How to Find Enderite Ore and Make Enderite Scrap
Locating the Ore
Enderite Ore and Cracked Enderite Ore are the two ore blocks you are looking for. Cracked Enderite Ore is the variant you will most often encounter while mining, and it is the block that feeds your early progression. Mine either ore block with a pickaxe to obtain Enderite Scrap.
Turning Scrap into Ingots
Enderite Scrap is the raw material. To convert it into usable metal, process it in a furnace or blast furnace. The blasting recipe present in the mod handles this conversion, so a blast furnace is the faster route once you have one. The output is Enderite Ingot.
What to Do With Your First Ingots
Enderite Ingot is the base for everything else. Use it to craft the Enderite Upgrade, which is the item you need for smithing transformations. You can also compress ingots into a Block of Enderite for storage, or use them directly in shaped and shapeless crafting recipes.
Mining Tips
Bring a strong pickaxe, plenty of torches, and a way to get back out. Ore blocks are your bottleneck, so mark any vein you find and mine it fully before moving on. Once you have a steady supply of Enderite Scrap, set up a blast furnace near your mining base to keep ingots flowing without long trips home.
