XTones Reworked guide for FTB Skies 2 1.0.1 to 1.22.0

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.2 guide

The pack ships XTones Reworked in version 1.1.1-1.21.1 (file xtonesreworked-1.1.1-1.21.1.jar). It has been part of the pack since version 0.62 or earlier, so it isn't a recent addition.^[1]

Unverified What XTones Reworked adds in detail is not confirmed by the sources available for this guide, so this section doesn't describe its features, items or recipes.

Same as in the All the Mons 1.3.0 guide

XTones Reworked is a decorative block mod, so there is nothing to grind through here. Everything starts from one crafting item, and the order below gets you from that to a full palette of blocks.^[2]

Step 1: make Xtone Tile

Xtone Tile is the base of nearly everything in the mod. One craft gives you 8 of them, so you will not run short.^[2]

Step 2: craft your first base blocks

Each base block pairs Xtone Tile with one other material and gives you 8 blocks per craft. Agon is a good first one, because it is the starting point for a whole colour family.^[2]

Step 3: dye your blocks into variants

Once you have a base block, you do not need more Xtone Tile to get colours. Combine a dye with any block from the same family and you get 8 of the matching variant. For Agon, that gives variants 1 to 15, one per dye colour, such as Agon Variant 1.^[2]

Step 4: use the stonecutter for Azur and Jelt

The Azur and Jelt families can also be switched between variants in a stonecutter. Put in any block of the family and pick the variant you want, for example Azur Variant 1 or Jelt Variant 1. In total the pack has 256 stonecutting recipes for this mod, so it is the quickest way to reshuffle a build.^[2]

Step 5: add lighting

Flat Lamp is the mod's light source, and it gives you 2 per craft. This is one of the few recipes the pack has changed from the mod's own version, so trust the recipe below rather than anything you remember from the mod elsewhere.^[2]

Here's the thing to know up front: in the material I have for this pack, XTones Reworked is a decorative block mod. Everything I can confirm is about crafting and stonecutting building blocks. I found no machines, multiblocks, power, fluid or item-handling systems for it, so there's nothing to automate.^[2][3]

Start with the Xtone Tile

Nearly everything in the mod starts from Xtone Tile. One craft gives you 8 tiles, so a small batch goes a long way.^[2]

Base blocks

Each base block family has a first block that you craft from Xtone Tiles plus one other item. Every craft makes 8 blocks. This covers Agon, Bitt, Cray, Fort, Glaxx, ISZM and Korp. Here is Agon as an example:^[2]

Dye variants

For Agon, the numbered variants come from combining a dye with Agon blocks, and each craft makes 8. The pack's recipe dump shows variants 1 and 10 to 15 using yellow, red, orange, brown, black, gray and light gray dyes. Plain Agon also has an alternate recipe that uses white dye.^[2]

Stonecutter variants

Some families, such as Azur, use the stonecutter instead. Put any Azur block in and pick the variant you want. The recipe dump counts 256 stonecutting recipes for the mod, each with a different result.^[2]

Each family is a set of numbered variants, from 0 up to 15. The language file lists names such as Jelt, Kryp, Lair, Lave and Mint alongside the ones above.^[3]

The Flat Lamp

The Flat Lamp is the one item here that the pack has changed. You get 2 lamps per craft with the pack's recipe, so don't rely on the mod's default recipe from elsewhere.^[2]

Unverified Whether the mod has any machines, power, fluid or automation features is not confirmed by the sources available for this pack. There is no in-jar guidebook, no config files and no usable documentation for it.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

XTones Reworked doesn't have a tiered ladder you climb. What the recipes in this pack show is a set of block families that all start from the same ingredient, Xtone Tile.^[4]

The base block families

Each family has a base block that combines Xtone Tile with one common material, and the material decides which family you get: Agon, Bitt, Cray, Fort, Glaxx or ISZM. There's also a standalone Azur, which is crafted from Xtone Tile and a dye.^[4]

Variants and recoloring

Once you have a base block, you don't need more Xtone Tile for the other looks. Each variant, like Agon Variant 1 or Glaxx Variant 7, is crafted from a dye plus any block of the same family. Which dye gives which variant differs between families, so check the recipe viewer for the exact one you want.^[4]

Every family also has an alternate recipe that turns a dye plus any block of that family into its base block.^[4]
