Using Quantum Catchers and Arcane Crystal Blocks
Quantum Catcher Colors
Quantum Catcher items come in sixteen colors: Black Quantum Catcher, Blue Quantum Catcher, Brown Quantum Catcher, Cyan Quantum Catcher, Gray Quantum Catcher, Green Quantum Catcher, Light Blue Quantum Catcher, Light Gray Quantum Catcher, Lime Quantum Catcher, Magenta Quantum Catcher, and the remaining dye colors. Each is a separate item, so pick the color that matches your storage or sorting system.
Arcane Crystal Progression
Arcane Crystal is the base material. Process it into Arcane Crystal Dust for recipes that need a powder form. Combine Arcane Crystal into Arcane Crystal Block for storage or building. Corrupted Arcane Crystal and Corrupted Arcane Crystal Block are the corrupted variants — keep them separate from your clean stock so you do not accidentally use the wrong one in a recipe.
Crafting with Dusts
Arcane Crystal Dust and Corrupti Dust are both used as inputs in shaped and shapeless recipes. Mundabitur Dust is a separate dust with its own uses. Check the recipe you are following to see which dust it expects — they are not interchangeable.
Building with Arcane Blocks
Arcane Polished Darkstone and its variants — Arcane Polished Darkstone Pillar, Arcane Polished Darkstone Slab, Arcane Polished Darkstone Stairs, Arcane Polished Darkstone Wall — are crafted from Arcane Crystal Block combined with Polished Darkstone. Chiseled Arcane Polished Darkstone and Gilded Chiseled Polished Darkstone are decorative upgrades. Use stonecutting on Arcane Polished Darkstone to get slabs, stairs, and walls without consuming extra crystal.
