Celestisynth: The Starlit Factory and Eight Weapons

guide

Celestisynth is a mod built around a single crafting station, the Starlit Factory, and the eight weapons it produces. Everything else in the mod exists to feed that station: you gather materials, push them through smelting, blasting, crafting, and smithing, and the end result is a set of unique weapons.

Building the Starlit Factory

The Starlit Factory is the centerpiece, and it has two separate crafting routes. The shaped recipe needs Celestial Netherite Ingot x2, Block of Iron, Smithing Table, Crafting Table, Blast Furnace, and Obsidian x3. The shapeless recipe is much simpler: a single Celestial Workbench converts directly into a Starlit Factory.

Because the shaped route demands Celestial Netherite Ingot, most players will work toward the Celestial Workbench first and upgrade from there.

The Celestial Core Chain

The Celestial Core sits at the middle of the mod's progression, and it has two shaped recipes. The first combines Amethyst Shard x4 with a Heart of the Sea. The second combines Amethyst Shard x4 with a Heated Celestial Core, which means a core can be recycled back into a fresh one once it has been heated.

Heating is done in a furnace. Both smelting and blasting will turn a Celestial Core into a Heated Celestial Core, so either works and you can pick whichever is faster for you.

Supernal and Celestial Netherite

Supernal Netherite Ingot comes from smithing, and there are two recipes for it. One uses a Smithing Template, a Netherite Ingot, and a Ghast Tear. The other swaps the Ghast Tear for a Celestial Core, giving you a second path if tears are scarce.

Once you have a Supernal Netherite Ingot, both smelting and blasting will convert it into a Celestial Netherite Ingot. This is the material the Starlit Factory itself is built from, and it also appears in the mod's book recipe.

Lunar and Solar Armor

Two full armor sets are craftable, each built from a crystal material plus Block of Gold.

For the lunar set:

Lunar Stone Helmet: Lunar Stone x4 + Block of Gold
Lunar Stone Chestplate: Lunar Stone x7 + Block of Gold
Lunar Stone Leggings: Lunar Stone x6 + Block of Gold
Lunar Stone Boots: Lunar Stone x4 + Block of Gold

For the solar set:

Solar Crystal Helmet: Solar Crystal x4 + Block of Gold
Solar Crystal Chestplate: Solar Crystal x7 + Block of Gold
Solar Crystal Leggings: Solar Crystal x6 + Block of Gold
Solar Crystal Boots: Solar Crystal x4 + Block of Gold

Lunar Scrap is obtained by smelting or blasting Lunar Stone, so the stone you feed into armor can also be processed into scrap if you need it elsewhere.

The Celestial Genesis

The Celestial Genesis is the mod's guide book. Its shaped recipe requires Celestial Netherite Ingot x5, Heated Celestial Core x2, a ruined_book, and Paper. Craft it early once you can afford the netherite, because it documents the rest of the mod's content.

The Eight Weapons

The Starlit Factory has eight recipes, one for each weapon:

Each of these is produced at the Starlit Factory rather than at a normal crafting table, which is why the station is the first thing worth building.

One Extra Item

Eyebomination is a shapeless craft: Eye of Ender x4 plus Blaze Powder. It is not a weapon and does not come from the Starlit Factory, but it is one of the mod's standalone crafts worth knowing about.

Suggested Order

Build a Celestial Workbench, upgrade it to a Starlit Factory, then work through the Celestial Core chain to produce Heated Celestial Core and Celestial Netherite Ingot. Craft The Celestial Genesis for reference, assemble whichever armor set matches your materials, and finish by producing the eight weapons at the Starlit Factory.
