Guide
How to produce UU-Matter with a Mass Fabricator in IC2
-
1
Build a Mass Fabricator
Craft a Mass Fabricator from advanced machine casing, advanced circuits and glowstone dust at an IC2 crafting bench.
-
2
Wire high-voltage EU input
Connect the Mass Fabricator to an HV supply such as an IC2 Nuclear Reactor or an MFSU through HV transformers and glass fibre cable.
-
3
Feed Scrap from a Recycler
Run a Recycler on cobblestone or dirt to make Scrap, then auto-pipe Scrap or Scrap Boxes into the Mass Fabricator to cut the 1,000,000 EU per UU-Matter cost by about 6x.
-
4
Collect UU-Matter units
Wait for the progress bar to fill; each completed cycle outputs one UU-Matter item into the Mass Fabricator output slot.
-
5
Craft target resources
Use UU-Matter at a standard crafting table with the IC2 recipe sheet to produce diamonds, iron, redstone, glowstone, snowballs or iridium ore.
Iridium ore is the highest-value UU-Matter recipe — it is required for the Quantum-Suit armor and cannot be obtained from any other source in classic IC2.

Frequently asked questions
How is UU-Matter produced?
UU-Matter is produced only by the IC2 Mass Fabricator, which converts EU energy into matter at a base cost of 1,000,000 EU per unit.
Does Scrap really speed up the Mass Fabricator?
Yes. Feeding Scrap or Scrap Boxes from a Recycler multiplies output by about 6x, dropping the effective EU cost per UU-Matter to roughly 166,000 EU.
What can you craft from UU-Matter?
UU-Matter recipes include diamonds, iron ingots, redstone, lapis lazuli, glowstone dust, snowballs and iridium ore — the last being mandatory for the Quantum-Suit armor.
Can UU-Matter be placed as a block?
No. UU-Matter exists only as an inventory item in IC2; it cannot be placed in the world like a regular Minecraft block.
Is UU-Matter available on Bedrock Edition?
No. IC2 and UU-Matter are Java Edition only and do not exist in Bedrock Edition Minecraft.
