Hexorium Monolith

Name	Hexorium Monolith
Source Mod	HEXCraft
Type	Unprocessed Hexorium
Stackable	Yes (64)
Added:	v0.1.0

Hexorium Monolith is crystallized ore of Hexorium out of which the crystals can be obtained. The monoliths are added by HEXCraft.

Obtaining

Natural Generation

Hexorium Monoliths spawn naturally in the Overworld and can easily be identified by their hexagonal shape and characteristic glow-in-dark effect. For the counterpart that spawns in the Nether, visit the Hexorium Nether Monolith page. The spawning is done using a custom algorithm which prevents the monoliths from ever spawning inside rock and creating pockets of air. The monoliths will always spawn inside caves either on floor or ceiling. Do note that if no suitable spawn place is identified, a monolith might not spawn at all. White and Black monoliths have a way lower chance to spawn than other colors. The table below shows the spawning rates.

The monoliths can be mined using an Iron Pickaxe or greater. When mined without Silk Touch, the monoliths will drop raw Hexorium crystals. Crystal drop rate is increased depending on Fortune enchant applied to the pick. The table below lists the different drop rates. Again, White and Black monoliths have lower drop rates.

Usage

Processing

Monoliths gathered using Silk Touch can be processed using the Crystal Separator. This kind of processing eliminates the random drop rates and makes the crystals always drop at same rates. These rates are higher than the maximum when using Fortune.

Name	Ingredients	Crystal Separator recipe
Red Hexorium Crystal	Red Hexorium Monolith	16
Green Hexorium Crystal	Green Hexorium Monolith	16
Blue Hexorium Crystal	Blue Hexorium Monolith	16
White Hexorium Crystal	White Hexorium Monolith	12
Black Hexorium Crystal	Black Hexorium Monolith	12

Lore

Hexorium Monoliths are similar to Hexorium Ore, but are actually highly concentrated pure Hexorium. This gives them the form of large hexagonal monoliths, sometimes seen throughout the caves. They are much more rare than the ore, as they occur only under very high pressure.
