Chromatic Compound:
Chromatic Compound used to be a legendary resource in the Create Mod. it could be used to make Shadow Steel and Refined Radiance, useful materials in the mod. The recipes no longer exist, but the item does. You cant see it in the creative tab or JEI, but it is possible to get using commands. Here is my recipe for Chromatic Compound:
1: Powdered Obsidian
2: Glowstone Dust
3: Blaze Cake
4: Polished Rose Quartz

You can make Shadow Steel by dropping Chromatic Compound into the large abyss known as the Void.
You can make Refined Radiance by dropping Chromatic Compound into the ray of a beacon.
Secret 1 -- The IT: The IT is a overloaded substance, made by sanding down Chromatic Compound.
Secret 2 -- Specimen: The Specimen is a glitched material, made from Bulk Haunting The IT
Secret 3 -- .'e590jg]: c4mpf1re c0ok
Mechanical Engineer:
The Mechanical Engineer is a unnatural villager, obtained by putting a Compressed Cardboard Block next to a unoccupied villager.
The Mechanical Engineer has trades listed below:
Compressed Cardboard Block x3 >>> Currency x13 (First Level)
Currency x30 >>> MR Conversion Drill x1 (First Level)
Squished Cardboard Block x3 >>> Currency x64 (Second Level)
MR Conversion Drill x1 + Currency x10 >>> MR Conversion Saw x1 (Second Level)
Specimen >>> Currency x64 (Third Level)
Dont mind the model! His name is Gary the Goblin Guzzling Goofy Goober!
The MR Conversional Items
As you probably didn't guess, MR stands for Magic Recipes, which sounds kind of familiar...
Not really much to explain, other than how MCreator is hard to customize.
Heres some Shapeless Crafting Recipes:
Create: Mechanical Drill >>> MR Conversion Drill
MR Conversion Drill >>> Create: Mechanical Drill
Create: Mechanical Saw >>> MR Conversion Saw
MR Conversion Saw >>> Create: Mechanical Saw
Karta Reagent
This reagent can be used to make lava. You can make it in early-game by crafting it like so:
-Shapeless-
- Zinc Ingot
- Gold Ingot
You can also make it with an automation recipe in the late-game by mixing it like so:
Heat Requirement: Superheated
- 100mb of Water
- Obsidian x1
You can make 200 millibuckets of lava with it, by mixing it like so:
Heat Requirement: None
- Flint x1
- Iron Nugget x1
- Karta Reagent x1
If you play Oneblock, this is very useful. If you want to know a secret.... look here:
Heat Requirement: Heated
- Karta Reagent x1
- Netherite Scrap x1
What will the recipe do? Try for yourself! Or just look it up in JEI...
Obviously, I don't have the time to write everything, so look at it yourself. >=}
