Essence is a mod that adds new armor and tools. These are upgraded from netherite, in the same way diamond upgrades to netherite.

To get an essence ingot, you must first create a diamond essence, an emerald essence, then a netherite essence which can all be done by brewing.

After that, you must combine them to create ore essence.

Next, you need to create 3 cheap netherite ingots.

After that, you need to use Silk Touch to get an amethyst cluster. Then, you can use your cheap netherite and more quartz, along with the amethyst cluster to craft 4 quartzite.

This is an amethyst cluster

Then, you can use the quartzite and an ore essence to make a quartzite essence.

Finally, use your quartzite essence in a crafting table with a netherite ingot to make an essence ingot.

The last step is to get an Essence upgrade. This can be done in 2 ways. The first way is to craft it using a netherite upgrade.

The second way is to duplicate it if you already have an upgrade.

Now you can finally make essence armor! This can be done by putting any netherite equipment into a smithing table along with an essence upgrade and an essence ingot.

This is the basic guide to Essence. Questions in the comments.
