Ascended Quark Wiki & Guide

Break into the Aether and gather its base materials — skyroot logs, holystone, icestone, and ambrosium — since almost every block and item in this mod is built from those. Once you have a crafting table and some skyroot planks, you can start crafting the vertical slabs, hedges, and other decorative blocks.

Vertical slabs occupy half of a block's side face rather than the top or bottom, letting you build thin walls and columns. Place them against a block face like a normal slab, and they'll orient to that side; you can stack and combine them with regular slabs and stairs for detailed shapes.

Hedges are full-height blocks made from skyroot logs and leaves that act as decorative walls or fences, while leaf carpets are thin, flat layers you place on top of blocks like a carpet. Both come in variants matching the Aether's leaf types, such as crystal, golden oak, and holiday.

Crates are crafted from skyroot planks and store items or mobs in a compact block form. The Blue Berry Crate holds blue berries, and similar crates exist for other Aether materials — right-click to deposit or retrieve contents.
