Bronze Block
Bronze Block is the Industrial Craft 2 storage block that compresses nine Bronze Ingots into one copper-toned cube for compact stockpiling and warm-toned building decoration.
Description
Industrial Craft 2 players use Bronze Block chiefly as a stockpile solution that frees nine inventory slots per cube, letting a single chest hold up to 15,552 ingots when filled with stacked Bronze Blocks. Bronze Block serves equally well as a decorative wall and floor material for steampunk and factory-themed builds, pairing visually with Copper Blocks and Machine Blocks. A wooden pickaxe or better is required to harvest Bronze Block so the cube does not shatter on breaking, and Bronze Block stacks to 64 for convenient transport of bulk metal across a base.

How to craft and use a Bronze Block in Industrial Craft 2
-
1
Smelt Bronze Ingots first
Combine three Copper Dust with one Tin Dust on a crafting grid to make two Bronze Dust, then smelt the Bronze Dust in a Furnace to obtain Bronze Ingots.
-
2
Fill a 3x3 crafting grid
Place nine Bronze Ingots so every slot of the 3x3 grid of a Crafting Table is occupied, which yields one Bronze Block.
-
3
Store or build with the Bronze Block
Place Bronze Block in a chest to compress nine ingots into one slot, or use Bronze Block as a warm copper-orange accent block in factory and steampunk builds.
-
4
Unwind back to ingots when needed
Put one Bronze Block anywhere in a crafting grid to split it back into nine Bronze Ingots, reversing the recipe with no material loss.
Bronze Block is added by the Industrial Craft 2 mod and does not exist in vanilla Minecraft, so the recipe and the Bronze ingot itself require the mod installed.
