Energized Iron
Energized iron gates the advanced_chip and many mid-game machines. It does not spawn as a world ore — you have to grow it or make it.
Sources
Primary — Bountiful Trees (early-game renewable)
The energized iron ore tree is the main source before you have power infrastructure.
- Grow an energized iron sapling on appropriate soil
- Chop the logs with an axe → drops 1–2 raw_energized_iron per log (plus 1 oak_log)
- Smelt
raw_energized_ironin furnace or blast furnace →energized_iron_ingot
Bone meal speeds growth (20% chance per application). A mature tree yields several logs per harvest.
Secondary — Infuser (mid-game automation)
Once you have a powered Infuser:
| Catalyst | Input | Output | Cycles |
|---|---|---|---|
| redstone | iron_ingot | energized_iron_ingot | 4 |
| redstone | iron_dust | energized_iron_dust | 4 |
