Place a row of your unwaxed Corundum blocks on the floor. Leave exactly , as this is the maximum height a natural Corundum tower will grow. Step 3: Install the Observer and Piston Array
To maximize efficiency, treat Corundum farming like a vertical sugarcane or amethyst farm.
Y+2: Air (cluster grows here) Y+1: Budding Corundum Block (facing up) Y+0: Piston facing up + Redstone clock beneath Side: Water stream flowing into hopper line quark corundum farm
: These can be made from corundum and powered by redstone to color beacon beams. : Corundum is also a component in recipes like the Quark Chisel redstone automation required to harvest these blocks automatically?
No video, but here’s a simple schematic layout: Place a row of your unwaxed Corundum blocks on the floor
Corundum is one of the most visually striking and mechanically vital resources introduced by the popular mod. Found deep underground as glowing, crystal-like clusters, this block is essential for automating redstone systems and upgrading your late-game infrastructure.
Corundum blocks (formerly known as Cave Crystals) are brightly colored, semi-translucent crystal structures that generate naturally within non-ocean overworld caves. They spawn in 16 variations matching standard Minecraft dye colors. Corundum exists in two forms: Y+2: Air (cluster grows here) Y+1: Budding Corundum
Place a solid block behind the Clusters. On top of that block, place a Piston facing the area where the crystal will grow (usually at the second-block height).
: A single Corundum source block will slowly grow a column upwards, up to 3 or 4 blocks high .
Place a lever on the dispenser. When water hits the cluster, it will grow. Harvest the crystal with a pickaxe and reuse the dispenser to reset.
Place an Observer block at the very top of the growth limit (Y+4). The Observer should face downward, monitoring the space where the fourth crystal block appears.
