Infernal Curiosities Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I find a Nether fortress quickly?
Craft and place blaze torches on netherrack—they emit particles that point directly toward the nearest Nether fortress, making exploration much faster than wandering blindly.
What's the best way to get leather in the Nether?
Craft rotten flesh blocks from rotten flesh, then place them above a soul campfire to ferment them into leather over time—this is the mod's main leather production method.
Can I cross lava lakes without taking damage?
Yes, craft basalt skis and use them to glide across lava pools safely; you can also use basalt oars to help with traversal, and natural or adjustable geysers will prevent fall damage when you land.
Where do I find magnetite and what do I do with it?
Magnetite spawns naturally in basalt deltas; when it heats up near lava, it becomes smoldering magnetite, which you can smelt to yield iron slag for crafting.
How does blaze fire work and why is it useful?
Blaze fire is temporary tactical flame that damages mobs and players but won't burn wooden blocks or destroy dropped items, making it safe to use near structures or for item collection.
What are blaze lanterns and how do I use them?
Blaze lanterns are throwable items that scatter temporary blaze fire in a small area when they hit the ground, giving you a ranged way to set controlled fires.
Can I control geyser launch power with redstone?
Yes, craft adjustable geysers and use redstone signals to control how high they launch you—natural geysers launch at a fixed power but adjustable ones give you precise control.
What do spectreglass and soul knives do?
These items reveal invisible mobs that are hiding behind surfaces, helping you detect threats that would otherwise stay concealed in the Nether.
How do I make blaze dust and what's it for?
Craft blaze dust from blaze powder, then use it to set linked chain-reaction fires on the ground for tactical combat or exploration purposes.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is designed to be lightweight, but you can adjust the `blazeEntityFire` and `skeletonEyes` configuration options if you experience performance problems with custom textures or particle effects.
