Prospecting

Blast Mining

Explosions for tunnel mining.

Lvl 1: Unlock Gunpowder Barrel recipe
Adds the ingot of exploded ores directly to your inventory

Blast mining is used for tunnel mining with explosives.

To blast mine properly:

• Face a cardinal direction: 0, 90, 180, -90, or -180
• Go below Y 50
• Place TNT
• Light it

If done correctly, more TNT will spawn in that direction and explode a tunnel. The ingots from exploded ores are added directly to your inventory.

Blast mining will not work in claimed chunks with explosions disabled.

You can enable explosions with:

• /plot toggle explosion on a plot basis
• /t toggle explosion on a town basis

True Smithing

Faster smelting.

Lvl 1: Unlock Crucible Furnace

Crucible Furnace

Crucible Furnace-specific requirements

• 1 x Crucible + Tongs per slot (steel, cast iron, slag)
• 1 x Tongs (to pick up cast ingots)
• 1 x Ingot Cast
• 1 x Blast Furnace
• 1 x Clay Block

Important: To use a Crucible Furnace, you need the True Smithing skill from the Miner skill tree.

Guide

The True Smithing skill gives access to the Crucible Furnace.

The main advantage of the Crucible Furnace is that it does not require temperature control like the bloomery does. This makes it a simpler way to produce steel and cast iron ingots. It can also process slag, so slag is no longer just a waste byproduct from the bloomery.

To create and use a Crucible Furnace:

• Place a Blast Furnace on the ground
• Place a Clay Block on top of it
• Right click it with a hammer
• Combine Tongs and Crucibles to make Tongs with Crucibles
• Put raw iron and coal into the Crucible Furnace
• Put the Tongs with Crucibles into any of the Crucible Furnace slots
• Wait until they fill up
• Take out a pair of tongs
• Place an Ingot Cast on the ground
• Right click the tongs onto the Ingot Cast
• Wait for the liquid to solidify
• Pick up the finished ingot with tongs
• Quench the tongs to cool the ingot
• When you want to use the ingot for crafting, reheat it in fire and pick it up again with tongs
