How To Make Alumentum In Thaumcraft 6

Alumentum is an essential crafting material in Thaumcraft 6, and the good news is that it is surprisingly straightforward to make once you know the right ingredients. In this guide, we will walk you through exactly what you need and how to craft it step by step using the Crucible.

What You Need To Make Alumentum

Before you start, open your Thaumonomicon and navigate to the Alumentum chapter. Here you will find the full recipe breakdown. Alumentum requires the following Aspects to be present in your Crucible:

10 Ignis

10 Potentia

5 Praedatio

Catalyst: Coal

The great thing about this recipe is that the ingredients map almost perfectly to common items you likely already have in your inventory:

Coal provides 10 Potentia and 10 Ignis — covering two of the three required Aspects.

Sand provides exactly 5 Praedatio — covering the third required Aspect perfectly.

An additional piece of Coal is then thrown in as the Catalyst to trigger the reaction.

How To Craft Alumentum In The Crucible

Step 1: Add Coal To The Crucible

Start by throwing a piece of Coal into your Crucible. This will dissolve and add 10 Potentia and 10 Ignis to the Crucible’s Aspect pool.

Step 2: Add Sand To The Crucible

Next, throw a piece of Sand into the Crucible. Sand dissolves to contribute exactly 5 Praedatio, which is precisely the amount required by the recipe.

Step 3: Add Coal As The Catalyst

Finally, throw another piece of Coal into the Crucible. This piece acts as the Catalyst, triggering the reaction and producing your Alumentum. To recap the full recipe in one sequence: one piece of Coal for the Aspects, one piece of Sand for Praedatio, and one additional piece of Coal as the Catalyst.

Making Multiple Alumentum At Once

If you want to produce more Alumentum quickly, the process is easily repeatable. Simply keep repeating the same sequence — throw in Coal, then Sand, then Coal as the Catalyst. Any leftover Aspects remaining in the Crucible from a previous batch can even contribute towards your next piece, so you may find that you get an extra Alumentum without needing to add all the ingredients again from scratch.

Following this method, you can quickly build up a healthy stock of Alumentum — for example, running through the cycle a few times in quick succession can net you five or more pieces with minimal effort.

Summary

Making Alumentum in Thaumcraft 6 is one of the simpler Crucible recipes in the mod. All you need is Coal (for Ignis and Potentia), Sand (for Praedatio), and a second piece of Coal as the Catalyst. Repeat the process as many times as needed to stock up.
