Description

Deepslate Tin Ore is the deepslate-hosted variant of Tin Ore in Ala Industrial for Minecraft 26.2: wherever a tin vein from the Y −16…64 band reaches deepslate, the ore generates in this harder dark form instead of the stone one. Tin is the most common of the mod's metals and shares copper's height range — roughly twelve veins per chunk of up to eight blocks — so deep mining trips meet these blocks regularly. Deepslate Tin Ore breaks with a stone pickaxe or better (wooden and golden pickaxes drop nothing) and drops one Raw Tin: Fortune multiplies the drop, while Silk Touch returns the ore block itself for machine processing. Two processing routes lead out of one Deepslate Tin Ore block. Smelt the ore or its Raw Tin drop in a furnace or blast furnace for a single Tin Ingot, or grind either form in the Macerator for 300 EU into two Tin Dust and smelt each dust in the Electric Furnace for 200 EU — double the metal per block. Tin then anchors the LV tier (low voltage, up to 32 EU/t): three ingots craft three Tin Cable carrying 8 EU/t, the Alloy Smelter combines three copper ingots with one tin ingot into two Bronze Ingots for 1,200 EU, tin plates fold into eight Empty Cans, and two ingots over four planks build the Industrial Workbench.

How to mine and process deepslate tin in Ala Industrial

  1. 1

    Mine deep with a stone pickaxe

    Tin generates between Y −16 and Y 64 in the same band as copper, in veins of up to eight blocks. Wherever a vein passes through deepslate, the ore appears as Deepslate Tin Ore; bring a stone pickaxe or better, since wooden and golden ones drop nothing.

  2. 2

    Collect the raw drop

    Each block drops one Raw Tin. Fortune multiplies the drop, while Silk Touch returns the ore block itself — useful when you plan to macerate the whole block.

  3. 3

    Double the yield with machines

    Feed the ore block or the Raw Tin to the Macerator (300 EU) for two Tin Dust, then smelt each dust in the Electric Furnace (200 EU) — two Tin Ingots per block instead of one.

  4. 4

    Craft the LV-tier components

    Three Tin Ingots make three Tin Cable that carry 8 EU/t, two ingots over four planks build the Industrial Workbench, and the Alloy Smelter turns three copper ingots plus one tin ingot into two Bronze Ingots.

  5. 5

    Renew your surplus

    The Incubator in duplicate mode turns one Tin Ingot into two with a 55 percent chance per attempt at 4,000 EU, so tin stays renewable even after the veins run dry.

Important

Tin Dust has no vanilla furnace or blasting recipe, so build the Electric Furnace before committing ore to the doubled route. The deepslate variant is harder to break than stone Tin Ore (4.5 versus 3.0 hardness) but yields the same drops.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Deepslate Tin Ore spawn?

In the deep part of tin's ore band between Y −16 and Y 64, wherever a tin vein cuts through deepslate instead of stone. Tin is the most common of Ala Industrial's metals, so the deepslate variant turns up regularly on deep mining trips.

What pickaxe do you need for Deepslate Tin Ore?

A stone pickaxe or better. Wooden and golden pickaxes break the block without dropping anything, and the deepslate form takes longer to mine than the stone variant (4.5 versus 3.0 hardness).

How many ingots does one Deepslate Tin Ore give?

Smelting the block or its Raw Tin drop yields one Tin Ingot. Grinding either form into two Tin Dust in the Macerator (300 EU) and smelting both in the Electric Furnace (200 EU each) yields two.

What is tin used for in Ala Industrial?

Tin Cable for 8 EU/t LV networks (three ingots make three cables), Bronze Ingots in the Alloy Smelter (three copper plus one tin for 1,200 EU), tin plates for Empty Cans, the Battery (two ingots plus redstone and copper cable), and the Industrial Workbench (two ingots over four planks).

Is tin renewable?

Yes. The Incubator's duplicate mode turns one Tin Ingot into two with a 55 percent success chance for 4,000 EU per attempt.

Does Deepslate Tin Ore exist in vanilla Minecraft or Bedrock?

No. Ala Industrial adds the whole tin chain for Minecraft 26.2 on the Java Edition — there is no Bedrock version — with identical behavior on Fabric and NeoForge.
