Fire Crystal (Thaumcraft 5)

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

Fire 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, Fire Shards can be planted to make Fire Crystals, and right-clicking a single shard on a Fire Crystal with a Wand will remove just that one Fire Shard.
