AllTheOres guide for All the Mods 10 2.30 to 4.0

All the Mods 10 4.0 ships with AllTheOres version 3.1.6, and it has been part of the pack since version 2.25 or earlier. It's one of those mods you'll interact with constantly without always noticing, because its materials pop up all over the questbook.^[1]

If you're following the quests, this mod is for you. Its items, like Steel Ingot, Uranium Ingot, Sulfur and Raw Silver, are the shared materials that tech and magic chapters ask you to bring in.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7]}

Where it shows up in your progression

• Steam Age: an early quest asks for a Steel Ingot in a quest in "?".^[7]
• Immersive Engineering: you'll make alloy ingots for this chapter, including Bronze Ingot, Brass Ingot, Constantan Ingot, Electrum Ingot, Invar Ingot and Steel Ingot. The big multiblock quests also want Steel Block, 9 of them in a quest in "?" and 6 in a quest in "?".^[2]
• Rods: a quest in "?" accepts a Steel Rod, Iron Rod or Aluminum Rod.^[2]
• Mekanism: expect to hand in Osmium Ingot, Steel Ingot and Sulfur. Later, in the Mekanism reactors chapter, Sulfur leads into a quest in "?", which asks for Fluorite.^[3][5]
• Power: Uranium Ingot shows up in Basic Power and in Extreme Reactors, where a quest in "?" asks for 4 of them.^[4][8]
• Occultism: a quest in "?" asks for Raw Silver alongside vanilla raw iron, gold and copper.^[6]
• The chapter_2_the_star chapter has quests for a Uranium Ingot and a Steel Ingot.^[9]

Unverified Which ores AllTheOres adds to world generation, where they spawn, and how they are processed isn't covered by the pack data available here.

AllTheOres supplies a lot of the metals and materials that the rest of this pack builds on. Its items appear as quest tasks across many chapters, and the one you'll see most is Steel Ingot. It's a task in a quest in "?", a quest in "?", a quest in "?" and a quest in "?". Here's a sensible order for your first AllTheOres items.^[2][3][7][9]

Know where to dig

Every AllTheOres ore has a tooltip that shows the Y range where it generates. The Nether, End and other variants of each ore use the same range. Here are the ranges for the ores you'll want early on:^[10]

• Tin: Y -64 to Y 196.^[10]
• Zinc: Y -64 to Y 126.^[10]
• Silver, nickel, lead and osmium: Y -64 to Y 56.^[10]
• Sulfur: Y -64 to Y 25.^[10]
• Uranium: Y -64 to Y 16, so plan on digging deep.^[10]
• Aluminum: Y -64 to Y 320.^[10]

Step 1: Get an ore hammer

Several of the most useful early crafting-table recipes accept any ore hammer. With a hammer you can make rods like Iron Rod by hand, and you can turn sulfur and fluorite ores straight into Sulfur and Fluorite.^[11]

Unverified The recipe for the ore hammer itself isn't in the sources for this section, so check it in JEI. This site does hold All the Mods 10's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

Handy for the Immersive Engineering quest that accepts a rod.

That quest is a quest in "?". It accepts an Iron Rod, a Steel Rod or an Aluminum Rod, so the iron rod is the quickest way to clear it. Later, Immersive Engineering's metal press can also make these rods.^[2][11]

Step 2: Make steel

Steel unlocks the most quests, so it's your first real alloy target. You can make it in Immersive Engineering's alloy recipe or in Ender IO's alloy smelting. Use whichever machine you reach first.^{[2][3][7][9][11]}

Keep going with steel. The Immersive Engineering multiblock quest a quest in "?" asks for 9 Steel Block, and a quest in "?" asks for 6 more.^[2]

Step 3: The other alloys

Once your alloy setup is running, work through the other alloys. Each one has its own quest in the Immersive Engineering chapter, and each can be made with the same two alloying methods as steel.^[2][11]

• Bronze Ingot for a quest in "?".^[2][11]
• Brass Ingot for a quest in "?".^[2][11]
• Constantan Ingot for a quest in "?".^[2][11]
• Electrum Ingot for a quest in "?".^[2][11]

Step 4: Sulfur and fluorite

Sulfur is a task in the Mekanism quests a quest in "?" and a quest in "?", and in a quest in "?" in the Mekanism reactors chapter. That quest leads into a quest in "?", which needs Fluorite. The hammer recipes are the easy way to get both early on.^[3][5][11]

Looking ahead

Start saving osmium and uranium. Osmium Ingot is a Mekanism quest task in a quest in "?". Uranium Ingot shows up in a quest in "?", a quest in "?" and a quest in "?", and Extreme Reactors quest a quest in "?" asks for 4 of them.^[3][4][8][9]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 4.5 guide

AllTheOres adds a big set of ores, storage blocks and processing chemicals. Its ore blocks come in five variants: a normal stone version, a deepslate version, a Nether version, an End version and an 'other' version. Every variant of the same ore shares the same height range, so once you know where one kind of ore spawns you know where all its variants spawn.^[10]

Where each ore spawns

Every ore range starts at Y -64, the bottom of the world, and ends at a different height depending on the ore. The lower the top of the range, the deeper you'll need to dig.^[10]

• Aluminum: Y -64 to Y 320, so it can turn up at almost any height.^[10]
• Sapphire: Y -64 to Y 296.^[10]
• Cinnabar, Fluorite, Ruby and Salt: Y -64 to Y 228.^[10]
• Peridot and Tin: Y -64 to Y 196.^[10]
• Zinc: Y -64 to Y 126.^[10]
• Lead, Nickel, Osmium and Silver: Y -64 to Y 56.^[10]
• Platinum: Y -64 to Y 36.^[10]
• Iridium: Y -64 to Y 32.^[10]
• Sulfur: Y -64 to Y 25.^[10]
• Uranium: Y -64 to Y 16, the deepest range of the lot.^[10]

Slurry chemicals

The mod also registers chemicals for four of its metals: aluminum, iridium, platinum and uranium. Each one comes as a Dirty Slurry and a Clean Slurry, for example Dirty Iridium Slurry and Clean Iridium Slurry. The dirty and clean pairing means these are meant for an ore-processing chain where you clean the slurry before turning it into metal.^[10]

Unverified Which machines process these slurries in this pack, and what they turn into, isn't shown in the available sources. Check your recipe viewer in game for the exact chain. This site does hold All the Mods 10's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

Storage blocks and decompression

AllTheOres has storage blocks for its metals, alloys and gems, such as Osmium Block, Bronze Block, Enderium Block and Ruby Block. There are also raw ore blocks like Raw Osmium Block and Raw Uranium Block. In this pack, each of these blocks has a compressed 1x version, and a shapeless crafting recipe turns that 1x compressed block back into the normal block.^[12]

9× Osmium BlockMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• Osmium Block 1x

Recipe id: allthecompressed:decompress/osmium_block_1x

Turning a compressed Osmium Block back into a regular one

9× Raw Osmium BlockMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• Raw Osmium Block 1x

Recipe id: allthecompressed:decompress/raw_osmium_block_1x

The same idea works for raw ore blocks

These decompress recipes cover a wide range of blocks: metals like Aluminum Block, Platinum Block and Iridium Block, alloys like Electrum Block, Signalum Block and Lumium Block, gems and minerals like Sapphire Block, Peridot Block and Salt Block, and raw blocks like Raw Tin Block and Raw Zinc Block. So if you've packed your stockpile into compressed storage, you can always unpack it when you need the regular blocks again.^[12]

Unverified The available sources don't show any machines, multiblocks, power or fluid handling that belong to AllTheOres itself. The mod appears to supply materials for other mods to process, but this isn't confirmed here.

AllTheOres doesn't have a questline of its own in this pack. Instead, its ingots, gems and blocks show up as quest tasks across other mods' chapters: Immersive Engineering, Mekanism, Mekanism reactors, Extreme Reactors, basic power, Occultism and the steam age. The best way to follow its progression is to track which materials each stage asks for and which machines can make them.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]}

Early game: raw ores and hand processing

Your first AllTheOres quest item might be Raw Silver. The Occultism quest a quest in "?" asks for it together with vanilla raw iron, gold and copper. An Ender IO SAG mill recipe can also give you raw silver from silver ore.^[6][11]

Before you have machines, you can still get Sulfur, Fluorite and rods like Iron Rod with simple shapeless and shaped crafting recipes that use an ore hammer. Sulfur ore can also go straight into a furnace or blast furnace.^[11]

The alloy tier

The Immersive Engineering chapter asks for a whole set of alloys: Bronze Ingot in a quest in "?", Brass Ingot in a quest in "?", Constantan Ingot in a quest in "?", Electrum Ingot in a quest in "?" and Invar Ingot in a quest in "?". All five share the same prerequisite quest, so they unlock together. Steel Ingot in a quest in "?" shares that prerequisite but also needs one more.^[2]

Every one of these alloys has recipes in the Immersive Engineering alloy smelter, the Ender IO alloy smelter and the Immersive Engineering arc furnace. Bronze, brass and constantan dusts can also be smelted or blasted into ingots.^[11]

Steel

Steel is the material the pack asks for most often. Quests for Steel Ingot appear in the Immersive Engineering chapter, the Mekanism chapter as a quest in "?", the steam age chapter as a quest in "?", and also as a quest in "?".^[2][3][7][9]

The arc furnace has its own steel recipe, separate from the alloy smelter one.

The big Immersive Engineering build quests need a lot of steel. a quest in "?" asks for 9 Steel Block alongside engineering blocks and scaffolding, and a quest in "?" asks for 6 steel blocks. Stock up before you get there.^[2]

Rods come next. a quest in "?" accepts a Steel Rod, Iron Rod or Aluminum Rod. You can make these with the hammer crafting recipes, the Immersive Engineering metal press, or Create Crafts & Additions rolling. The pack changed the rolling recipes to output AllTheOres rods.^[2][11]

Arc furnace processing

Once your arc furnace is running, this pack adds its own recipes that turn constantan, electrum, osmium, steel and uranium ores straight into ingots, with slag as a byproduct. It also adds recipes that melt constantan, electrum, steel and uranium sheetmetal back into ingots, and the pack changed the arc furnace recipes for raw osmium and raw uranium.^[11]

Uranium IngotAdded by the pack

Arc Furnace (immersiveengineering)

• any uranium ore

Arc Furnace (immersiveengineering)

• Steel Sheetmetal

Recipe id: allthemods:arcfurnace/sheetmetal_steel_to_steel_ingot

Mekanism tier: osmium, sulfur and fluorite

Mekanism asks for Osmium Ingot in a quest in "?". You can smelt or blast osmium ore, raw osmium or osmium dust. The pack also changed Create's osmium clump recipes so they give the AllTheOres ingot.^[3][11]

Sulfur appears in a quest in "?" and in the chemical machines quest a quest in "?". On the reactor path, a quest in "?" asks for sulfur and leads into a quest in "?", which needs Fluorite and a chemical dissolution chamber.^[3][5]

Sulfur has plenty of routes: Mekanism enriching, the Immersive Engineering crusher, the Ender IO SAG mill, smelting, and an Actually Additions crushing recipe added by the pack. Fluorite comes from the crusher, the SAG mill or Actually Additions crushing.^[11]

Uranium and power

Uranium Ingot is where power generation comes in. It's needed for the basic power quest a quest in "?", for a quest in "?", and for the Extreme Reactors quests a quest in "?" and a quest in "?". The second of those asks for 4 ingots. In the Immersive Engineering chapter, a quest in "?" also accepts a Uranium Block instead of a lava bucket or magma block.^[2][4][8][9]

Unverified The sources don't cover ore generation, such as which dimensions or heights each AllTheOres ore spawns at, so this section can't tell you where to mine them.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 4.5 guide

AllTheOres is the metal backbone of this pack, so its ingots, blocks and dusts show up across lots of other mods. Here's how it links with Mekanism, Immersive Engineering, Applied Energistics add-ons and All the Compressed, plus which quest lines ask for its items.^[12][13][14]

Mekanism ore processing

AllTheOres includes its own Mekanism processing recipes, so its metals work with Mekanism's ore multiplication. Purifying turns ores, raw materials, raw blocks and shards into clumps like Aluminum Clump, Iridium Clump and Nickel Clump. Injecting turns ores, raw materials and raw blocks into shards like Aluminum Shard and Iridium Shard. Dissolution turns them into dirty slurries.^[12]

Nickel ClumpMod recipe

Purifying (mekanism)

• Liquid Oxygen
• any nickel shard

Recipe id: alltheores:processing/nickel/clump/from_shard

Heads up: the pack has changed the crystal-to-shard injecting recipes for aluminum, copper, gold, iridium, iron, lead and nickel. That covers items like Copper Shard, Gold Shard, Iron Shard, Lead Shard and Nickel Shard. Check the recipe below rather than relying on the mod's default.^[12]

2× Aluminum ShardChanged by the pack

Injecting (mekanism)

• Liquid Hydrogen Chloride
• any aluminum crystal

Recipe id: alltheores:processing/aluminum/shard/from_crystal

Changed by the pack

Unverified Exactly what the pack changed in these crystal-to-shard recipes is not shown in the available data.

Immersive Engineering sheetmetal recycling

The pack adds Arc Furnace recipes that melt Immersive Engineering sheetmetal back into AllTheOres ingots, and sheetmetal slabs back into nuggets. This works for aluminum, constantan, electrum, lead, nickel, silver, steel and uranium. So if you over-crafted Steel Sheetmetal, you can get Steel Ingot back.^[12]

All the Compressed

All the Compressed's 1x blocks, like Steel Block 1x or Raw Osmium Block 1x, decompress straight back into the matching AllTheOres storage blocks. This covers metals, alloys, raw blocks and gems. Salt Block also has a compress recipe listed here.^[12]

Quests that use AllTheOres items

• Immersive Engineering chapter: separate quests ask for alloy ingots, including electrum a quest in "?", steel a quest in "?", bronze a quest in "?", constantan a quest in "?", brass a quest in "?" and invar a quest in "?".^[13]
• Also in the Immersive Engineering chapter, a quest in "?" accepts an AllTheOres rod among other options. The multiblock quests a quest in "?" and a quest in "?" need Steel Block. a quest in "?" accepts Uranium Block as one option.^[13]
• Steam and electric ages: a quest in "?" wants bronze and a quest in "?" wants steel. That steel quest leads into a quest in "?". Another path goes from Ruby Dust a quest in "?" to Aluminum Dust a quest in "?" to Aluminum Ingot a quest in "?". That last quest unlocks a quest in "?".^[15][16][17]
• Mekanism chapters: Osmium Ingot a quest in "?" and steel a quest in "?". Sulfur is needed alongside Mekanism machines in a quest in "?" and a quest in "?". Fluorite is needed in a quest in "?".^[14][18]
• Power and reactors: Uranium Ingot is required in a quest in "?", a quest in "?" and a quest in "?". a quest in "?" asks for 4 of them.^[19][20][21]
• Age of oil: Platinum Dust a quest in "?" and Platinum Ingot a quest in "?".^[22]
• Occultism: a quest in "?" needs Silver Ingot together with vanilla ingots.^[23]
• Oritech: a quest in "?" asks for 4 Nickel Ingot.^[24]

AllTheOres doesn't have its own quest chapter in this pack. Its ingots, dusts and raw ores show up as quest tasks all over the questbook instead. You'll find them in the immersive_engineering, mekanism, mekanism_reactors, extreme_reactors, basic_power, steam_age, occultism and chapter_2_the_star chapters.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]}

Immersive Engineering

This chapter uses the mod the most. It has a set of alloy quests, one for each ingot, and they all unlock after the same prerequisite quest. That means you can do them in any order once it's done.^[2]

• a quest in "?" asks for a Electrum Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "?" asks for a Bronze 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]
• a quest in "?" asks for a Steel Ingot. It needs that same shared prerequisite plus one more quest.^[2]

a quest in "?" is flexible. A Steel Rod, Iron Rod or Aluminum Rod all complete it, and so do some Immersive Engineering parts. a quest in "?" works the same way: a lava bucket, a magma block or an Uranium Block will all do.^[2]

Two bigger build quests need steel in block form. a quest in "?" asks for 9 Steel Block along with a pile of Immersive Engineering structural parts. a quest in "?" asks for 6 steel blocks, 27 reinforced blast bricks, a cauldron and more Immersive Engineering parts.^[2]

Mekanism and Mekanism reactors

• a quest in "?" asks for an Osmium Ingot.^[3]
• a quest in "?" asks for a Steel Ingot.^[3]
• a quest in "?" asks for Sulfur plus a set of Mekanism machines: a chemical oxidizer, electric pump, electrolytic separator, chemical infuser and rotary condensentrator.^[3]
• a quest in "?" asks for Sulfur and unlocks after several other quests in the chapter.^[3]

In the mekanism_reactors chapter, the order is clear. Start with a quest in "?", which asks for Sulfur. That unlocks a quest in "?", which wants Fluorite and a chemical dissolution chamber.^[5]

Power, reactors and other chapters

• Extreme reactors: a quest in "?" asks for a Uranium Ingot. Later, a quest in "?" asks for 4 uranium ingots.^[4]
• Basic power: a quest in "?" asks for a Uranium Ingot.^[8]
• Steam age: a quest in "?" asks for a Steel Ingot.^[7]
• chapter_2_the_star: a quest in "?" asks for a Uranium Ingot and a quest in "?" asks for a Steel Ingot.^[9]
• Occultism: a quest in "?" asks for a bound foliot book of binding together with raw iron, raw gold, raw copper and Raw Silver.^[6]

Unverified The quest data doesn't show a recommended order for working through these chapters, and many of the prerequisite quests don't involve this mod. So the best chapter to start with is unconfirmed.

AllTheOres has been in All the Mods 10 for a long time. It was first included in version 2.2 or earlier, and it's still in the pack today.^[1]

• All the Mods 10 2.2 or earlier: AllTheOres is first included in the pack.^[1]
• All the Mods 10 2.29: AllTheOres is updated from 3.1.5 to 3.1.6.^[25]
• All the Mods 10 4.0: the pack ships AllTheOres 3.1.6, using the file alltheores-3.1.6_neoforge_1.21.1.jar.^[1]

If you're playing All the Mods 10 4.0, you're running AllTheOres 3.1.6. That's the same version number the pack moved to in 2.29.^[1][25]

Unverified The specific changes between AllTheOres 3.1.5 and 3.1.6 aren't documented in the available sources, so it's unconfirmed whether that update changed any ores, recipes or other in-game behaviour. This site does hold All the Mods 10's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.
