Chalk and Kaolin Masonry Blocks in Nature's Spirit

guide

Chalk and kaolin masonry blocks introduce bright white building stones, smooth clay ceramics, and vibrant dyed masonry into Nature's Spirit. These clean-textured sedimentary and clay minerals offer architects an alternative to rough cobblestone and stark concrete, supporting all sixteen dye shades across bricks, slabs, and stairs.

Refining White Chalk from Powder

White Chalk is crafted as a fine architectural masonry block using refined powdered minerals:

Combining four Chalk Powder items in a two-by-two square on the crafting grid produces one White Chalk block.
Placing White Chalk into a stonecutter or crafting table allows crafting into White Chalk Slab and White Chalk Stairs.
Placing three White Chalk blocks horizontally in a crafting grid yields six White Chalk Slab items.
Arranging six White Chalk blocks in a stair pattern crafts four White Chalk Stairs.

Compounding and Baking Kaolin Bricks

Kaolin is an ultra-fine mineral clay composite used for refined brickwork and ceramic masonry:

Crafted by mixing five Sand and four Clay blocks in a crafting table, producing nine Kaolin blocks.
Arranging four Kaolin blocks in a two-by-two grid produces four Kaolin Bricks.
Kaolin bricks can be converted in a stonecutter into Kaolin Brick Slab and Kaolin Brick Stairs.
Arranging three Kaolin Bricks horizontally produces six Kaolin Brick Slab items.
Arranging six Kaolin Bricks in a stair pattern crafts four Kaolin Brick Stairs.

Dyeing Chalk and Kaolin in Sixteen Colors

Both chalk and kaolin can be dyed into all sixteen standard colors using traditional dye pigments:

Surrounding one dye of any color with eight White Chalk blocks yields eight dyed chalk blocks (such as Black Chalk, Blue Chalk, Red Chalk, or Green Chalk).
Surrounding one dye with eight Kaolin blocks yields eight dyed kaolin blocks.
Surrounding one dye with eight Kaolin Bricks yields eight dyed brick blocks (such as Black Kaolin Bricks or Red Kaolin Bricks).
All dyed variants can be cut with a stonecutter to produce matching colored slabs and stairs without wasting materials.
