How to Get Enderite Ingots from Enderite Ore
Mining and Processing
Enderite Ore and Cracked Enderite Ore are the two ore blocks you will find. Mine either one to obtain Enderite Scrap. Take that Enderite Scrap and process it in a furnace or blast furnace — the blasting recipe turns Enderite Scrap into Enderite Ingot. Blasting is the faster route, so keep a blast furnace near your mining operation if you plan to gather a lot.
Once you have Enderite Ingot, you can compact it into a Block of Enderite using a shaped crafting recipe, and break the block back down when you need loose ingots.
What the Ingots Are For
Enderite Ingot is the base material for the entire gear set. It feeds into smithing recipes through Enderite Upgrade, which is the item that converts your existing equipment into Enderite versions. The full list of Enderite gear you can build toward includes Enderite Sword, Enderite Pickaxe, Enderite Axe, Enderite Shovel, Enderite Hoe, Enderite Spear, Enderite Bow, Enderite Crossbow, Enderite Shield, Enderite Shears, Enderite Helmet, Enderite Chestplate, Enderite Leggings, Enderite Boots, Enderite Elytra, Enderite Elytra Chestplate, Enderite Horse Armor, and Enderite Nautilus Armor.
Enderite Ingot also builds the Enderite Respawn Anchor and the Enderite Shulker Box. Stockpile ingots before you start crafting gear, because each piece consumes them.
