Getting Started

Minecraft: Reloaded adds a large amount of new content to the game, and some of it might be a bit challenging to comprehend or get around.

## First Steps

The very first thing you should be making is the Advanced Crafting Table. This table allows you to craft the majority of the new items introduced in the pack. If desired, you can also make the Advanced Brewing Stand and Smeltery right away, as they will also be very handy for crafting the new items. Each one of these blocks will require one Diamond and one Dispenser to use, so a bit of mining or exploring will need to take place before diving into the new content.

After that, the Ore Factory will be one of your most valuable items. The Ore Factory generates vanilla ores as well as four new materials: Energetic Dust, Universal Dust, Small Uranium Chunk, and Resonant Dust. These materials are used greatly throughout the pack, so be sure to stock up on these.

## Some additional utilities

A new feature of this datapack is the ability to craft Spawners. Spawners are useful for getting mob loot, but they are also necessary to get the Boss Altar Items. More information about that will be down the road.

Ore Factories also have a low chance to generate Gem Vaults. These loot crates have a chance to contain any of the four new crystals: Vibrant Crystal, Alchemical Crystal, Blazing Crystal, Solar Crystal. These crystals, much like the other drops from the Ore Factory, are used widely throughout the pack. Be sure to stock up on these.

There are plenty of new machines added by the pack to make life simpler and easier. Some notable ones include the Weather Controller, the Auto Farmer, the Auto Fisher, or the Automatic Cobblestone Generator.

Devices are unique tools that have a variety of effects when used. Some notable ones include the Warp Drive, the Fireball Launcher, the Water Injector, or the TNT Launcher.

## Increasing Production

Soon enough, you may or may not need more materials. Ore Factories only produce ores once every 90 seconds, which can be slow for some people. One suggestion is to simply craft more Ore Factories. Another alternative is to craft the Ore Fracking Device. This machine runs faster than an Ore Factory, and produces more ores per cycle. Although it is more expensive, by the time you are ready to make one you should have a decent amount of items from your current Ore Factory.

Auto farms such as the Automatic Tree Farm, Auto Fisher, Auto Farmer, or Automatic Cobblestone Generator help to produce renewable materials that can normally be tedious or boring to produce.

## The Boss

If you've dealt with the crafted Spawners before, you may have noticed that there are rare versions of mobs that spawn from the spawners. These rare mobs have a 25% chance to drop a Boss Altar Item, which is a necessary item to craft the Boss Altar. The Boss Altar is the spawning block for the Ethereal Subjugator, the main boss of the datapack. More information about this boss can be found on his page.

Upon successful defeat of the boss, you will be given access to Spectral-Tier equipment and machines, which are very powerful and make for a worthy reward. Note that if you are in a multiplayer world, the Subjugator will most likely have to be fought multiple times for everyone to have Spectral gear.
