Getting Started with Aetheric Apex Steel

Getting Started with Aetheric Apex Steel

Travel to the End dimension and search between Y: 10 and Y: 55 for rare ore deposits. You'll need a Netherite Pickaxe to mine these blast-proof blocks and collect raw chunks.

Smelt your raw chunks in a Furnace or Blast Furnace to create refined ingots. Combine four ingots with one Netherite Ingot at a crafting table to make heavy alloy bars—the foundation of endgame gear.

Craft special cores by combining heavy alloy bars, Nether Stars, Eyes of Ender, and Netherite Ingots. Use these cores to assemble a full armor set, or combine them with Blaze Rods to upgrade tools like pickaxes, axes, shovels, and hoes.

The resulting gear sits two tiers above Netherite, offering superior durability and protection for late-game survival.
