Description
Quantum Chestplate is the top-tier electric chestpiece from IndustrialCraft 2 Experimental, storing 10,000,000 EU and absorbing nearly all incoming damage while charged. Quantum Chestplate sits at Tier 4 (Extreme Voltage, EV), so it accepts up to 2048 EU/t and must be charged in an MFSU or higher; an MFE or BatBox will throttle the input. Crafting Quantum Chestplate requires a Nano-Bodyarmor core surrounded by 5 Iridium Reinforced Plates with a Lapotron Crystal placed on top in a standard 3x3 bench. Once equipped, Quantum Chestplate grants Hazmat-style immunity to fire and lava damage-over-time while EU remains, and on most IC2 builds it supports an activated jetpack/hover mode toggled with the IC2 mode key (default M). Every hit drains EU proportional to damage absorbed; when the chestplate is empty it behaves like minimal armor and must be recharged. Quantum Chestplate is endgame-only — Iridium Ore is rare and usually produced through UU-Matter, and the Lapotron Crystal requires an Energy Crystal upgrade. It is not obtainable on vanilla Minecraft and is supported on Forge 1.7.10, 1.10.2, 1.11.2, and 1.12.2.
Guide
How to craft and use Quantum Chestplate in Minecraft
-
1
Prepare the prerequisites
Craft a Nano-Bodyarmor, 5 Iridium Reinforced Plates, and a Lapotron Crystal. Iridium Ore is rare and usually produced through UU-Matter in a Mass Fabricator.
-
2
Lay out the recipe
Open a standard 3x3 crafting bench. Place the Nano-Bodyarmor in the center, 5 Iridium Reinforced Plates around it in a U-shape, and a Lapotron Crystal on the top-center slot.
-
3
Charge in an MFSU
Quantum Chestplate is Tier 4 (EV), so insert it into an MFSU at up to 2048 EU/t. An MFE or BatBox is too slow and may damage lower-tier wiring.
-
4
Equip and toggle modes
Wear the Quantum Chestplate. Press the IC2 mode key (default M) to toggle jetpack/hover where supported. While charged it grants Hazmat-style immunity to fire and lava DoT.
-
5
Maintain the charge
Each absorbed hit drains EU proportional to damage. Recharge in an MFSU when EU gets low, or carry a spare Lapotron Crystal in your hotbar.
Tip
Pair Quantum Chestplate with Quantum Leggings for full mobility — sprint speed plus hover jetpack creates the strongest movement combo in IC2 Experimental.
