Rockhounding

What is it?
For anyone who does not know, the Rockhounding Mod: Chemistry is a mod for Minecraft. It focuses mainly on producing resources from the 'uninspected mineral' which is it's main world-generated block. It is included in a handful of official Minecraft mod packs. There are two fantastic in-game guidebooks which will go into great detail, offer tutorials, and help newcomers understand the mod. It is important that you read the entire manual from start to finish if you wish to fully grasp the entirety of the mod. 
Who is it for?
It can come on as being complex, but once you wrap your head around the basic way the manuals are written, and the basic terms on how to place machines, it will be pretty easy to set up. There is also the on-line documentation offered below (I am not sure how current it is, at least 1.7.10 at the time of this writing). Before diving in, it is recommend knowing at least a little about the basics of modded Minecraft (stuff like machines, energy, pipes, chunk loading, processing, inventory/fluid/gas movement, etc.). If you are a younger person (depending on your skill level), you may need to bring in an adult to help you through the more complicated stuff. That said, it is worth taking a look at, as it has a lot of content to offer.
Where is the WIKI?
When the in-game books are not enough, you can either turn to the many youtube videos, the mod spotlight (recommended for fast start users), or the online wiki below.
