Shiny dust/ingot

[irl_goat]

Hi, I just wanted to know if there is any other way to get shiny dust/ingot than pulverizing or searching randomly in the nether?

Thanks in advance !

Hi irl_goat,

As far as I know the most efficient way is to...

Save up nether redstone ore and nether ferrous ore. Smelt and then pulverise the redstone ore to get some cinnabar (and tonnes of redstone dust). Smelt the nether ferrous ore to get plain ferrous ore and then combine that with the cinnabar in an induction smelter to get one shiny ingot per ferrous ore. This moves the bottleneck, in my opinion, to getting enough nether redstone ore to make cinnabar from.

A decent sized nether quarry and a smart processing chain (with or without an AE network) should give you a reasonable amount without too much effort beyond setting it all up. But still, it's a rare material.

All the best.

Thanks alot ^^ I'm going to try the cinnabar method and maybe if i need more i'll set up a quarry.
