Chain

This is the Matcha Flavoured version of Chain, renamed or changed from vanilla Minecraft.

Chain

Type	Block
Stackable	Yes (64)
Resource location	minecraft:iron_chain
Defined in	iron_chain.json

A chain is a thin decorative block that can be placed along any axis. Matcha Flavoured makes chains far cheaper to craft and lets players climb them like ladders. Both the iron chain and the copper chain (with its oxidized and waxed forms) are covered here.

Obtaining

Crafting

The vanilla recipe, an ingot between two nuggets for one chain, is replaced by recipes that use only one material:

Ingredients (3 in a column)	Chains
3 iron nuggets	2 iron chains
3 iron ingots	18 iron chains
3 steel alloy	36 iron chains
3 copper nuggets	2 copper chains

Crafting

Name	Ingredients	Recipe
Iron Chain	3 × Iron Nugget	2
Iron Chain	3 × Iron Ingot	18
Iron Chain	3 × Steel Alloy	36

Stonecutting

Name	Ingredients	Recipe
Iron Chain	Block of Iron	Stonecutter54
Iron Chain	Iron Ingot	Stonecutter6
Iron Chain	Steel Alloy	Stonecutter12

Stonecutting

A stonecutter gives 6 chains from an ingot, 12 from steel alloy and 54 from a block of iron or copper. Each oxidized and waxed copper block cuts into 54 of its matching chain.

Picking up iron nuggets or ingots unlocks the nugget recipe, and picking up steel alloy unlocks the steel recipe. The recipe from iron ingots never appears in the recipe book, because the unlock names a recipe ID (iron_chain_from_iron) that does not exist; the recipe still works when the ingots are placed in the grid by hand.

• Iron chains are the material for chainmail armor, crafted in the shape of vanilla armor.
• Copper chains can be aged with a water bottle, like other copper blocks.

Behavior

Chains are climbable: every chain in the #minecraft:chains tag, iron or copper, waxed or not, works like a ladder when hung vertically.

History

1.03	Iron chains unlock when the player picks up iron ingots.
1.10	Iron chains can be cut from iron ingots in a stonecutter.
1.12.2	Chains can be climbed.

Trivia

• Iron golems drop iron ingots, which three at a time make 18 chains. The developer has said that iron farms built on this are left in on purpose: "I am aware of chain iron farms...Im leaving it in. If people aren't melting golems, I'm happy."
