Fusion: Alloys and Advanced Smelting
The Fusion plugin introduces the Fusion Furnace, a specialized machine used to combine two different materials into a powerful alloy using a catalyst.
The Fusion Furnace
The Fusion Furnace has two input slots for ingredients, one slot for a catalyst, and a fuel slot. The quality of the catalyst determines the size of the resulting "chunk" (Small, Medium, or Large), which affects the ingot yield.
Alloy Recipes
| Result | Ingredient A | Ingredient B | Recommended Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Copper Ingot | Tin Ingot | Redstone Dust |
| Steel | Iron Ingot | Coal/Charcoal | Gunpowder |
| Thyrium | Mythril Ingot | Adamantium Ingot | Glowstone Dust |
| Sinisite | Mythril Ingot | Onyx Gem | Blaze Powder / Ghast Tear |
Alloy Properties
- Bronze: Slightly better than Iron in durability and speed.
- Steel: High durability and efficiency, a reliable mid-to-late game material.
- Thyrium: Superior to Adamantium; tools feature a "Zoom" effect when using the Thyrium Bow.
- Sinisite: The ultimate material. Sinisite tools are incredibly fast and durable, and the Sinisite Bow deals massive damage with high knockback.
Netherrocks: Nether Expansion
Netherrocks adds six unique ores to the Nether dimension, each with distinct supernatural properties.
Nether Ores
- Fyrite: A fiery red metal. Fyrite tools auto-smelt ores and set mobs on fire. A full set of Fyrite armor grants complete immunity to fire and lava damage.
- Malachite: A green ore that provides light armor with high enchantability. A full set grants a Jump Boost effect.
- Ashstone: A rare, dark grey ore. Ashstone tools are twice as fast as Diamond but have lower durability. It cannot be made into armor.
- Illumenite: A glowing ore found near Glowstone. Illumenite swords grant the player Night Vision on hit and can blind/slow enemies. Armor provides full fall damage protection.
- Dragonstone: The toughest Nether material. Tools have over 4,000 uses, and armor provides protection exceeding Diamond.
- Argonite: A blue utility ore used primarily for high-durability tools.
Nether Furnaces
Netherrocks adds the Nether Furnace, Nether Smoker, and Nether Blast Furnace. These machines do not use standard fuels like wood or coal. Instead, they require Nether-based fuels: * Netherrack: Smelts 2 items. * Blaze Rods: Smelts 24 items. * Fyrite Ingot: Smelts 80 items. * Fyrite Dust: Smelts 40 items.
Aesthetics and Decoration
The Aesthetics plugin (integrated into the main mods in newer versions) allows players to use their surplus metals for construction.
- Metal Bricks: Highly blast-resistant decorative blocks.
- Bars and Doors: Metal variants of iron bars and wooden doors. Higher-tier materials like Adamantium and Onyx produce doors and bars that are nearly immune to explosions.
- Stairs and Slabs: Available for all brick types to allow for complex architectural designs.
SimpleOres 2: Base Materials
SimpleOres 2 introduces a tiered progression of ores found in the Overworld and the Nether. Each material offers a full set of tools, armor, and decorative blocks.
Ores and Generation
| Ore | Location | Mining Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | Overworld | Stone | Phased out in 1.17+ (uses Vanilla Copper), but tools/armor remain. |
| Tin | Overworld | Stone | Common early-game ore, similar to Copper. |
| Mythril | Overworld | Iron | Mid-tier ore, recognizable by its bright blue color. |
| Adamantium | Overworld | Iron/Diamond | Rare high-tier ore, green in color. |
| Onyx | Nether | Diamond | Extremely rare gem found in the Nether. Drops Onyx Gems directly. |
Tool and Armor Stats
| Material | Durability | Mining Speed | Damage | Protection (Full Set) | Enchantability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | 180 | 4.0 | 4.0 | 8 | 8 |
| Tin | 220 | 4.5 | 4.0 | 8 | 8 |
| Mythril | 800 | 8.0 | 6.0 | 15 | 12 |
| Adamantium | 1150 | 14.0 | 7.0 | 18 | 3 |
| Onyx | 3280 | 10.0 | 9.0 | 22 | 15 |
Special Items
- Copper Bucket: Can carry water but will melt instantly if used to pick up lava.
- Mythril/Onyx Rods: Used in the crafting of high-tier bows.
- Shears: Available for Tin, Adamantium, and Onyx, offering higher durability than iron shears.
Specialized Machinery
The Machines plugin adds specialized upgrades to the standard furnace, crafted using Mythril and Onyx.
Mythril Furnace
Crafted by surrounding a standard furnace with Mythril Ingots. It is twice as fuel-efficient as a regular furnace, meaning one piece of coal will smelt 16 items instead of 8.
Onyx Furnace
Crafted by surrounding a standard furnace with Onyx Gems. While it operates at standard efficiency, it has a 33% chance to double the output of any smelting operation, making it ideal for processing rare ores.
