Working With Metal, Gem, and Nether Variants

Metal and Gem Blocks

Chipped covers metal and gem blocks with variants such as Ancient Iron Block, Ancient Gold Block, Ancient Diamond Block, Ancient Emerald Block, and Ancient Waxed Copper Block. Copper also has Ancient Waxed Exposed Copper, Ancient Waxed Weathered Copper, and Ancient Waxed Oxidized Copper for each oxidation stage.

Nether and End Blocks

Nether materials have their own sets: Ancient Debris Bricks, Ancient Debris Mini Tiles, Ancient Debris Pillar, Ancient Debris Pillar Top, and Ancient Debris Scales. End-themed blocks include Angry Purpur Block and Angry End Stone. Froglight variants include Ancient Ochre Froglight, Ancient Pearlescent Froglight, Ancient Verdant Froglight, Ad Astra Ochre Froglight, Ad Astra Pearlescent Froglight, and Ad Astra Verdant Froglight.

Conversion Steps

1. Place an Alchemy Bench and keep an Alchemy Book available.

2. Use the base block on the bench — for example a Waxed Copper Block, Ancient Debris, or a Froglight.

3. Cycle until the variant you want appears.

4. Collect and place.

Build Uses

Use Ancient Debris Pillar with Ancient Debris Pillar Top for Nether columns. Ancient Waxed Oxidized Copper suits weathered roofs. Froglight variants make colored light sources for themed rooms.
