🔥 The Gem Forge
The Gem Forge is an altar where a jeweller works on your items, in front of everyone. It lights the area around it.
What you can do
Stand in front of the forge. A panel at eye height shows what you can do with the item you hold.
| You hold | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| A weapon, armour, tool or bow | Right-click | Lays it on the forge |
| A gem (an item is on the forge) | Right-click | Socket the gem, with the ritual |
| 3 identical gems | Sneak + right-click | Fuses them into one gem of the next level |
| A Socket Drill | Right-click | Drills a socket in the item on the forge |
| A Gem Extractor | Right-click | Takes out the gem you are looking at |
| An Unidentified Gem | Right-click | Appraises it |
| Nothing | Right-click | Takes your item back |
| Nothing | Sneak + right-click | Opens the upgrade menu |
Choosing a socket: when an item has several sockets, look at the one you want. The chosen one is marked in the panel.
While your item lies on a forge, only you can work on it or take it back.
The perfect strike
During the ritual, a ring closes around the gem. Click the forge when it turns gold. A perfect strike adds +15% to your chance. If you miss, the normal chance applies, so you lose nothing by trying.
Fusing gems
Hold a stack of 3 identical gems (same gem and same level) and sneak + right-click the forge. You get one gem of the next level.
Forge levels
A forge can be upgraded twice. A better forge adds to the chance of every socketing done on it. Sneak + right-click with an empty hand to open the upgrade menu.
| Level | Name | Bonus | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gem Forge | - | - |
| 2 | Obsidian Forge | +5% | 16 obsidian, 32 amethyst shards, 4 diamonds, 10 XP levels |
| 3 | Celestial Forge | +10% | 2 netherite ingots, 1 nether star, 2 diamond blocks, 30 XP levels |
These are the default values. Your server may have changed them.
Placing and removing a forge
- Place: right-click the top of a block with a Gem Forge item. You can buy one from a jeweller.
- Remove: players with the permission can sneak + left-click it to get the item back.
- Forges show on the locator bar, so players can find them.
