Alum is a mineral that is primarily used for creating dyes.

Crushed alum

Creation

Alum can be found as an ore in sedimentary rock. Alum chunks may also be sold by the commodities trader. Mining a block of alum produces alum chunks.

Usage

Alum chunks must first be crushed in a pulverizer to produce crushed alum. Crushed alum may be mixed with water in a barrel to produce diluted alum, which is necessary to produce nearly all dyes.
