Mana Items

Mana ore doesn’t put Mana straight into your account – it drops Mana orbs into your inventory. You bring them into your account at the Furnace Golem. At the crafting table you turn those orbs into further Mana items.

Item Where from What for In ChestShops
Mana orb Mining Mana ore Paying into your account, ingredient for everything else blocked
Mana Charge 9 orbs Storing orbs compactly blocked
Mana Block 8 orbs around a Mana Charge Base of the Furnace Golem, depositing 17 Mana at once blocked
Mana Apple 4 orbs around an apple Buying Forestling blessings, weakening marked mobs for a Mobplate tradable
Empty Mobplate 8 orbs around a Pale Sherd Catching mobs tradable
Mana Shard Full-grown mana crystal in the Mana Geode Turned into Mana at the Furnace Golem blocked

A sparkling pink orb. One orb is one Mana, a stack holds 64.

  • Where from: Mining Mana ore drops 3–5 orbs, up to 20 with Fortune III. Mana ore has a daily limit of 200 Mana.
  • Into your account: Orbs are deposited at the Furnace Golem. Only then does your balance go up. You can also withdraw Mana as orbs there.
  • Passing them on: You can give orbs to other players, by hand or in a chest. Orbs you mined yourself always count in full, other players’ orbs only up to 100 a day.
  • Orbs, Charges, Mana Blocks, Mana Shards and Mana Apples can’t be sold to AI residents.

9 Mana orbs filling the whole crafting grid make one Mana Charge. That way 576 Mana fit into one stack instead of 64.

Recipe: 9 Mana orbs fill the whole grid and make one Mana Charge

You can split a Charge back up at any time: put it alone into the grid – your inventory grid works too – and you get the 9 orbs back. No Mana is lost and none is created.

8 Mana orbs around a Mana Charge make one Mana Block – that’s 17 Mana in one block. It’s the base of every Furnace Golem.

Recipe: Mana Charge in the middle, surrounded by 8 Mana orbs, makes a Mana Block

  • It can’t be crafted back. You deposit a Mana Block at the Furnace Golem – that puts 17 Mana into your account. If you need orbs, you withdraw them there.
  • Place it with a right-click like a normal block. On other islands you need the Build right.
  • Mining it with a pickaxe gives you the block back. With your bare hand it’s gone – and with it 17 Mana.
  • Explosions leave it standing, and pistons push it.

4 Mana orbs around an ordinary apple make one Mana Apple. The corners stay empty.

Recipe: apple in the middle, one Mana orb above, below, left and right, makes the Mana Apple

Apple in the middle, 4 Mana orbs around it

You can’t eat it. It has two jobs:

Hold the Mana Apple and click a Forestling – on Bedrock tap it or sneak in front of it. That’s your yes to its blessing. It works at any time, even in the middle of a conversation. The Forestling takes the apple, holds it for a while and blesses you.

  • The blessing still costs its Mana price – the apple only confirms the purchase.
  • If the purchase can’t go through, for example because you don’t have enough Mana or the Forestling has no blessing, you keep the apple. If something goes wrong after that, you get it back – if you’ve already left, as a parcel the next time you join an island server.

Once you’ve marked a mob with an empty Mobplate, right-clicking it with a Mana Apple takes away half of its hearts. This works once per mob and only on your own marked mob. On an unmarked mob you only get a hint and keep the apple.

Mana Shards grow in the Mana Geode: a mana crystal grows in four stages on Budding Mana Amethyst on the cave floor. Only the full-grown crystal gives a Mana Shard when you mine it – that takes about 40 minutes on average.

Put the shards into a chest or barrel two blocks away from a Furnace Golem – it walks over and fetches them. It turns each shard into 1 Mana for its builder in 2 minutes, up to 20 shards a day. Where the geode is and what to watch out for is under Furnace Golem & Mana Geode.

  • Mana Apples can be bought and sold for Ruby in ChestShops.
  • Mana orbs, Mana Charges, Mana Blocks and Mana Shards are blocked in ChestShops, also inside a shulker box or a bundle.
  • Your Mana balance can never be sent – only Ruby works with /pay.
