What is Apotheosis?
3 parts
Apotheosis is the RPG-style loot and progression mod in the pack. This pack includes version 8.4.0. The part covered here is the Adventure Module, which lets you gear up with procedurally generated loot items that have powerful bonuses. The catch is that new foes show up too.[1][2]
The full Apotheosis experience is split into modules. Apothic Attributes adds new attributes and potion effects, Apothic Spawners lets you pick up and modify mob spawners, and Apothic Enchanting overhauls enchanting. The Adventure Module adds Affixes, Gems and World Tiers.[3]
What you'll be doing
The main feature is Affixes, which strengthen any item you find, whether it's from vanilla or another mod. Every affix item has a Rarity that controls which affixes it gets and how strong they are. Some affix items also have Sockets, and each socket holds a Gem for extra bonuses. You find affix items and gems in loot chests and from mobs.[3][4][5]
You can break affix items down in the Salvaging Table to get Rarity Materials. Those materials, along with Gem Dust, let you reforge items with brand new affixes.[3][6][7]
World Tiers scale the challenge. There are five: Haven, Frontier, Ascent, Summit and Pinnacle. Open the selection screen with the default hotkey CTRL+T. Higher tiers give you better loot, but they also make every enemy in your world stronger. Summit is only available after you slay the Wither.[3][8]
Who it's for
This mod is for you if you want RPG-like gear progression without it taking over the game. It is also for you if you like chasing better loot while the world pushes back. At the very end of the road there's the Augmenting Table, an end-game station for upgrading or rerolling single affixes on an item.[3][9]
Where it fits in the pack
The pack's questbook introduces Apotheosis in Chapter 2: The Cool Parts, right after the Apotheosis Adventure quest. The chain goes in this order:[10]
- "Gem Dust" quest: crush an Apotheosis Gem under a falling anvil to get Gem Dust, which many recipes need, including the Salvaging Table.[10]
- a quest in "Chapter 2: The Cool Parts": get the Salvaging Table. It turns gems into Gem Dust and affix items into matching Rarity Shards. The quest says you need Luminous Crystal Shards, which come from salvaging Rare affixed items.[10]
- "Diamond Upgrade Template" quest: craft the Smithing Template. Apotheosis adds upgrade templates from stone to diamond, and they let you keep enchants and affixes on an item while upgrading it.[10]
Unverified The sources I was given don't show how this mod connects to the ATM Star path, so treat any link there as unconfirmed.
How do you get started with Apotheosis?
2 parts
Apotheosis is all about Affix Items, gear with bonuses, and Apothic Gems you can socket into them. You find both as loot: affix items turn up in chests and drop from random mobs, and gems show up in chest loot and rarely from mobs. The first few crafts below turn that loot into a steady supply of materials.[3][4][11]
If you want a reference while you play, the mod has an in-game guidebook called the Chronicle of Shadows, and JEI shows the exact recipes and costs in this pack.[3][12]
Your first steps, in order
- Find your first Affix Item and an Apothic Gem. Picking up your first affix item is what makes the Haven world tier visible, and Haven is enabled by default.[13][14]
- Crush a gem under a falling anvil to get Gem Dust. This is the quest step "Gem Dust" quest, and Gem Dust is needed for many recipes in the pack, including the Salvaging Table.[10][15]
- Craft the Salvaging Table (recipe below). It breaks affix items down into Rarity Materials. Once you've crushed a few gems with the anvil, it also gives you Gem Dust from gems, so you can stop relying on the anvil.[7][10][15][16]
- Salvage affix items to collect Rarity Materials. Rare items give apotheosis:rare_material, and the quest a quest in "Chapter 2: The Cool Parts" points you at exactly that. Common items give apotheosis:common_material and uncommon ones give apotheosis:uncommon_material.[7][10][16]
- Craft Gem-Fused Slate, then use it with a Luminous Crystal Shard to make the Smithing Template for the quest "Diamond Upgrade Template" quest.[10][16]

Why bother with the template? The pack's quest explains that Apotheosis has upgrade templates from Stone up to Diamond, and they let you keep enchantments and affixes on an item while you upgrade it. The pack also has Iron and Gold versions.[10][16]

What to build next
The Simple Reforging Table lets you reforge items with brand new affixes up to Rare rarity. It uses Rarity Materials, Gem Dust and Sigil of Rebirth as fuel, and you can reforge items that have no affixes yet. For Epic and higher you'll need to upgrade it into a Reforging Table.[6][16]

How does Apotheosis work?
7 parts
Apotheosis machines are crafting stations that turn gear and gems into rarity materials, then back into stronger gear. The loop is simple: salvage affix items into rarity materials, spend those (plus sigils) at the reforging, augmenting and gem cutting stations, and use the smithing table for sockets.[3][7][14]
Salvaging Table
The Salvaging Table breaks affix items down into Rarity Materials. Each rarity of item gives its own material, so what you salvage decides what you get.[7][14]
- Common items give apotheosis:common_material.[7][16]
- Uncommon items give apotheosis:uncommon_material.[7][16]
- Rare items give apotheosis:rare_material.[7][16]
- Epic items give apotheosis:epic_material.[7][16]
- Mythic items give apotheosis:mythic_material, which the guide says may only be obtained through salvaging mythic items.[7][16]

Recipe id: apotheosis:salvaging_table
The same table turns gems into Gem Dust. The pack has a gem salvaging recipe for every purity from cracked to perfect. Getting started takes a manual step: you crush gems with an anvil first, by dropping a gem in the world and letting an anvil block fall on it. The in-game tooltip says this gives your first Gem Dust, while the mod's project page says your first two. Crush a couple of gems to be safe, then switch to the table.[3][14][15][16]
Reforging
Reforging gives an item brand new affixes. It works on any valid item, not only items that already have affixes, and you can reforge the same item more than once. You start with the Simple Reforging Table, which handles items up to Rare. For Epic and above you upgrade it into the Reforging Table.[6]

Recipe id: apotheosis:reforging_table
In this pack the Reforging Table is crafted as an upgrade of the Simple Reforging Table.
The table has three input slots. Here is where everything goes:[6]
- The center slot holds the item you want to reforge.[6]
- The top-left slot holds Rarity Materials for the rarity you want to reforge with.[6]
- The bottom-right slot holds Sigil of Rebirth, the fuel for reforging.[6][14][16]
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: apotheosis:sigil_of_rebirth
Like an Enchanting Table, reforging offers three choices, and none is stronger than the others. Each rarity has a base cost in experience, sigils and materials. The extra choice slots charge double and triple that base cost. The guide notes that modpacks can change these costs or block reforging at certain rarities.[6]
Unverified The exact reforging costs in this pack are not shown in the sources here, and no Apotheosis config files were available, so check them in-game.
Augmenting Table
The Augmenting Table is the end-game station for improving single affixes while leaving the rest of the item alone. The upper slot takes the affix item, ideally Mythic and possibly Epic. The lower slot takes Sigil of Enhancement, and you pick the affix from a drop-down menu.[9][14]

- Upgrade: costs two Sigils of Enhancement and raises the affix's internal strength by 25%. How much that helps depends on the affix.[9]
- Reroll: costs one Sigil of Enhancement and swaps the selected affix for another of the same type. The alternatives are shown on the left.[9]
Gem Cutting and Sockets
The Gem Cutting Table upgrades gems. An upgrade usually costs Gem Dust, Rarity Materials and a second gem of the same purity. Higher purities cost more dust and higher-tier materials. Perfect gems cannot be upgraded any further, and the exact cost for each upgrade is shown in JEI.[11][12][14]

To socket a gem, put the item on the left and the gem on the right in a Smithing Table. The mod's project page adds that you can also right-click the item while holding the gem. Each gem lists which items it fits, and a Unique gem can only be socketed once per item.[3][11][14]
These sigils handle socket and name management:[14]
- Sigil of Socketing adds one socket to an item.[14][16]
- Sigil of Withdrawal removes all socketed gems. The item and the gems are both returned.[11][14]
- Sigil of Unnaming removes the affix components from an item's name, and is used in a Smithing Table.[14][16]

Smithing Templates
The pack has these Apotheosis upgrade templates: Smithing Template, Smithing Template and Smithing Template. Their tooltips say the iron one takes chain armor or stone equipment plus four iron ingots, and the gold one takes iron gear plus four gold ingots. The diamond one takes golden gear. Each of their recipes uses a Gem-Fused Slate.[14][16]
World Tiers
World Tiers are per-player difficulty settings: Haven, Frontier, Ascent, Summit and Pinnacle. They control how strong enemies are, which rarities and gem purities show up, and the bonuses you get.[19]
The default guide says you activate unlocked tiers yourself. This pack is different: its tier screen says World Tiers are activated automatically and cannot be changed by hand. You can still open the screen to see each tier's buffs, debuffs, rarity chances and gem purity chances.[13][14][17]
Enchanting Overhaul
Apotheosis also reworks enchanting around stats from your shelves. Each point of Eterna raises the maximum enchanting level by two. At 25% Arcana you will always receive at least two enchantments, and at 75% always three. Level 30 is reached with fifteen bookshelves, and the highest an Enchanting Table can reach is Level 100.[20][21][22]
The Enchantment Library stores enchantments from books as points. It holds levels up to its Level Capacity, which is sixteen for the standard library, and anything above that is voided. You extract levels by clicking a stored enchantment. The Library of Alexandria has a capacity of thirty-one and can only be made through Infusion Enchanting.[23]
How do you progress through Apotheosis?
6 parts
Apotheosis progression in this pack runs on two tracks. The quest line takes you from your first Gem Dust through salvaging and into the upgrade templates. Alongside it, the mod's own systems (World Tiers, rarities and enchanting levels) set the long-term pace. Here is the path, step by step.[10][19]
Step 1: Gem Dust and the Salvaging Table
The quest "Gem Dust" quest has you turn a gem into Gem Dust. You get the gem alongside a rare Affixed Item, then crush it under a falling anvil. The quest says Gem Dust is needed for many recipes, including the Salvaging Table.[10]
The next quest, a quest in "Chapter 2: The Cool Parts", asks for the Salvaging Table. Here is the in-pack recipe:[10][16]
Crafting Shaped
| any copper ingot | any copper ingot | any copper ingot |
Recipe id: apotheosis:salvaging_table
The Salvaging Table turns gems into Gem Dust and turns Affixed Items into a rarity material that matches the item's rarity. In this pack the salvaging recipes give these materials: apotheosis:common_material for Common, apotheosis:uncommon_material for Uncommon, apotheosis:rare_material for Rare, apotheosis:epic_material for Epic and apotheosis:mythic_material for Mythic. The quest text lists the top rarity as Legendary, but the pack's salvaging recipes and rarity guide use Mythic.[10][16][24]
Step 2: Gem-Fused Slate and upgrade templates
Many of the mod's crafted items use Gem-Fused Slate. The quest describes it as just Deepslate and Gem Dust.[10][16]
The quest "Diamond Upgrade Template" quest asks for the Diamond Upgrade Template. It says Apotheosis gives you upgrade templates from Stone to Diamond, and that they help you keep enchants and affixes on an item while upgrading it. The pack has recipes for Iron, Gold and Diamond templates, and each one uses a higher-rarity salvage material than the last: Mysterious Scrap Metal, Timeworn Fabric, then Luminous Crystal Shard.[10][16]

This is the template the quest asks for.
Step 3: Crafting stations and sigils
The pack also has recipes for the other Apotheosis stations: the Gem Cutting Table, the Simple Reforging Table and the full Reforging Table. The quest sources here do not show a quest order for them.[16]

End game: the Augmenting Table
The Augmenting Table is described as an end-game crafting station used to augment the individual affixes of an item. The Sigil of Enhancement is its fuel item.[9]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | Empty slot | |
| Mythic Material | Mythic Material | |
Recipe id: apotheosis:augmenting_table
The in-game guide says upgrading an affix costs two Sigils of Enhancement and raises its internal strength by 25%, while rerolling costs one sigil and swaps the affix for another of the same type. It recommends augmenting items of at least Mythic rarity, though Epic ones can also be worth it.[9]
World Tiers
There are five World Tiers: Haven, Frontier, Ascent, Summit and Pinnacle. Each one raises the difficulty and the rewards. Higher tiers also make higher-rarity items and Invaders more common. Tiers are unlocked through advancements, and after unlocking one you have to activate it yourself. Open the World Tier Select screen with CTRL+T (the default keybind) and press the Activate button.[13][17][19]
These are the default unlock requirements from the in-game guide:[13]
- Haven is enabled by default, but you won't see it until you pick up your first Affix Item.[13]
- Frontier: equip an Affix Item in each armor slot and hold an Affixed Weapon in either hand.[13]
- Ascent: equip a full set of Uncommon Affix Items, including a weapon, and slay an Apothic Invader.[13]
- Summit: acquire a full set of Rare Affix Items and slay the Wither.[13]
- Pinnacle: obtain a full set of Epic items and slay the Ender Dragon.[13]
Enchanting level progression
Enchanting Table levels have their own ladder. This is how the in-game guide describes the climb:[21][22][25][26][27]
- Level 30 comes the usual way, with fifteen bookshelves.[21]
- Level 45 needs Hellshelves, or Seashelves if you'd rather avoid the Nether.[26]
- Level 60 needs Infusion Enchanting to upgrade your shelves.[26]
- Level 70 needs a Level 60 table, access to Deepslate, and an infused Dormant Deepshelf to make a Deepshelf.[27]
- Level 75 means upgrading your Deepshelves with Echo Shards from the Ancient City and Sculk collected with Silk Touch.[27]
- Level 80 requires slaying the Warden, which lets you craft Sculkshelves.[27]
- Level 90 needs a Level 80 table and Dragon's Breath, to make the Infused Dragon's Breath used in Endshelves.[22]
- Level 100 is the maximum. It needs a Dragon Head from the outer End, and a single Draconic Endshelf takes a table from Level 90 to Level 100.[22]
How does Apotheosis work with other mods?
2 parts
The clearest link between Apotheosis and another mod in this pack is the Gate Pearl. The pack has crafting recipes that produce it, filed under the Apotheosis namespace. Each recipe is marked as changed by the pack, so don't assume they match the mod's defaults.[16]
Three ways to craft a Gate Pearl
The recipes are named ascent, summit and pinnacle. They use different Apotheosis materials, and you can see the exact in-pack ingredients in the recipe blocks below.[16]

Recipe id: apotheosis:gateways/tiered/pinnacle
This one also uses items from Apothic Enchanting, one of the Apotheosis modules.
Gem Dust is an ingredient in the ascent, summit and pinnacle recipes, so you'll want a steady supply. The "Gem Dust" quest quest explains how to get it: crush an Apotheosis Gem under a Falling Anvil. The quest chapter also says the Salvaging Table gives Gem Dust from gems.[10][16]
What the quests cover
The Apotheosis quests in Chapter 2 (Gem Dust, the Salvaging Table and the Diamond Upgrade Template) are about getting Gem Dust and rarity shards. They don't show any link to other mods. The Gate Pearl recipes are the only cross-mod connection I can confirm from the pack's files.[10][16]
Which All the Mods 10: To the Sky quests use Apotheosis?
1 part
The Apotheosis quests in this pack all sit in the chapter "Chapter 2: The Cool Parts". It's a short chain, and each quest follows the one before it. The first comes after the quest called Apotheosis Adventure.[10]
The quest chain, in order
- "Gem Dust" quest: you hand in Gem Dust. The quest explains that you get an Apotheosis Gem alongside a rare Affixed Item, then crush the gem under a falling anvil to make the dust. It also says Gem Dust is needed for many recipes, including the Salvaging Table.[10]
- a quest in "Chapter 2: The Cool Parts": you submit the Salvaging Table. The quest says the table gives you Gem Dust from gems and Rarity Shards from items. Affixed Items have a rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic or Legendary), and each gives a matching Rarity Shard.[10]
- "Diamond Upgrade Template" quest: you make the Smithing Template. The quest says Apotheosis has upgrade templates from Stone up to Diamond, and that they help you keep enchantments and affixes on an item while upgrading it.[10]
