Fool's Gold Shards & Armor Overview

To obtain Fool's Gold, you must first gather all 16 Fool’s Gold Shards. These shards are essential for crafting Fool’s Gold armor, the first step toward forging the legendary Celestial Gearforged Armor.

Shard Breakdown

Total Shards Required: 16
- Shards 1–3: Dropped by specific mobs
- Shard 4: Found in loot chests

4 shards per armor piece (Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, Boots)
Shard Types: Labeled 1 through 4

Important: Shards only drop on player kills. Mob vs. mob or environmental deaths will not yield shards.

Shard-Mob Drop Table

Each of the following mobs drops a unique shard (1–3):Zombie, Skeleton, Drowned, Witch, Piglin, Pillager, Ravager, Evoker, Vindicator, Villager, Trader Llama, Iron GolemEach mob is tied to one specific shard, and no mob drops more than one type.

Why Are the Shards Important?

Shards are combined to craft the Fool’s Gold Armor.
When damaged, Fool’s Gold Armor crumbles into Fool’s Gold Scrap.
Scrap can be:

Used to recraft Fool’s Gold armor
Crafted into Fool’s Gold armor, tools, blocks, and Fool’s Gold Liquid

Find the Moulds

Moulds are rare loot chest drops
Each equipment piece (Helmet, Chestplate, etc.) and tool has a unique mould
You’ll need the correct mould to shape each item

Celestial GearFroged Armor and Tools

The Celestial Gearforged Set is the pinnacle of equipment, offering unbreakable durability and powerful abilities. But obtaining it is no small feat — it requires rare materials, boss battles, and a multi-step crafting process.

Step 1: Gather Fool’s Gold Ingots

Fool’s Gold Ingots are obtained by:

Smelting and crafting Fool’s Gold Scrap
Scrap is dropped when Fool’s Gold Armor takes damage and breaks down

This forms the base metal required for Celestial crafting.

Step 2: Acquire the Six Celestial Gems

Each gem is tied to a major in-game boss or rare loot:

Ferrite Heartstone is obtained from killing the Warden
Aetherium Prism is obtained from killing the Ender Dragon

Aquarion Shard is obtained from killing the Elder Guardian

Pyrocite Core is obtained from killing the Wither

Luminite Spark and Obscurium Crystal are obtained from loot chests

All six are required to craft the Divine Imbuement Gem.

Step 2: Acquire the Winged Sandals

The winged Sandals can be bought from the wandering trader and have a wonderful ability.

Celestial Gearforged Equipment Features

Unbreakable: Never takes durability damage
Passive & Active Abilities: Vary by item
One-time Investment: Extremely rare but permanent gear

Worth the grind, and the ultimate reward for adventurers and builders alike.

Building Blocks – Expand Your Palette

Steamcraft adds a wide array of building and decorative blocks, giving builders more flexibility, texture variety, and style options.

Decorative blocks: Can be placed in the world to bring more life to it, and will be great for those interiors everyone hates doingStructural Building Blocks: There are many blocks used in building; however, some don't have many options. Steamcraft adds to those with new cobbled variants of concrete, as well as new snow and ice blocks.Alongside the everyday blocks we use, there is a series of blocks called Ancient. Currently, they can be obtained threw the create mod using the glimmerstone cobble gen mechanic. This will be further integrated into the mod in future updates. till then, the Create Mod is a great medium to achieve this.Glimmerstone is obtained by using the foolsgold liquid and water to create a cobble gen.

Arcane Blocks & Traps – Divinitite Tier Magic

Once you reach the Divinitite alloy, you will be able to create a series of powerful blocks. Originally, these blocks were meant for traps and games; however, they can also be used for everyday use.

The Arcane Blocks give the player buffs, positive, negative, or neutral. They cover all the Minecraft standard effects as well as several new ones. By using the trap concealer tool, you can hide the Arcane blocks so they are hidden among your build.

When redstone signals are applied to arcane blocks or the Power Precision Block is next to an Arcane Block, it will increase the power of the Arcane to a max of 15. Other wise the power precision blocks basic function is to output redstone signals

Upgrading the Arcane blocks will allow you to create Cursed blocks. These blocks have multiple effects and work in a set area carefully, where you place them; you might need the protection of the void?

Aether Coil Blocks – Mysteries on the Other Side

Aether Coil Blocks are great for decoration, and if you use the Pattern Recompiler Tool, you will be able to reconfigure your Aether blocks

Aether blocks, when walked on, will slightly increase your speed

You can craft portals with some of the Aether blocks to go to other dimensions. Currently, the Void is accessible threw the Black Aether Coils and using the Obscurium Crystal as a catalyst to light. In addition to the Green Ather Coil Blocks, which utilize the Ferrite Heartstone, further dimensions are planned for the future.

Path Blocks – To Speed or Not to Speed

By using the Trowel or the celestial tool, you're able to create new path blocks, much like the shovel does; however, these path blocks slightly increase your speed.
