AllTheOres guide for All the Mods 10: To the Sky 1.0 to 1.0.2

This pack includes AllTheOres 3.1.7, the NeoForge 1.21.1 build. The sources I have don't include a description of the mod or its guidebook, so this overview sticks to what the pack's quest book shows: AllTheOres supplies a lot of the metals and materials that other mods' quests ask you to hand in.^[1]

In practice, that means you will run into its items in almost every tech chapter. If you're following the quest book, you'll want to know what to expect and where.^[1][2][3][4]

Where it shows up in the quest book

• Starting out: one early quest, a quest in "?", asks for the Copper Ore Hammer.^[5]
• Steam Age: you hand in a Bronze Ingot and a Steel Ingot.^[6]
• Immersive Engineering: this chapter asks for Electrum Ingot, Bronze Ingot, Constantan Ingot, Brass Ingot, Invar Ingot and Steel Ingot. It also asks for Steel Block for multiblock builds, and for rods such as Steel Rod, Iron Rod and Aluminum Rod.^[2]
• The Electric Age: you need Steel Ingot, Ruby Dust, Aluminum Dust and Aluminum Ingot. A later chapter, Rust Free and Oiled, asks for aluminum ingots again.^[3][7]
• Mekanism: the chapter asks for Osmium Ingot, Steel Ingot and Sulfur. The Mekanism reactors chapter asks for sulfur and Fluorite.^[4][8]
• Age of Oil: you hand in Platinum Dust and Platinum Ingot.^[9]
• Power chapters: Basic Power and Extreme Reactors ask for Uranium Ingot, and one Extreme Reactors quest wants 4 of them.^[10][11]
• Other mods: Occultism asks for a Silver Ingot, and Oritech asks for 4 Nickel Ingot.^[12][13]

Unverified The sources don't show AllTheOres on the ATM Star quest path, and they don't cover how its ores generate or how its materials are processed, so I can't confirm either here.

AllTheOres adds a big family of metals, dusts and alloys, and the pack's quest book nudges you into it right at the start. The very first AllTheOres item it asks for is the Copper Ore Hammer in the starting-out chapter, so that's where we begin.^[5][14]

Step 1: Craft a hammer

The hammer is the entry ticket to AllTheOres crafting. This quest is a quest in "?", and the recipe below is the one the pack uses.^[5][14]

Step 2: Use it for dust and rods

Once you have a hammer, any hammer from the ore hammers tag works in the hammer recipes. You can turn aluminum ore or an aluminum ingot into Aluminum Dust, and you can craft an Aluminum Rod from an aluminum ingot.^[14]

Aluminum dust and aluminum ingots both show up as quest tasks later, in the electric age chapter, so this is worth learning early.^[3]

Step 3: Make bronze, then steel

Bronze Ingot is the first alloy the quests ask for, and its steam age quest a quest in "?" has no prerequisite. The pack changed the alloy recipes for this mod, including the Immersive Engineering alloy smelter version below.^[6][14]

Bronze IngotChanged by the pack

Alloy (immersiveengineering)

• any copper ingot
• any tin ingot

Recipe id: alltheores:alloysmelter/bronze/ingot

Next comes Steel Ingot. You'll want plenty of it, because it's a quest task in the steam age, electric age, Mekanism and Immersive Engineering chapters. The pack changed this recipe too.^{[2][3][4][6][14]}

Steel IngotChanged by the pack

Alloy (immersiveengineering)

• any iron ingot
• any coal

Recipe id: alltheores:alloysmelter/steel/ingot

The steam age steel quest is a quest in "?", and it unlocks after two earlier quests. The Immersive Engineering chapter also has quests for Electrum Ingot, Constantan Ingot, Invar Ingot and Brass Ingot.^[2][6]

Step 4: Get sulfur and fluorite from the sieve

Sulfur and Fluorite are needed for the Mekanism quest lines. The pack adds sieve recipes for both from Ex Deorum, and each mesh tier from iron up to netherite has its own version. Here are the iron mesh ones.^[4][8][14]

SulfurAdded by the pack

Sieve (exdeorum)

• Dust
• Iron Mesh

FluoriteAdded by the pack

Sieve (exdeorum)

• Iron Mesh
• Sand

Recipe id: allthemods:exdeorum/iron_mesh/sand/fluorite

Sulfur is a task in a quest in "?" and a quest in "?", and fluorite appears in a quest in "?".^[4][8]

Unverified Whether AllTheOres ores also generate in the world in this pack, and at which depths, is not confirmed by the available sources.

Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide

Here's the honest picture for this section: the sources I have for AllTheOres don't describe any machines, multiblocks, power systems or automation. What they do confirm is where the ores generate, the slurry chemicals the mod adds, and how the pack handles the mod's storage blocks. That's what this section covers.^[15][16]

Ore depth ranges

Every ore block in the mod has a tooltip that tells you its height range in the world. The stone, deepslate, Nether, End and "other" variants of an ore all show the same range. Every range starts at Y -64 and only the upper limit changes.^[15]

• Aluminum: up to Y 320. Sapphire: up to Y 296.^[15]
• Cinnabar, fluorite, ruby and salt: up to Y 228.^[15]
• Peridot and tin: up to Y 196. Zinc: up to Y 126.^[15]
• Lead, nickel, osmium and silver: up to Y 56.^[15]
• Platinum: up to Y 36. Iridium: up to Y 32.^[15]
• Sulfur: up to Y 25. Uranium: up to Y 16, the lowest ceiling of all.^[15]

Slurries

The mod registers dirty and clean slurry chemicals for aluminum, iridium, platinum and uranium. That gives you Dirty and Clean Aluminum Slurry, Dirty and Clean Iridium Slurry, Dirty and Clean Platinum Slurry, and Dirty and Clean Uranium Slurry.^[15]

Blocks and the pack's changes

The mod has storage blocks for metals, alloys and gems, such as Bronze Block, Invar Block, Electrum Block and Ruby Block. It also has raw ore blocks such as Raw Osmium Block and Raw Uranium Block.^[16]

The pack has changed the recipes that produce these blocks. They are shapeless crafting recipes that turn a compressed 1x block back into the matching AllTheOres block, and they exist for both finished blocks and raw ore blocks. Here is one example.^[16]

9× Aluminum BlockChanged by the pack

Crafting Shapeless

• Aluminum Block 1x

Recipe id: allthecompressed:decompress/aluminum_block_1x

Changed by the pack. The other metal, gem and raw blocks follow the same pattern.

Unverified I don't have an official tier list or an in-jar guide for AllTheOres in this pack. The order below is my suggested path, built from the quests that ask for its items and from the in-pack recipes.

AllTheOres doesn't get a quest chapter of its own in what I can see. Its items turn up as tasks across many chapters, such as Chapter 1, Steam Age, Immersive Engineering, Mekanism, Age of Oil and the reactor chapters. So you progress through it by following those chapters.^{[2][3][4][5][6][8][9][11]}

Tier 1: the hammer and your first dusts

The first thing the quests ask of you is the Copper Ore Hammer, in the Chapter 1 quest a quest in "?". Here is how it's crafted:^[5][14]

Any ore hammer works for the hammer recipes. A hammer plus an ore, raw material or ingot gives you dust. For example, you can turn an aluminum ore into Aluminum Dust, or a ruby gem into Ruby Dust.^[14]

2× Aluminum DustMod recipe

• any ruby gem

Recipe id: alltheores:crafting/hammer/ruby/dust_from_gem

Tier 2: alloys (bronze, steel and friends)

The Steam Age chapter asks for Bronze Ingot first, then Steel Ingot. The Immersive Engineering chapter has a quest for each alloy: bronze (a quest in "?"), brass (a quest in "?"), constantan (a quest in "?"), electrum (a quest in "?"), invar (a quest in "?") and steel (a quest in "?").^[2][6]

The pack changes the alloy recipes for these ingots. The Immersive Engineering alloy smelter and arc furnace versions are pack-changed, and so are the Ender IO alloy smelting versions. Here are the alloy smelter recipes for steel and bronze:^[14]

Steel IngotChanged by the pack

Alloy (immersiveengineering)

• any iron ingot
• any coal

Recipe id: alltheores:alloysmelter/steel/ingot

Bronze IngotChanged by the pack

Alloy (immersiveengineering)

• any copper ingot
• any tin ingot

Recipe id: alltheores:alloysmelter/bronze/ingot

Constantan Ingot, Electrum Ingot and Invar Ingot have alloy smelter recipes too. Brass Ingot has an arc furnace recipe and an Ender IO alloy smelting recipe.^[14]

Steel as a building material

Steel is the ingot the quests ask for most. The Steam Age, Electric Age, Mekanism and Immersive Engineering chapters all have steel ingot quests. The two big Immersive Engineering build quests also ask for Steel Block items, with 9 in one and 6 in the other.^[2][3][4][6]

In this pack the steel block comes from a pack-changed decompress recipe, and rods are made with a hammer.^[14]

Rods can come in handy for quest a quest in "?", which accepts Steel Rod, Iron Rod or Aluminum Rod among other options.^[2]

Tier 3: aluminum

The Electric Age chain goes ruby dust, then aluminum dust, then Aluminum Ingot (a quest in "?", a quest in "?", a quest in "?"). The Rust Free and Oiled chapter asks for another aluminum ingot afterwards.^[3][7]

Besides the hammer, the pack's Immersive Engineering crusher turns aluminum ore into aluminum dust plus Zinc Dust.^[14]

Aluminum Dust, Zinc DustChanged by the pack

Crusher (immersiveengineering)

• any aluminum ore

Recipe id: alltheores:crusher/aluminum/from_ore

Sulfur and fluorite for Mekanism

The Mekanism chapters ask for Sulfur alongside machines like the chemical oxidizer. The reactor chapter also asks for Fluorite. You also need Osmium Ingot in the Mekanism chapter.^[4][8]

The pack adds Ex Deorum sieve recipes for both. Sulfur comes from sieving dust, and fluorite from sieving sand. Iron, golden, diamond and netherite meshes all have a recipe for each. Here are the iron mesh ones:^[14]

SulfurAdded by the pack

Sieve (exdeorum)

• Dust

If you have a hammer, fluorite also comes from fluorite ore, and the crusher does the same.^[14]

2× FluoriteMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• any ore hammer
• any fluorite ore

Recipe id: alltheores:crafting/hammer/fluorite/gem_from_ore

Platinum, nickel and uranium

Age of Oil asks for Platinum Dust and then Platinum Ingot (a quest in "?", a quest in "?"). The pack's crusher gives platinum dust from nickel ore as well, alongside Nickel Dust. Platinum ore gives Gold Dust and platinum dust.^[9][14]

Nickel Dust, Platinum DustChanged by the pack

Crusher (immersiveengineering)

Uranium Ingot shows up in Basic Power and in the Extreme Reactors chapter, which has a quest for 4 of them. Oritech wants 4 Nickel Ingot. Occultism asks for a Silver Ingot.^{[10][11][12][13]}

One Immersive Engineering quest (a quest in "?") accepts a lava bucket, a magma block or an Uranium Block. In this pack the uranium block comes from a pack-changed decompress recipe.^[2][14]

9× Uranium BlockChanged by the pack

Crafting Shapeless

• Uranium Block 1x

Recipe id: allthecompressed:decompress/uranium_block_1x

AllTheOres supplies the metals, gems and alloys that other mods in this pack ask for. The links below come straight from the pack's recipes and quests. Many of the recipes were added or changed by the pack, so they can differ from what you may know from the mod's defaults.^[14]

Ex Deorum: sieving and ore chunks

The pack adds Ex Deorum sieve recipes that give you AllTheOres materials. Salt and Sulfur both come from sieving Dust, and Fluorite comes from sieving Sand. Each of these works with the Iron, Golden, Diamond and Netherite meshes.^[14]

SaltAdded by the pack

Sieve (exdeorum)

• Dust
• Iron Mesh

Recipe id: allthemods:exdeorum/iron_mesh/dust/salt

Salt from dust with the iron mesh. The other meshes have matching recipes added by the pack.

FluoriteAdded by the pack

Sieve (exdeorum)

• Iron Mesh
• Sand

Recipe id: allthemods:exdeorum/iron_mesh/sand/fluorite

Fluorite from sand with the iron mesh, also added by the pack.

The pack also adds Functional Storage compacting recipes that pair each Ex Deorum ore chunk with its AllTheOres ore. They cover aluminum, lead, nickel, osmium, platinum, silver, tin, uranium and zinc, for example Tin Ore Chunk with Tin Ore. The recipe dump lists these entries without an output, so the exact result is not shown in the sources here.^[14]

Mekanism: ore processing

The pack changed AllTheOres' Mekanism processing recipes. In the part of the recipe dump available, they work like this:^[14]

• Purifying with Liquid Oxygen turns ores, raw materials, raw blocks or shards into clumps. The dump shows aluminum, iridium and nickel.^[14]
• Injecting with Liquid Hydrogen Chloride turns ores, raw materials, raw blocks or crystals into shards. The dump shows aluminum, iridium and nickel.^[14]
• Dissolution with Liquid Sulfuric Acid turns ores, raw materials or raw blocks into dirty slurry. The dump shows aluminum, copper, gold, iridium, iron and lead.^[14]

The dump stops partway through the nickel recipes, so what other metals get here is not confirmed. Quests also tie Sulfur to the Mekanism machines, such as the chemical oxidizer, electrolytic separator and chemical infuser (a quest in "?", a quest in "?"). Fluorite appears in a quest alongside the chemical dissolution chamber (a quest in "?"). Other Mekanism quests ask for Osmium Ingot and Steel Ingot (a quest in "?", a quest in "?").^[4][8][14]

AllTheCompressed: storage blocks

The pack changed the AllTheCompressed recipes that turn compressed blocks back into AllTheOres blocks. For example, Steel Block 1x decompresses into Steel Block. Raw blocks, gem blocks and alloy blocks are covered the same way. The dump shows one compression recipe, for the salt block.^[14]

Salt Block 1xChanged by the pack

9 × Salt Block

Recipe id: allthecompressed:compress/salt_block_1x

Immersive Engineering

Immersive Engineering's quest chapter asks for several AllTheOres alloys: Electrum Ingot, Steel Ingot, Bronze Ingot, Constantan Ingot, Brass Ingot and Invar Ingot. Its multiblock quests also want Steel Block: 9 in a quest in "?" and 6 in a quest in "?". a quest in "?" accepts Steel Rod, Iron Rod or Aluminum Rod. a quest in "?" accepts a lava bucket, a magma block or Uranium Block.^[2]

Other quest chapters

• Steam Age asks for Bronze Ingot and Steel Ingot (a quest in "?", a quest in "?").^[6]
• The Electric Age asks for Steel Ingot, Ruby Dust, Aluminum Dust and Aluminum Ingot.^[3]
• Age of Oil asks for Platinum Dust and Platinum Ingot.^[9]
• Basic Power and Extreme Reactors ask for Uranium Ingot, with the quest a quest in "?" needing 4.^[10][11]
• Occultism's binding quest wants Silver Ingot together with iron, gold and copper ingots (a quest in "?").^[12]
• Oritech asks for 4 Nickel Ingot (a quest in "?").^[13]
• Rust Free and Oiled asks for Aluminum Ingot (a quest in "?").^[7]
• The starting-out chapter asks for the Copper Ore Hammer (a quest in "?").^[5]

AllTheOres shows up in a lot of quest chapters in this pack, where its items are among the things you are asked to hand in. The quests in these chapter files have no titles, so I refer to them by ID. Order below is based on each quest's prerequisites. The sources don't say how the chapters themselves are ordered.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]}

Early game: starting out, Steam Age and basic power

• Starting Out: quest a quest in "?" asks for a Copper Ore Hammer and unlocks after another quest in that chapter.^[5]
• Steam Age: quest a quest in "?" asks for a Bronze Ingot and has no prerequisite. Quest a quest in "?" asks for a Steel Ingot and has more than one prerequisite.^[6]
• Basic Power: quest a quest in "?" asks for a Uranium Ingot after an earlier quest.^[10]

The Electric Age

This chapter has a short chain of dust and ingot quests. Quest a quest in "?" asks for Ruby Dust. It leads to a quest in "?" for Aluminum Dust, then to a quest in "?" for an Aluminum Ingot. That last quest also needs another quest finished.^[3]

The chapter also asks for steel twice. Quest a quest in "?" wants a Steel Ingot and follows the Steam Age steel quest a quest in "?". Quest a quest in "?" asks for another steel ingot after a different quest.^[3][6]

The aluminum chain continues into Rust Free and Oiled. Quest a quest in "?" asks for another Aluminum Ingot and unlocks after a quest in "?".^[3][7]

Immersive Engineering

This chapter has the most AllTheOres quests. Five alloy ingot quests each unlock after the same earlier quest, so you can do them in any order once it's done:^[2]

• a quest in "?" asks for a Bronze Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "?" asks for an Electrum Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "?" asks for a Constantan Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "?" asks for a Brass Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "?" asks for an Invar Ingot.^[2]

Quest a quest in "?" asks for a Steel Ingot and needs two earlier quests, one of which is the same one the alloy quests wait on. Quest a quest in "?" accepts any one of a Steel Rod, Iron Rod, Aluminum Rod, a graphite electrode or a sawblade. Quest a quest in "?" accepts a lava bucket, a magma block or a Uranium Block.^[2]

The two big multiblock quests, a quest in "?" and a quest in "?", are the heaviest. They each ask for a long list of Immersive Engineering blocks plus Steel Block (6 in the first, 9 in the second). Both unlock after several earlier quests.^[2]

Mekanism and Mekanism reactors

• Mekanism: a quest in "?" asks for an Osmium Ingot and a quest in "?" asks for a Steel Ingot. Each needs one earlier quest.^[4]
• Mekanism: a quest in "?" asks for Sulfur and unlocks only after five earlier quests. a quest in "?" asks for sulfur plus the Chemical Oxidizer, Electric Pump, Electrolytic Separator, Chemical Infuser and Rotary Condensentrator.^[4]
• Mekanism reactors: a quest in "?" has no prerequisite. It asks for Sulfur plus the chemical oxidizer, electrolytic separator and chemical infuser. It leads to a quest in "?", which asks for the rotary condensentrator, chemical infuser, chemical dissolution chamber and Fluorite.^[8]

Oil, reactors and other chapters

• Age of Oil: a quest in "?" asks for Platinum Dust and a quest in "?" asks for a Platinum Ingot. Each follows its own earlier quest.^[9]
• Extreme Reactors: a quest in "?" asks for a Uranium Ingot and has no prerequisite. a quest in "?" asks for 4 uranium ingots after another quest.^[11]
• Occultism: a quest in "?" asks for a bound foliot book of binding plus iron, gold and copper ingots and an Silver Ingot. It unlocks after four earlier quests.^[12]
• Oritech: a quest in "?" asks for 4 Nickel Ingot and has no prerequisite.^[13]
