Sulfur (sulphur, in British English) is a common non-metal element. It is known for its yellow color and foul odor. It can be found in a lot of foods, specifically egg yolks, of which they derive their yellow color. Sulfur is usually found near lava and it is quite abundant in the Nether. Other than those locations, sulfur is rather uncommon, but can be purified out of crude oil in large quantities using an oil refinery.
Production
- Sulfur is mostly found by mining sulfur ore, which by itself gives only up to 3 pieces of sulfur dust. If the ore is processed through crystallization and a centrifuge, it can generate 8 sulfur dusts.
- Other realistic means of obtaining sulfur include using the SILEX to process lapis or its dust, or by processing copper crystals.
- Another more unrealistic way to obtain sulfur is by bombarding quartz dust with a box of beryllium dust in a cyclotron.
Uses
- Primarily used in lead-acid batteries (advanced batteries or the standard energy storage block) and such. It can also be used for a substitute for yellow dye.
- Sulfur is necessary for yellowcake, a critical step in uranium processing and enrichment, and in schrabidium trisulfide for ferric schrabidate production.
- Can be bombarded in a cyclotron with carbon dust to create titanium dust.
