Minecraft: Thaumcraft - Tutorial for beginners

Thaumcraft gives Minecraft a mystical environment with many new items. Here is a small tutorial for getting started in mod.

Thaumcraft Tutorial # 1: Building Magic Wand and Research Table

Thaumcraft giled all items from Minecraft into 6 basic elements and 42 subordinate elements, which are listed in the game under the term "Aspects". Using these, new things can be created or new skills learned.

• To be able to start at all you need the magic wand. To do this, open the workbench, place two iron caps in diagonally opposite corners and place one stick in the middle. The rod is done.
• The next step is to create the reasearch table. The recipe is simple: arrange 3 wooden slabs and 2 wooden blocks as shown in the picture on the right.
• Make a total of three of these tables. Place one alone in a suitable place. The other two must stand side by side.
• Place the "Scribing Tools" on the separate table. Now the texture of the tables changes: The Research Table is now finished.
• Then right-click on the individual table with the magic wand. This creates the Arcane Workbench, on which you can craft all other Thaumcraft-specific items.

Thaumcraft Tutorial # 2: Craft and scan thaumometers

• With the thaumometer, you can examine blocks, items and NPCs of all kinds for aspects and then collect them.
• To craft this tool you need 2 gold bars, 1 glass block and 2 shards. Shards, in German: "Shards", can be found in mines and caves. They are generated in ore blocks in 5 different colors. The color is not important for this recipe.
• Place the glass block in the middle, the gold bars above and below, and the shards on the right and left. Remove the thaumometer from the workbench and start scanning with this tool.
• The scanning process is very simple. Hold the thaumometer while holding the right mouse button on an object. Now the magic symbols of the aspects explained above appear. The aspects are saved in the research table. If no symbol appears, it means that you have not yet researched certain aspects.

Thaumcraft Tutorial # 3: Research new items and aspects

• Researching new aspects does not require that much effort. Open the Research Table and simply try combinations of two different basic elements (Primal Aspects). With a little luck, a new aspect will emerge, with which you can continue your research. The two boxes under the Aspect symbols are intended for this.
• If you have completed all the steps so far, the foundation stone has already been laid. Now you can use the Thaumino icon to explore the mystical world of Thaumcraft down to its deepest roots.
• The Thauminomicon is a comprehensive encyclopedia that shows you the way to all kinds of newly learned skills.
• You will receive the book if you put down an ordinary bookshelf and "enchant" it with a right-click with the magic wand.

If you master the basics, all possibilities are now open to you in the game. For example, build and use an altar as explained in the next article.
