How to Make Your First Element Crystal in Elemental Craft
Gather the base materials
Start by crafting an Inert Crystal. You need this before any elemental crystal exists. Place the Inert Crystal into an Element Infuser to begin infusing it with an element.
Infuse with an element
Feed the Element Infuser the matching element using an Element Pipe connected to an Element Container or an Element Reservoir for that element. The four elemental crystals are Air Crystal, Earth Crystal, Fire Crystal, and Water Crystal. Each one requires its own element type flowing into the infuser.
Once the infusion finishes, the Inert Crystal becomes the corresponding elemental crystal. Store finished crystals in an Element Container or convert them into blocks like Air Crystal Block, Earth Crystal Block, Fire Crystal Block, or Water Crystal Block for compact storage.
Scale up production
For finer materials, run elemental crystals through a Gem Crystallizer to produce Fine Air Gem, Fine Earth Gem, Fine Fire Gem, and Fine Water Gem. These fine gems feed higher-tier recipes and shrine upgrades. If you need more throughput, upgrade your pipes to Improved Element Pipe and your extractor to Improved Element Extractor so element flow keeps up with multiple infusers running at once.
