Project Red Exploration Wiki & Guide

Start by mining the mod's ores — ruby, sapphire, peridot, electrotine, silver, and tin — which spawn in the overworld and deepslate layers. Craft a saw and sickle early, since they unlock the mod's core harvesting and cutting mechanics.

Electrotine ore generates underground like other ores, with a deepslate variant at lower depths. Mine it with a pickaxe and combine the drops into an Electrotine Block for storage or decoration.

The sickle harvests crops and plants in an area instead of one block at a time, making farms much faster to clear. Higher-tier sickles like gold, iron, and diamond cover more blocks per swing.

Saws cut wood and other blocks more efficiently than a standard axe, and they can break multiple blocks in a swing. Gold saws are fast but fragile, so use them for quick jobs rather than heavy clearing.

Craft a backpack in any of the available colors and right-click to open its inventory, which travels with you. Colored backpacks let you organize items by category, and you can place them down as storage blocks.

Backpacks come in a range of preset colors like black, blue, brown, cyan, gray, green, and more. Each color is crafted separately, so pick the color you want when crafting rather than dyeing afterward.

Basalt and its variants — cobblestone, bricks, and walls — are decorative building blocks. They're useful for dark, volcanic-themed builds and can be crafted into walls for detailing.

Mine marble blocks underground, then craft them into marble bricks and marble brick walls for a cleaner, more polished look. Marble is a light-colored decorative stone that pairs well with basalt.

The athame is a ritual-style dagger-like tool added by the mod. It's used for specific harvesting or ceremonial interactions rather than general combat.

Yes, Exploration is designed to complement the other Project Red modules like Core, Integration, and Transmission. Ores and materials from Exploration are used in recipes across the other modules, so install them together for the full experience.
