Q: Can this Steve craft anything from any mod? Because it may be funny to see Red Matter. Or if Steve figures out an EMC exploit, like the thing with the Blaze Rods and Blaze Powder.

A: Pretty much. He gained all the crafting recipes he lacked when he entered Gensokyo via tunneling in from the bottom. Problem is, he doesn't have all of the materials he would need to build anything he wants whenever he wants to build it. Some stuff he needs to to create other things with literally doesn't exist. This drives him up the wall.

Comment: According to LiamOfOrmonde stated above, his Steve is allowed to craft literally anything including all Minecraft mods however he doesn't have materials to craft them since they don't exist in Gensokyo.

(Steve POV)

It took a few days of non-stop talking, but eventually Zuno told me everything she knew about Gensokyo. Which was a lot. A lot of nonsense I mean. The levels of conceptual bullshit that the inhabitants of this land seem to be able to do with their powers left me a little shell shocked. Sure I could build machines that would leave these people powerless, but in doing so I would break these Spell Card rules which I don't want to do. Apparently once you break them, everyone will try to kill you immediately.

I like life so all of my plans to counteract my possible opponents who will oppose the activation if The Machine will have to be within the Spell Card rules. Like finding it making people who can defeat others with danmaku easily. I shoved enough magic into Ash and Zuno where they could probably… well possibly stand a chance. But I need more. Much more.

Zuno talked about what Reimu, that Shrine Maiden, could do. Her power was floating, and if she felt like it she could just use her powers to conceptually float above any projectiles. That men she'd win any round of Danmaku.

I couldn't have that happen to me. So I guess the only reasonable option would be making somebody with an even more bullshit power to defeat her.

Alone in my workshop I used glass and blood to make a scrying device. Then a piercing spear of stone and bone followed it. The scrying device would help me find what I was looking for, and the spear would allow me to retrieve what I want no matter where it was. The spear would break afterwards, but it would be worth it. I would be able to retrieve something from the depths of hell, the heights of heaven, and anyplace in the Outside World with the Gap Yokai none the wiser.

I cracked my neck to the side to relive the building pressure and looked beyond the beyond. I went through almost all of everything that is and a majority of things that aren't before I found it. A curse in Japan, pra right outside the barrier.

I've never seen a curse so perfectly suited for what I needed before. The curse was 'Cursed To Lose At Games'. Since Danmaku was technically a game, it was a devastating curse!

The curse resided in a statue at the bottom of the Dōtonbori river. Some American military ghost appeared to be using it to curse the living hell out of a local baseball team in revenge for baseball fans throwing his statue into the river.

But my need is greater than this old Colonel guy!

I stood up and grabbed the Piercing Spear from where it lay on the floor. I took one deep breath to help my concentration, but that was all I needed. I thrusted my spear into the warm space in front of me.

All the way across the room I heard Zuno yell, "Something somewhere is lewd and I must find it!" followed by the sound of her running towards me.

The space in front of me tore like paper before sealing itself and a corroded statue giving off a malicious deep fried aura landed on the floor in front of me. Normal people wouldn't be able to sense it, but my eyes saw everything. To my eyes, the curse living in the statute was an oily misma trying to seep into everything around it.

With utmost haste I used some calipers tipped in gems to pull the curse out. It hissed and steamed at the open air.

From a certain perspective, life is a game. That means this curse is deadly.

There was a glass orb I had nearby just for this purpose. The curse was placed inside and I flipped the lid, sealing it inside. I sighed in relief when it was closed. I didn't want the curse getting out and causing havoc inside the workshop.

I held up the glass orb and examined the curse swirling inside. "Perfect! This is just what I needed. Now I just need to turn this into a magical girl like every other powerful being in Gensokyo."

"Did you just say magical girl?" Zuno said hastily right beside me. Her voice carried a low tone that I was unfamiliar with that made me vaguely uncomfortable so I edged away from her. She was breathing heavily, even though she didn't need to breath at all. She also had a heavy blush on her face, which bewildered me because she didn't have any real blood left.

"Why do you ask?"

She smiled, showing off all of her teeth. Well, all the teeth she had left. I removed a tooth on her bottom jaw in the front that was damaged and hadn't told her. "I love magical girls." Zuno said. I literally heard the underline in the word 'love'.

"Well… I'm going to use this stuff to make one." I say, holding up the curse inside the glass orb.

Zuno reaches out to grab it and I overreacted. I used my other hand and broke her arm.

It dangled there in the air and Zuno was looking at it with a gobsmacked expression. She looked to me, then back to her arm. "Sorry. I'll fix that later… By later I mean now."

I retwisted her arm, and pushed some reinforcement in her bones. This repaired it and gave her use of her arm back. I felt a bit bad about breaking her arm, even if she couldn't feel pain. So I'd decided to explain why I had overreacted.

"This orb contains a curse that could cause havoc and destroy everything I've built so far. I'm sorry."

She laughed nervously, apologized while bowing, and then walked away.

I shrugged and carefully placed the orb on a metal pedestal out of sight from anyone entering the workshop. Then I lit a fire under it with a branch of pine wood.

It would take a few weeks but soon the curse would be nice and calm. Then when it wasn't so volatile I could mould it into something living.

A being to defeat everyone in Gensokyo.
