Pearl Necklace Tiers: Crafting and Upgrading Guide
The 
Pearl Necklace 1 is the entry point of a three-step upgrade chain, and each step consumes one more 
Pearl than the last. The whole line runs through the crafting grid, so no special station is needed beyond a standard crafting table.
Starting the Chain
The first tier is made with a shaped recipe. Place four Pearl in the grid to produce a single Pearl Necklace 1. This is the only tier that starts from raw material rather than from another necklace, so it sets the cost floor for everything above it.
Upgrading to Tier Two
Once you hold a Pearl Necklace 1, combine it with one additional Pearl. This is a shapeless recipe, meaning the arrangement of the two ingredients in the grid does not matter — put them anywhere and the result is a 
Pearl Necklace 2. Because it is shapeless, you do not need to memorize a pattern; just ensure both items are present.
Upgrading to Tier Three
The final step follows the same logic. Take your Pearl Necklace 2 and add one more Pearl in a shapeless recipe to receive a 
Pearl Necklace 3. At this point the chain ends — there is no fourth tier, and the facts list no further upgrade beyond this point.
Tracking the Pearl Cost
Counting the Pearl spent across the whole chain is useful if you plan to build more than one necklace:
- Pearl Necklace 1 costs four Pearl.
- Pearl Necklace 2 costs the necklace below it plus one Pearl.
- Pearl Necklace 3 costs the tier-two necklace plus one Pearl.
Because each upgrade eats the previous necklace, you cannot skip a tier. There is no direct recipe that jumps from Pearl Necklace 1 to Pearl Necklace 3, and no recipe that produces a higher tier from loose Pearl alone.
A Related Conversion
Pearl also appears in a separate recipe that has nothing to do with the necklace line: combining one Pearl with one 
Popped Chorus Fruit yields an 
Ender Pearl. If your supply of Pearl is limited, remember that this recipe competes for the same ingredient the necklaces use, so decide early whether you are spending Pearl on upgrades or on conversion.
Where the Necklaces Sit in the Wider Crafting List
The necklace recipes are three of fifteen total crafting recipes in the mod. Other recipes in that same list include 
Acorn x5 turning into an 
Acorn Hat, a 
Clam breaking down into three 
Bone Meal, and 
Silk converting into two 
String. There are also armor recipes: three 
Iron Ingot make 
Iron Dragonfly Armor, three 
Gold Ingot make 
Gold Dragonfly Armor, and three diamond gems make 
Diamond Dragonfly Armor.
Several recipes lean on Silk: four Silk plus one Iron Ingot produce a 
Grappling Hook, and four Silk plus slime balls produce a 
Silk Lead. Bottled slime also has its own conversions — four 
Sea Bunny Slime Bottle make a 
Sea Bunny Slime Block, while a single Sea Bunny Slime Bottle or 
Snail Slime Bottle can each be turned into a 
Slimeball.
Beyond Crafting: The Smithing Transform
The mod includes exactly one smithing transform recipe, and it concerns armor rather than necklaces. A 
Smithing Template, Diamond Dragonfly Armor, and netherite ingots combine into 
Netherite Dragonfly Armor. If you are gathering materials for the necklace chain, note that this transform draws on a different set of ingredients entirely, so the two projects do not compete for Pearl.
Practical Order of Operations
If you want a Pearl Necklace 3, plan for six Pearl in total: four for the base necklace and one for each of the two upgrades. Craft the Pearl Necklace 1 first, then immediately run the two shapeless upgrades rather than stockpiling tier-one necklaces, since each tier-two and tier-three recipe consumes the tier below it. Keep any Pearl you are saving for Ender Pearl conversion separate so you do not accidentally spend it on an upgrade.
