Getting Started with Things

To begin your journey with the Things mod, you must first obtain the Things Almanac. This book contains all the information regarding crafting recipes, item effects, and mechanics.

The Things Almanac

Players typically receive the Almanac upon first joining a world. If lost, it can be crafted by Right-Clicking Gleaming Ore with a regular Book. The Almanac uses the Lavender (or Patchouli in older versions) documentation system to provide a clean, interactive interface for all mod content.

Gleaming Ore

Gleaming Ore is the foundational resource of the mod. It is found in the Overworld, specifically at the transition layer where Stone meets Deepslate (typically between Y-levels -15 and 15).

• Mining Requirement: Diamond Pickaxe or higher.
• Drops: 1-2 Gleaming Powder (affected by Fortune).
• Appearance: The ore emits a faint, magical glow, making it easier to spot in dark caves.
