Embers is best described as a dwarven magic mod. It features a smattering of magical and technical content, from staples such as ore doubling and item transport to alchemy and magical ray guns. All centered around the core mechanic of Ember, a limited form of power that you must extract from the world's core near bedrock.
Hold up
Why is there two pages for Embers?
Initially we wanted to make Embers Rekindled available on the main Embers Curseforge page, but eventually we figured it would be better to make it a seperate project akin to Roots Classic.
Will my worlds be compatible?
Your worlds will be compatible with Embers Rekindled, as Rekindled will use the same Embers modid. Embers 2, the project that will be hosted on the main Embers curseforge page will not be compatible with your worlds.
Wait, Embers 2? Modid?
Embers 2 will likely have a different modid until 1.13, at which point the Embers Rekindled modid will change to something else and Embers 2 will receive the old Embers modid back. This is because worlds will likely not survive into 1.13 anyway.
Whats the difference between Embers Rekindled and original Embers?
Latest Embers version: Oct 30, 2017
Earliest Embers Rekindled version: Aug 14, 2018
Please stop putting this question in my comment section I beg you
Can I use Embers Rekindled if my world previously had original Embers?
Yes.
Do I need to remove the original Embers?
Yes.
Can you add X?
Maybe, but there's a much greater chance if you put your suggestion on the issue tracker.
The Codex is bad!
Maybe, but it could be improved if you put some suggestions on the issue tracker.
Does this work with Aetherworks?
Yes, but the Twitch Launcher will pull the wrong dependency and you'll need to disable/delete the original Embers from your list.
Clarification: As of 30th April '20 there is no Embers 2 Release, so no, you are not using Embers 2.

Spotlights
There is now a (not fully completed) text guide, graciously provided by Alator.
Apologies if this is inconvenient for you to answer, but would installing Embers post world generation allow the mod to work, aside from generating the ores the mod adds? LIke in a chunk that was already generate, would I be able to extract ember from it?
In reply to deergodwrath:
Ores will not generate in existing chunks but you will be able to extract embers in existing chunks
Many of the codex entries leave much to be desired in terms of descriptiveness, and the entries on how alchemy works are especially guilty of this offence. Would you be open to accepting a community submitted codex entry to replace a current one, and if so, is there a specific file format I should use and where should I submit it for review?
In reply to bigheals:
You can open pull requests here
Codex entries themselves are all lang entries (see here) and the structure itself (pages, item icons) are defined in code
In reply to BordListian:
So to propose a change to the codex, I make a github account and then edit the page in that second link?
In reply to bigheals:
It might be quite complicated if you've never done it before, so you could also just dm me the entries if you want
How do you get the mini boiler to produce steam regularly? My Actuator is full, my reservoir is full, my pump is full, and my mini boiler is about 1/4 full, but does not produce steam. It ran for a short bit, but then stopped, how do you get it started again? Does it only run when the Actuator is actively burning shards and crystals?
In reply to theanasole:
Yes, mini boilers will only produce steam if the attached machine is producing/consuming ember
In reply to BordListian:
Thanks for the confirmation. So much for having an efficient steam engine if you have to continuously siphon off unused energy to keep it running. Back to charcoal and water.
Woah. An update. Thank you!
Hello, I was just curious in regards to something. I am trying to set up my ember bore so that It will automatically fuel itself using ember grit, but I was wondering what the fuel usage on the ember bore is exactly? How much 'mileage' will I get for one piece of coal and for one piece of ember grit? It seems like they have the same fuel values (1 grit smelts as much as 1 coal), so I assume the ember boar uses them at the same rate.
In reply to kuribohnyan:
yes but grit you get doesnt power a bore by itself

you can power it with ash and grit tho!
In reply to majijn:
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the heads up!
Hello, i am looking for the entity id for the ember essence (the ball of ember that flys from the transmitter to the receiver.) i am trying to setup a private mod pack and am trying to make it glow using the mod "colored lux" as i think it would make some really cool color effects.
Also if there is any other sort of entity or block related to ember essence could you please share its id as well while you are at it.
In reply to lilcanvr:
THERE YOU ARE i was trying to contact you to answer!

i was so annoyed too because it only took me 4 minutes to respond to your last message but youd already left
I'm playing on this mod and I was wondering how each metal compares to the other when it comes to making tools. right now I have an overabundance of copper and am considering using it for tools as I'm low on iron. is copper as strong as iron?
In reply to magmabot16:
Copper tend to be the tier between stone and iron, it has a slightly lower speed and durability unless changed by a modpack. It would make for a decent alt tool till you have enough iron. I would recommend dawnstone if you have it as i do believe its similar to diamond level.
Good afternoon. Wanted to find out if there would be a bug fix? When I put the amber meter on any battery, I don’t see the number of stored amber. This is connected with the use of the Russian language in the game. If you fixed this in one of the updates, I would be very grateful to you.
Sorry for my English.
i don't think this mod and wizerdry (a new magic system mod not to be confused with eletablob wizardry.) are comparable because wizardry removes bedrock from the game. just wish to confirm if i need bedrock to gather ember.
