Titanium is a metal found in ilmenite ore. Ilmenite is used to craft refractory bricks .

Obtaining

Ilmenite ore can be found in almost all metamorphic and igneous rock types: phyllite, slate, andesite, basalt, granite, peridotite, and kimberlite. It is a deep ore , meaning it does not have shallow deposits or loose stones on the surface.

Ilmenite deposits generate at an elevation between 0.05 and 0.85 of sea level . In a world with default height settings, this ranges from Y = 6 to Y = 94. The deposit is disc-shaped with a radius of 0 to 16 blocks. Ilmenite has 2 tries per chunk to generate, making it very rare.[1] It also receives a depth bonus, meaning that ores have a chance to be 1 grade higher at lower elevations (0% chance at sea level, 100% chance at Y = 0).[2]

A Tier 5 pickaxe (steel ) or an ore blasting bomb is required to mine ilmenite ore.

Processing

Pulverizing

Ilmenite nuggets can be turned into crushed ilmenite in a pulverizer equipped with Tier 4 pounder caps (steel). 1 ilmenite nugget has a 30% chance to turn into 1 crushed ilmenite. On average, every 10 ilmenite nuggets will yield 3 crushed ilmenite.

Casting

Titanium has a melting point of 1668°C. While ilmenite can technically be cast into ingot molds , there are currently no fuels that reach the necessary temperature. Titanium ingots and titanium bits are therefore unobtainable in normal gameplay.

Usage

Crushed ilmenite is used to craft the highest tier of refractory bricks .

Unfired refractory brick (Tier 3)







Tier 3 refractory brick blocks have the highest heat resistance, with a 0.1%[3] (1 in 1000) chance to break per damage calculation. Refractory brick blocks are required for building a cementation furnace , and optional for a beehive kiln .

History

Version Description
1.12.5 The size of ilmenite ore deposits was reduced.
1.14.0 rc.1 Crushed ilmenite was introduced.
rc.4 The amount of crushed ilmenite obtained from pulverizing rich and bountiful ore was increased to 2.
1.18.0 pre.1 A depth bonus for ilmenite ore generation was added. The pulverizer input for crushed ilmenite was changed to ilmenite nuggets. The amount of crushed ilmenite obtained was decreased to 0.3.
