Water Crystal (Thaumcraft 5)

The Water Crystal is a glowing ore added by Thaumcraft 5. It is found in clusters of 1-64. When mined, it will drop 1-4 Water Shards (the number of shards it will drop is countable by looking at the block). Silk Touch is ineffective against the Water Crystal, and due to Minecraft 1.8's rendering issues, the block in the inventory is rendered as an item.

Water Crystals will grow from the Aura in the air. However, they cannot be farmed without the Crystal Farmer Research.



Crystal Farmer Research
"Crystal Farmer" is a Research added by Thaumcraft 5. With it, Water Shards can be planted to make Water Crystals, and right-clicking a single shard on a Water Crystal with a Wand will remove just that one Water Shard.
