Common Ore Library in Project Infinity 0.1

Common Ore Library is in the pack as version 2.0.0-1.20.1, and it has been there since Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.45.4 or earlier. What you will notice in play is the metal ingots it adds under its own namespace: Aluminum Ingot, Brass Ingot, Cobalt Ingot, Iridium Ingot, Manyullyn Ingot, Platinum Ingot, Tungsten Ingot and Zinc Ingot.^[1][2]

Where it sits in the quest book

The quest book gives these ingots their own quests in the "Extended Crafting" chapter. That chapter is in the "Production" group and is chapter 37 of 44 in the book. Each quest is a simple item task: you hand in the ingot. For example, there are quests for a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting" and a quest in "Extended Crafting".^[2]

You will not be alone in that chapter. It has 248 quests, and the ones I can see ask for ingots and alloys from many other mods, plus a lot of Extended Crafting singularity quests. There is also a "Welcome to Extended Crafting" quest, which is a simple checkmark. The quest text for 113 of the chapter's quests is not shown here, so check the quest book itself for those.^[2]

The quests I can see for this mod are all in that one chapter, and nothing in them puts the mod on the ATM Star path. I also can't tell from these sources which chapters come directly before or after it in the book.^[2]

Common Ore Library supplies the shared metals in this pack: ingots, dusts, plates, gears, rods, ores and molten fluids for metals like aluminum, brass, cobalt, zinc and platinum. Other mods' recipes in the pack take and produce these items. A good way to start is the aluminum chain, because it shows up in lots of machine recipes.^[3][4]

Step 1: Get an aluminum ingot

Your first target is Aluminum Ingot. The blasting recipe for aluminum ore is one the pack changed, so use the one below.^[3]

Aluminum IngotChanged by the pack

Blasting

• any aluminum ore

Recipe id: alltheores:aluminum_ingot_from_ore_blasting

If you don't have a natural source of ore yet, the pack adds a recipe that turns an Aluminum Ore Chunk into Aluminum Ore.^[3]

4 × Aluminum Ore Chunk

Recipe id: minecraft:kjs/common_ore_library_aluminum_ore

This recipe is added by the pack.

Step 2: Make dust and gears

Next, make Aluminum Dust by hand with an ore hammer. This recipe is also changed by the pack, and it gives you 2 dust. Dust is worth having because machines from several mods, such as Mekanism enriching and the Thermal pulverizer, make it.^[3]

2× Aluminum DustChanged by the pack

Crafting Shapeless

• any ore hammer
• any aluminum raw material

8 × Cobalt Essence

Recipe id: minecraft:kjs/common_ore_library_cobalt_ingot

This recipe is added by the pack and makes 6 ingots.

Where the quest book comes in

The quest book asks for this mod's ingots in its Extended Crafting chapter. Some quests in that chapter are not covered here, so check the quest book for the rest.^[2]

Several quests there ask you to hand in this mod's ingots: a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting", a quest in "Extended Crafting" and a quest in "Extended Crafting". Each one is listed before the quest "The one and only" quest in the book.^[2]

Common Ore Library is a materials mod, so the "mechanics" here are about what its items and fluids do inside other mods' machines. Its language file lists ores, raw and storage blocks, dusts, nuggets, ingots, plates, gears, rods and a long set of molten metal fluids with matching buckets. The sources don't show any machines, multiblocks or power systems belonging to the mod itself, so everything below is how its materials move through machines from other mods.^[3][4]

Molten metal: crucible and chiller

Molten metals are real fluids, and Thermal's crucible and chiller are the machines that make and use them in this pack. Take aluminum as the example: a crucible melts an aluminum gear into 360 of Molten Aluminum. A chiller then turns 90 of that fluid plus an ingot cast into an Aluminum Ingot.^[3]

360× Molten AluminumMod recipe

Crucible (thermal)

• any aluminum gear

Recipe id: thermal_processing:machine/crucible/from_gear/aluminum

Aluminum IngotMod recipe

Chiller (thermal)

• 90× Molten Aluminum
• Chiller Ingot Cast

Recipe id: thermal_processing:machine/chiller/to_ingot/aluminum

A gear takes the other cast. The chiller recipe for an Aluminum Gear uses 360 molten aluminum and a gear cast, which matches what the crucible gives back when you melt one.^[3]

Aluminum GearMod recipe

Chiller (thermal)

• 360× Molten Aluminum
• Gear Cast

Recipe id: thermal_processing:machine/chiller/to_gear/aluminum

This isn't a one-off. The recipe dump counts 192 crucible recipes making this mod's fluids, and 30 chiller recipes that make its items. 22 of the chiller ingredients are this mod's molten fluids.^[3]

Ore to dust to ingot

Several machines can process the same ore, and the pack has changed some of those routes. These are the ones the sources confirm:^[3]

• Mekanism's enriching recipe turns an aluminum ore into 2 Aluminum Dust. The pack changed this recipe.^[3]
• NuclearCraft's manufactory turns a raw cobalt material into 2 Cobalt Dust. The pack changed this recipe too.^[3]
• The pack's own manufactory script also covers cobalt ore, plus Ex Deorum aluminum and iridium ore chunks. Each gives 2 dust.^[5]
• Thermal's smelter turns aluminum ore into an aluminum ingot, and it also gives thermal:cinnabar and thermal:rich_slag. This is a mod recipe.^[3]
• Blasting an aluminum ore also gives an aluminum ingot. The pack changed this recipe.^[3]
• Thermal's pulverizer turns amethyst gems into Amethyst Dust.^[3]

Ex Deorum ore chunks can also be crafted into this mod's ores for aluminum, zinc, cobalt, platinum and iridium. That helps if you get your ore through sieving instead of mining.^[6]

Alloys, presses and the pack's changes

Brass can be made in several ways in this pack. Thermal's smelter makes 2 Brass Ingot from copper and zinc dusts and ingots, which is a mod recipe. The pack added an EnderIO alloy smelting recipe that turns brass dust into a brass ingot. A furnace-type smelting recipe for brass dust also exists, and the pack changed it.^[3]

Brass IngotAdded by the pack

Alloy Smelting (enderio)

• any brass dusts

Recipe id: enderio:smelting/alltheores/brass_ingot_from_dust

Presses make rods and unpack blocks. With a rod die, Thermal's press turns an aluminum ingot into 2 Aluminum Rod. With an unpacking die it turns an aluminum block into 9 ingots.^[3]

2× Aluminum RodMod recipe

Press (thermal)

• Rod Die
• any aluminum ingot

Recipe id: thermal_processing:machine/press/rods/aluminum

Bronze Rod works the same way but uses a different die (thermal_extra:press_rod_die), and the pack changed that recipe. It also gives 2 rods per bronze ingot.^[3]

Hand crafting

Not everything needs a machine. The mod's own recipe makes an aluminum gear in the crafting grid, and the pack changed the aluminum plate and aluminum block recipes. The plate needs one of the ore hammers.^[3]

You'll also meet these materials in the pack's own end-game recipes. Manyullyn Ingot is an ingredient in the cobalt capacitor recipe. Platinum Plate is used in the Extended Crafting table recipe for the ProjectE Condenser Mk1.^[7][8]

In this pack, Common Ore Library shows up as a set of shared metals, dusts and plates that other mods and the quest book ask for. The sources here show no tier ladder for the mod itself, so its place in progression comes from the Extended Crafting quest chapter and the pack's changed and added recipes.^[2][3]

Where the quest book uses it

The chapter "Extended Crafting" sits in the Production group. Most of its quests are one-item submission quests for an ingot, alloy or singularity. Eight of those ingot quests ask for this mod's metals, and none of them lists a prerequisite in the chapter data.^[2]

Those eight quests ask you to hand in Aluminum Ingot, Brass Ingot, Cobalt Ingot, Zinc Ingot, Platinum Ingot, Iridium Ingot, Tungsten Ingot and Manyullyn Ingot.^[2]

All eight are prerequisites of the quest "The one and only" (The Ultimate Ingot). That quest has a very long list of ingot quests in front of it, so these metals are just a few of the many you collect on the way.^[2]

Getting each metal in this pack

Here is where the pack has changed or added routes for these metals. Anything marked as changed or added differs from the mod's defaults.^[3]

• Aluminum: the pack adds a way to craft Aluminum Ore from Ex Deorum drops (recipe shown below). Aluminum ore then goes through the pack's changed blasting recipe to make Aluminum Ingot. The pack also adds a NuclearCraft manufactory route to 2 Aluminum Dust.^[3][6]
• Cobalt: the pack adds a recipe for Cobalt Ingot (shown below). It also adds a NuclearCraft manufactory route that gives 2 Cobalt Dust from Cobalt Ore.^[3]
• Zinc: the pack changed a NuclearCraft target chamber recipe so it makes Zinc Ingot from a copper ingot.^[3]
• Iridium: the pack changed a target chamber recipe that produces Iridium Ingot (shown below). Pulverizing iridium ore in a Thermal pulverizer gives Iridium Dust and Platinum Dust, plus gravel.^[3]
• Platinum: the pack changed the pulverizer recipes, so platinum ore gives Platinum Dust, gravel and tin dust.^[3]
• Tungsten: the pack changed a NuclearCraft rock crusher recipe so 7 basalt gives Tungsten Dust and niobium dust.^[3]
• Brass: the pack changed the crafting and smelting recipes that make Brass Ingot, and added an Ender IO alloy smelting route from brass dust. It also added a recipe that makes Brass Nugget from a Voidminers Aurantium Block.^[3]
• Manyullyn: the pack added a Thermal press recipe that turns Manyullyn Ingot into Manyullyn Plate.^[3]

6× Cobalt IngotAdded by the pack

Iridium IngotChanged by the pack

Target Chamber (nuclearcraft)

• Iridium 192

Recipe id: nuclearcraft:target_chamber/neutron-0-iridium_192

This is the pack-changed target chamber route to Iridium Ingot.

Handy extras

The pack's Armor Plus script also crafts the cobalt and manyullyn armor sets (helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots) from ingots of those metals, so those ingots have a use beyond the quest book.^[9]

Common Ore Library supplies the shared metals, dusts, molten fluids and blocks that other mods in the pack build on. You see it most in Thermal machines, in the pack's block-conversion recipes, and in the endgame crafting recipes.^[3]

Thermal machines

Thermal is the biggest partner. The recipe dump counts 58 Thermal Press recipes that make this mod's items, plus 22 more that use Thermal Processing dies. Smelting a pack-wide block into ingots is one example: the press with an unpacking die turns an aluminum block into 9 Aluminum Ingot.^[3]

9× Aluminum IngotMod recipe

Press (thermal)

• Press Unpacking Die
• any aluminum storage block

Recipe id: thermal_processing:machine/press/block_to_ingot/aluminum

The pack changed the bronze rod recipe. It now uses the Rod Die and makes 2 Bronze Rod from bronze ingots.^[3]

2× Bronze RodChanged by the pack

Press (thermal)

• Rod Die
• any bronze ingot

Recipe id: thermal_extra:machine/press/bronze_rod

The Thermal Chiller is where the molten fluids come in. The dump counts 30 chiller recipes that take this mod's molten fluids and make this mod's items. With an ingot cast, 90 Molten Aluminum make one Aluminum Ingot. With a gear cast, 360 make an Aluminum Gear. Molten bronze works the same way but gives you Thermal's own Bronze Ingot and Bronze Gear.^[3]

Aluminum IngotMod recipe

Chiller (thermal)

• 90× Molten Aluminum
• Chiller Ingot Cast

Recipe id: thermal_processing:machine/chiller/to_ingot/aluminum

The pack changed the osmium chiller recipe. 90 Molten Osmium and an ingot cast now give Mekanism's Osmium Ingot. Molten Scrap chills into Netherite Scrap.^[3]

Ore processing also crosses over. Smelting aluminum ore gives an Aluminum Ingot plus Cinnabar and Rich Slag. The pulverizer gives Aluminum Dust, Gravel and cinnabar. The bottler turns an ore plus 100 Molten Sulfur into 3 aluminum dust. The pack changed the platinum ore pulverizer so it gives Platinum Dust, gravel and Tin Dust.^[3]

Block and ore conversions

The pack adds stonecutting recipes so blocks from different mods can be swapped. This mod's Aluminum Block converts to and from the AllTheOres and NuclearCraft aluminum blocks, and to and from Chisel Chipped's Block of Aluminum. There are 21 stonecutting recipes from this mod's blocks into Chisel Chipped blocks. Bronze Block and Thermal's Block of Bronze convert both ways too, and the dump counts 7 recipes in each direction between this mod and Thermal.^[3]

Aluminum BlockAdded by the pack

Stonecutting

• Aluminum Block

Recipe id: minecraft:kjs/alltheores_aluminum_block

Ex Deorum's Aluminum Ore Chunk can be crafted into Aluminum Ore in the pack. NuclearCraft's manufactory turns a chunk into 2 aluminum dust. The pack also changed the Industrial Foregoing laser drill recipe that uses Laser Lens12 to give Raw Aluminum.^[3]

Alloys and endgame crafting

The pack adds an Evolved Mekanism alloying recipe that uses this mod's Scrap Dust to make Thermal Extra's Dragonsteel Ingot.^[3]

Dragonsteel IngotAdded by the pack

Alloying (evolvedmekanism)

• Scrap Dust
• Nickel Ingot
• Ancient Dust

Recipe id: alloying_thermal_extra:dragonsteel_ingot

Several Mystical Agriculture seeds need this mod's metals, using a different crafting method for each. Iridium Seeds use an Extended Crafting table and an Iridium Block. Cobalt Seeds use an Extended Crafting combination with 8 Cobalt Block. Brass Seeds use a Botania runic altar and 4 Brass Ingot. The pack also lets Cobalt Essence be crafted into 6 Cobalt Ingot.^[3]

The pack's custom capacitors script also uses Manyullyn Ingot in its cobalt capacitor recipe.^[7]

In the quest book

The "Extended Crafting" chapter sits in the Production group and is chapter 37 of 44 in the book. It has 248 quests, and many of them ask you to obtain an ingot. Several are this mod's ingots: a quest in "Extended Crafting" for aluminum, a quest in "Extended Crafting" for cobalt, a quest in "Extended Crafting" for brass, a quest in "Extended Crafting" for manyullyn, a quest in "Extended Crafting" for iridium, a quest in "Extended Crafting" for platinum, a quest in "Extended Crafting" for zinc and a quest in "Extended Crafting" for tungsten. The rest of the chapter's quests are in the quest book.^[2]

In the pack's quest book, the ingots from this mod are asked for in the "Extended Crafting" chapter, which is in the "Production" group. The quests below ask you to hand in ingots whose items come from Common Ore Library.^[2]

The ingot quests

Each of these quests has one task: have the ingot in your inventory. The quest book lists no prerequisite quest for any of them.^[2]

• a quest in "Extended Crafting" asks you to hand in Aluminum Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "Extended Crafting" asks you to hand in Brass Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "Extended Crafting" asks you to hand in Cobalt Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "Extended Crafting" asks you to hand in Iridium Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "Extended Crafting" asks you to hand in Manyullyn Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "Extended Crafting" asks you to hand in Platinum Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "Extended Crafting" asks you to hand in Tungsten Ingot.^[2]
• a quest in "Extended Crafting" asks you to hand in Zinc Ingot.^[2]

Where they lead

Every one of these ingot quests is listed before "The one and only" quest, titled "The one and only". That quest asks you to hand in The Ultimate Ingot, and it also lists a very long run of other ingot quests, covering ingots from Minecraft, Thermal, Mekanism, Mystical Agriculture and many other mods.^[2]

Next in line, a quest in "Extended Crafting" (The Ultimate Component) follows "The one and only" together with the Black Iron Slate and Luminessence quests.^[2]
