Bronze Plate is the flat bronze blank of the Ala Industrial mod and the first step of turning alloy into rolled stock for heavy parts. One bronze ingot yields one Bronze Plate through either of two routes: hammer the ingot by hand with a Forge Hammer on a crafting table, which needs no energy and works before the first generator is running, or let the Compressor stamp the same ingot into a plate for 260 EU (2 EU per tick over 130 ticks). The bronze ingot itself comes only from the Alloy Smelter, which melts 3 copper ingots plus 1 tin ingot into 2 bronze ingots per 1200 EU operation lasting 150 ticks — bronze ore does not exist, and a vanilla furnace cannot make the alloy. Both plate recipes read their input through the common c:ingots/bronze tag, so a bronze ingot from another mod in Minecraft 26.2 Java Edition works exactly like the mod's own.

Bronze Plate feeds exactly one target: two plates forge into one Reinforced Bronze Plate, the blank for heavy parts — again with the hammer on the crafting table or in the Compressor (2 plates in, 1 out, the same 260 EU), so the reinforced tier costs twice the metal rather than more energy. No road leads back: Ala Industrial has no bronze dust, and the Macerator accepts no alloy plates, so each plate is spent metal. Bronze Plate stacks to 64, carries the c:plates/bronze tag for cross-mod recipes, and exists only in Minecraft Java Edition 26.2 on the Fabric and NeoForge loaders — no Bedrock build of the mod exists. Bronze is the cheapest of the mod's alloys at 600 EU per ingot, which makes Bronze Plate the natural place to learn plate rolling before scaling the same workflow to invar, cupronickel, and electrum.
