Smelting Aluminum and Crafting Aluminum Blocks
Mine and Smelt
Aluminum Ore is the starting point. Mine it with a pickaxe and bring the raw ore back to your base. Smelt Aluminum Ore in a furnace to produce Aluminium Ingot. The mod registers smelting recipes, so the ore-to-ingot conversion works in any standard furnace. Each smelt yields one Aluminium Ingot.
From Ingot to Block
Combine nine Aluminium Ingot at a crafting table to craft an Aluminum Block. This is a crafting_shaped recipe; arrange the ingots in a full 3x3 grid. Aluminum Block is a compact storage option and a building material in its own right.
Nuggets and Uses
Aluminium Ingot can also be crafted down into Aluminium Nugget for finer recipes. Keep a stack of ingots on hand — they feed into multiple crafting recipes across the mod, including components for weapons and armor.
Tips
- Set up a dedicated furnace array if you are smelting large quantities of Aluminum Ore.
- Store finished Aluminum Block near your crafting station so you can break it back into ingots when needed.
- Aluminum Ore generates underground; bring plenty of torches and a spare pickaxe when mining.
- Use Aluminum Block as a lightweight decorative block in industrial builds.
