How to Make Terrasteel in Botania

Terrasteel is one of the most essential materials in the Botania mod, and crafting it is a crucial step in your magical progression. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the complete process of creating Terrasteel from start to finish, including all the preparation steps and materials you’ll need.

What You’ll Need

Before you begin crafting Terrasteel, gather the following items:

Mana — This can come from a creative mana pool or a normal mana pool

Living Rock — Crafted using pure daisies and blocks of lapis lazuli

Lapis Lazuli Blocks — Four blocks needed for the setup

Mana Steel Ingot — Created by dropping iron ingots into your mana pool

Runes — Fire, Water, Earth, Mana, and Air runes

Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate — The main crafting station for Terrasteel

Wand of the Forest — For connecting mana spreaders

If you’re unfamiliar with making runes or other prerequisites, be sure to check out the complete Botania guide on the channel for detailed instructions.

Setting Up the Living Rock Foundation

Start by placing a block of living rock down as your center point. Then, place additional blocks of living rock in each corner around it. This creates the base structure for your Terrasteel crafting setup.

Next, take your four blocks of lapis lazuli and arrange them around the living rock structure as shown in the tutorial.

Crafting the Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate

The Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate is the heart of your Terrasteel creation. To craft it, you’ll need:

One block of Mana Steel

One Rune of Fire

One Rune of Water

One Rune of Earth

One Rune of Mana

One Rune of Air

Create all these runes using the Rune Altar (refer to the dedicated rune crafting video for detailed instructions), then combine them with the Mana Steel block to create the Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate.

Once crafted, place the Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate in the center of your living rock structure.

Connecting Your Mana Source

Now you need to connect your mana pool to the Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate. Equip your Wand of the Forest and place a Mana Spreader above your nearby mana pool.

To connect the spreader to the plate, hold your Wand of the Forest and shift right-click the Mana Spreader, then shift right-click the Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate. The wand will show the connection, and mana will automatically flow from the spreader into the agglomeration plate whenever it needs mana.

Alternative: Using Sparks

If you prefer not to use a Mana Spreader, you can use Sparks instead. Simply place Sparks above your mana pools and above the Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate. The Sparks will automatically transfer mana from the pools to the plate as needed.

Creating the Terrasteel Ingot

With your Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate set up and receiving mana, you’re ready to create Terrasteel. You’ll need to craft three items first:

Mana Steel Ingot

Drop an iron ingot into your mana pool. With sufficient mana, it will transform into a Mana Steel Ingot.

Mana Diamond

Drop a diamond into your mana pool to create a Mana Diamond.

Mana Pearl

Drop an ender pearl into your mana pool to create a Mana Pearl.

Once you have all three items (Mana Steel Ingot, Mana Diamond, and Mana Pearl), drop them onto the Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate. As long as mana is being supplied to the plate, it will begin the crafting process and produce a Terrasteel Ingot.

Mana Requirements

Be aware that creating one Terrasteel Ingot consumes approximately half of a normal mana pool’s worth of mana. Plan your mana production accordingly if you need to craft multiple Terrasteel Ingots.

Conclusion

You’ve now learned how to create Terrasteel in Botania! This powerful material is essential for crafting advanced magical tools and armor. Remember, the key steps are setting up your living rock foundation, crafting the Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate, connecting your mana source, and then combining your three prepared items to create the Terrasteel Ingot. With practice, you’ll be mass-producing Terrasteel in no time.
