Steamcraft Mod — Guide

Materials and Alloys

Beyond raw ores, players must craft specialized alloys and refined crystals to build advanced technology.

• Brass Ingot: Crafted by smelting Purified Copper with Zinc (or found in loot). It is the foundational metal for steampunk machinery and goggles.
• Cast Iron Ingot: A reinforced form of iron used for heavy-duty railings, gates, and machine frames.
• Etherium Crystal: Obtained from Volucite Ore. These crystals are the pinnacle of the mod's material tier, used for indestructible blocks and top-tier tools.
• Obsidian Slate: Created by processing Obsidian. It serves as a durable material for mid-to-high tier tools and armor.
• Uranium Pellet: Refined Uranium used specifically as fuel for the Nuclear Reactor.

Agriculture: The Tea System

Tea is a central mechanic for health and hunger management in Steamcraft.

1. Cultivation: Break tall grass to find Tea Seeds. Plant them on tilled soil to grow Tea Plants.
2. Harvesting: Once fully grown, harvest the plants to obtain Tea Leaves.
3. Drying: Smelt Tea Leaves in any furnace to produce dried leaves.
4. Brewing: * Craft an Empty Kettle (Iron Ingots in a 'U' shape with a lid). * Fill the Kettle with water and add Tea Leaves to get a Kettle of Cold Tea. * Smelt the Kettle in a furnace to get a Kettle of Tea (Hot).
5. Consumption: Pour the hot tea into a Teacup (crafted from Clay). Drinking tea restores health and provides a brief regeneration buff.
