Basic Bearing
Basic Bearing is the early rotating-joint part of Ala Industrial: four nickel plates, four iron nuggets and one stone gear craft into four bearings at once.
Description
Two recipes consume Basic Bearing. Two Basic Bearings braced with two Reinforced Bronze Plates around an Electrum Gear become one Reinforced Bearing — the stronger joint that later machines ask for. One Basic Bearing set between four iron ingots and an Iron Gear becomes the Iron Grinding Blades of the Recycler. The bearing line also gives work to parts that used to idle: before Ala Industrial added bearings, the Stone Gear and the Nickel Plate had no consumer recipe at all. The mod runs on Minecraft 26.2 Java Edition with both Fabric and NeoForge loaders; no Bedrock version exists.

Java Edition Guide
How to craft Basic Bearing in Ala Industrial
-
1
Collect the nickel plates
Mine nickel ore and process the metal into four Nickel Plates — the outer race of the future bearing.
-
2
Prepare the small parts
Gather four Iron Nuggets for the rolling elements and one Stone Gear for the centre of the recipe.
-
3
Craft four bearings
At a crafting table, place the Nickel Plates in the corners, the Iron Nuggets on the edges and the Stone Gear in the centre; one craft returns four Basic Bearings.
-
4
Spend the bearings
Use two Basic Bearings for one Reinforced Bearing, or combine one Basic Bearing with four iron ingots and an Iron Gear into the Iron Grinding Blades of the Recycler.
The Basic Bearing recipe needs only a vanilla crafting table, so stock up before the powered machines arrive — one craft already covers the two bearings a Reinforced Bearing needs.
