How to Get and Use Ruby in Earth2Java

Mining Ruby Ore

Ruby Ore generates in the world and drops Ruby when mined. Use a pickaxe to break Ruby Ore and collect the Ruby item. Ruby is the core material for this mod's decorative and functional blocks, so gather several before you start crafting.

Crafting with Ruby

Combine Ruby into a Ruby Block using a shaped crafting recipe. Ruby Block is a storage and decoration block, so a full block is worth keeping near your base or using as a compact way to hold Ruby. You can also use Ruby in other shaped recipes that call for it.

Building with Ruby Blocks

Place Ruby Block as a building material for red-toned walls, floors, and accents. Because it is a full block, it works in any standard building pattern. If you want to convert Ruby Block back into loose Ruby, use it in a crafting recipe to break it down.

Practical Tips

• Mine Ruby Ore with a pickaxe so it drops Ruby instead of breaking uselessly.
• Store spare Ruby as Ruby Block to save inventory space.
• Keep a stack of Ruby on hand for recipes that need it as an ingredient.
• Ruby Block pairs well with Rainbow Wool and Rainbow Carpet for colorful builds.
