Amber and Silence

Mine rare resources, build an industrial workshop, program your own computer—and keep an eye on the darkness.

Amber and Silence combines exploration, crafting, early industrial technology and a touch of horror. Discover new minerals, turn them into equipment and alloys, build machines, and experiment with redstone through a programmable computer. But be careful when exploring dark places: something may be watching you.

Discover new resources

Explore the Overworld and collect ruby, amber, tin, nickel, silver, tungsten, zinc and cobalt.

The metallic ores can be found in both stone and deepslate. Mine them to obtain raw metals, then smelt them into ingots for equipment and crafting. Ruby and amber also have their own blocks and uses.

Craft tools, weapons and armor

Turn your discoveries into swords, pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes and armor. Materials have different durability, effectiveness, protection and enchantability, giving you several options as you progress.

Equipment materials include ruby, amber, tin, nickel, silver, tungsten, zinc, cobalt and bronze.

Build an industrial workshop

Some creations need more than a regular crafting table.

The Industrial Crafting Table has its own exclusive recipes and an in-game recipe book. Use it to assemble advanced components and machines through several crafting steps.

The Alloy Mixer combines two ingots into a new material. It has its own interface, recipe book and progress indicator, and keeps its contents when you close the interface.

Available mixer alloys include:

• Brass — copper and zinc

• Cobalt Alloy — iron and cobalt

• Electrum — gold and silver

• Invar — iron and nickel

• Cupronickel — copper and nickel

• Tungsten Steel — iron and tungsten

You can also craft bronze from copper and tin.

Program an Industrial Computer

Build a display, memory module and processor, then assemble them into an Industrial Computer.

Open its interface to write, save and run basic Lua programs. You can display text, perform calculations, use conditions and short loops, and interact with redstone inputs and outputs.

For example:

print("Hello, Minecraft!")
redstone.setOutput("east", true)

The computer currently supports a limited subset of Lua. Programs run once when started; background programs, custom functions, tables, files and peripherals are not yet available.

Face the Guardian of Silence

The Guardian of Silence is a hostile creature found in dark areas of the Overworld. It remains still while a player watches it, but can move and attack when no one is looking.

Defeating a Guardian may reward you with a Frozen Shard. Combine it with amber and a lantern to craft the Stasis Lantern, which can temporarily immobilize nearby visible Guardians.

Decorate your base

Give your workshop or base its own style with storage blocks, decorative bricks and panels, lamps, and a bouncy amber block.
