Raw Palladium
Raw Palladium drops from Palladium Ore in the Nether at Y 8–32 and grinds into two Palladium Dust in the Macerator — double the ingots of plain smelting.
Description
Any furnace route turns one Raw Palladium into one Palladium Ingot: a vanilla furnace, a blast furnace, or the Electric Furnace at 200 EU per smelt. The Macerator route doubles the payout: one Raw Palladium grinds into two Palladium Dust for 300 EU, and each Palladium Dust smelts into one Palladium Ingot in the Electric Furnace — the only machine that reads the dust recipe. A Palladium Ingot then becomes a Palladium Plate in the Compressor for 260 EU, or under the player's forge hammer. Palladium entered the mod before its high-tier consumers, so the chain currently closes on itself: Palladium Ore, Raw Palladium, Palladium Dust, Palladium Ingot, Palladium Plate. Raw Palladium behaves identically on the Fabric and NeoForge builds of Ala Industrial for Minecraft Java Edition 26.2.

Guide
How to get and process Raw Palladium
-
1
Bring a diamond pickaxe
Craft or grab a diamond pickaxe before the trip: iron and weaker pickaxes break Palladium Ore without dropping Raw Palladium.
-
2
Dig around Y 20 in the Nether
Enter the Nether and tunnel near height Y 20 (full range Y 8–32), checking netherrack, basalt, and blackstone for veins of up to four blocks.
-
3
Mine Palladium Ore
Break each ore block to collect one Raw Palladium; a Fortune pickaxe multiplies the drop, while Silk Touch hands back the Palladium Ore block instead.
-
4
Smelt in a furnace
Load Raw Palladium into a vanilla furnace, a blast furnace, or the Electric Furnace to get one Palladium Ingot per item at 200 EU per smelt.
-
5
Double it in the Macerator
Feed Raw Palladium to the Macerator for 300 EU to receive two Palladium Dust, then smelt each dust in the Electric Furnace for two Palladium Ingots per ore block.
Watch cave walls as well as the tunnel floor: about half of all palladium veins in the Nether expose themselves on a cave wall instead of hiding fully inside solid rock.
Frequently asked questions
Where does Raw Palladium come from?
Raw Palladium drops from Palladium Ore — the only Ala Industrial ore generated in the Nether, between Y 8 and Y 32 with the densest band around Y 20.
Which pickaxe does Palladium Ore require?
A diamond pickaxe or better; an iron pickaxe breaks the block and drops nothing. Palladium Ore sits one tier above Uranium Ore, which iron can mine.
Do Fortune and Silk Touch work on Palladium Ore?
Fortune multiplies the Raw Palladium dropped per block, while Silk Touch returns the Palladium Ore block itself instead of the raw item.
How many ingots does one Raw Palladium give?
One Palladium Ingot in any furnace, or two via the Macerator: one Raw Palladium grinds into two Palladium Dust for 300 EU, and each dust smelts in the Electric Furnace.
Why does the palladium chain end at the plate?
Palladium reached world generation before its high-tier consumers, so the line currently closes on itself — ore, raw, dust, ingot, plate — and new uses arrive in later mod phases.
