Locate and Harvest Cinnabar in Stony Spires

Finding Stony Spires

Stony Spires biomes are tall, rocky terrain formations that generate naturally in the Overworld. The mod adds fresh patches of Cinnabar mineral deposits throughout this biome, making it the primary location for harvesting this resource.

Mining Cinnabar

Bring a pickaxe (iron or better recommended) to extract Cinnabar ore. The mineral appears in visible patches across the rocky landscape, both on the surface and underground. Search the exposed stone faces and cliff sides for the distinctive ore blocks.

Efficiency Tips

• Explore at different elevations—Cinnabar patches generate at various heights
• Mark successful mining sites for future visits
• Use a Fortune-enchanted pickaxe to increase ore drops
• Combine mining with cave exploration, as Stony Spires often contain cave entrances

Uses

Cinnabar is valuable for crafting and smelting recipes. The mod's emphasis on this ore in Stony Spires makes the biome worth visiting regularly. The spiky terrain also provides good visibility for spotting ore deposits from a distance, so scout from high ground before committing to mining.
