Description

Raw Carbon Mesh is a crafting intermediate from the Industrial Craft 2 mod for Minecraft Java Edition — the item never appears in vanilla worlds and never generates naturally. One Raw Carbon Mesh is crafted from two Raw Carbon Fibres placed side by side on a 3×3 grid, and each Raw Carbon Fibre comes from four Coal, so one mesh costs eight Coal in total. Raw Carbon Mesh looks like a flexible fibrous sheet and has no direct use of its own: the item exists to be processed into Carbon Plate.

To process Raw Carbon Mesh, place the item in an IC2 Compressor: a regular Furnace cannot smelt the mesh, so the Compressor is the only conversion path. The resulting Carbon Plate is the key material for the Nano Suit, the Nano Saber, and the Advanced Machine Block in the IC2 tech tree. Six Carbon Plates combined with three Raw Carbon Mesh items also craft a Carbon Rotor Blade. Industrial Craft 2 targets Java Edition only, so Raw Carbon Mesh has no Bedrock counterpart — stockpile Coal and craft meshes on demand in the early game.

Guide

How to craft and use Raw Carbon Mesh

  1. 1

    Gather eight Coal

    Collect eight Coal — the full cost of one Raw Carbon Mesh. Four Coal craft one Raw Carbon Fibre, and two Raw Carbon Fibres craft one Raw Carbon Mesh.

  2. 2

    Craft Raw Carbon Fibres

    On any crafting grid, arrange four Coal into a 2×2 square to craft one Raw Carbon Fibre. Repeat the craft so you have two Raw Carbon Fibres in total.

  3. 3

    Craft the mesh

    Place the two Raw Carbon Fibres side by side in a 3×3 crafting grid. The result slot shows one Raw Carbon Mesh.

  4. 4

    Compress into Carbon Plate

    Put the Raw Carbon Mesh into an IC2 Compressor. The machine consumes EU and turns every Raw Carbon Mesh into one Carbon Plate — the material for the Nano Suit, the Nano Saber, and the Advanced Machine Block.

Tip

A regular Furnace cannot smelt Raw Carbon Mesh — only the IC2 Compressor produces Carbon Plate.

Frequently asked questions

What is Raw Carbon Mesh used for?

Raw Carbon Mesh is an Industrial Craft 2 intermediate with no direct use — compressed in an IC2 Compressor, the mesh becomes Carbon Plate for the Nano Suit, the Nano Saber, and the Advanced Machine Block.

How do you craft Raw Carbon Mesh?

Place two Raw Carbon Fibres side by side in a 3×3 crafting grid. Each Raw Carbon Fibre is crafted from four Coal, so one Raw Carbon Mesh costs eight Coal in total.

Is Raw Carbon Mesh in vanilla Minecraft?

No. Raw Carbon Mesh exists only in the Industrial Craft 2 mod for Minecraft Java Edition, never generates naturally, and has no Bedrock Edition equivalent.

Can you smelt Raw Carbon Mesh in a Furnace?

No. A regular Furnace cannot process Raw Carbon Mesh — only the IC2 Compressor converts the mesh into Carbon Plate.

What else is Raw Carbon Mesh used in?

Besides Carbon Plate production, three Raw Carbon Mesh combined with six Carbon Plates craft one Carbon Rotor Blade.
