Zinc

Zinc is a material found in the overworld. It spawns naturally as zinc ore and can be smelted into ingots or crushed into Crushed Zinc Ore.

Items

•  Zinc Ingot — an item created by smelting zinc ore or crushed zinc ore.
•  Crushed Zinc Ore — an item obtained by crushing zinc ore or zinc blocks. Can be smelted into zinc ingots or washed into zinc nuggets.
•  Zinc Nugget — an item that can be crafted into a zinc ingot. Can be used to craft the Andesite Alloy.
•  Brass Ingot — a material used in many recipes. Obtained by mixing Copper and Zinc.
•  Crushed Brass — an item that can be smelted into brass ingot.

Blocks

•  Zinc Ore — an ore found underground, and an item obtained by mining it. Can be smelted into zinc ingots or crushed into crushed zinc ore.
•  Block of Zinc — a block used for compact zinc storage, and to create the base/pyramid for a beacon.
•  Andesite — a naturally generated block, used in many recipes.

Trivia

• By far the most effective way to process Zinc ore is first use a pair of Crushing Wheels, by doing this you can have an extra 30% chance to get 2 more crushed Zinc instead of the usual 1, then use Bulk Washing on the Crushed Zinc to get 10 Zinc Nuggets per Crushed Zinc and a chance to get 5 more Nuggets, then craft the nuggets into ingots with Auto Packing or crafting.
