all leaves and when it reaches 100% and it's re-broken string and silkworms will be dropped!
So this far we can make:
Wool, string and a string mesh!

A mesh can be used on a sieve to sift blocks like:
Dirt, gravel, sand and dust!

When sifted they will drop various materials.
Dirt: stone pebbles, various seeds (tree, wheat, melon and carrot)
Gravel: Flint, diamond, and ore pieces
Sand and dust can also be sifted.

Ore pieces can be crafted in a 2x2 into a ore chunk which then be smelted into an ingot!

Water can be acquired from rain water falling into a wooden barrel.
Lava can be made by by putting cobblestone in a stone crucible but requires a heat source to melt!

I will not post any recipes here as you can view them ingame by using JEI as the mod doesn't have a recipe guide.

All mechanics of Ex Nihilo Creatio can be changed by adding CraftTweaker!

So why wait..?
Give it a try!
