How to Gather Ingot of the Ancients, Rex Teeth and Ancient Dust

The mod's rarest crafting materials are Ingot of the Ancients, Rex Teeth and ancient dust. You'll collect them across the prehistoric dimension, and the mod's excavation gear is built for that kind of work.

Get Your Excavation Gear

The mod adds three specialized excavation tools:

• Chisel
• Locator
• Ancient digging sticks

To craft them:

1. Open your inventory and click the recipe book. Recipes appear as you pick up the materials they need.

2. Search each tool's name to see its exact ingredients.

3. Hover over a finished tool to read its tooltip, then try it on blocks in the dimension to learn what it does.

Search Structures and Their Loot

1. Explore the dimension's custom structures. They use unique loot tables, so their chests can hold things you won't find elsewhere.

2. Open every chest and container you find. Check for the three rare materials above.

3. Bring spare inventory space and a few chests. Store your finds near your entry point so you don't lose them on a death far from home.

Work Efficiently

• Follow the advancement tree (L by default). The mod's advancements guide your progression and hint at what to look for next.
• When you get a new rare material, search for it in the recipe book to see what it unlocks.
• Be careful in the Forest of Fluffy Rex. Collecting rare loot there is risky without good armor.
