Equivalent Exchange 3 Transmutation

Transmutation is the core mechanic of the mod. Using an alchemical stone such as the Minium Stone or the Philosopher's Stone, players can convert items into other items of equivalent value. For example, ingots like Gold or Iron can be transmuted into other materials according to their relative worth.

The Minium Stone is the main early transmutation tool and acts as a crafting catalyst: placing it in a crafting grid alongside other items enables special transmutation recipes that turn one resource into another. This gives players a flexible way to trade surplus materials for ones they need.
