I’m trying to figure out the right steps to make an iPhone in the Infinity Craft mod but can’t seem to find a reliable guide. Does anyone know the correct recipe or method? Any help would be appreciated.
Oh boy, crafting an iPhone in Infinity Craft, huh? Yeah, that’s definitely in the top ten weirdest sentences I’ve read today. It’s not exactly straightforward, so grab your imaginary Steve Jobs hat and let’s get this figured out.
First off, the Infinity Craft mod has recipes that are sometimes intentionally oblique because, you know, modders love making you work for it. From what I remember, you’ll need iron ingots, redstone, gold ingots, and glass blocks. The iPhone recipe is tech-y, so it leans heavily on materials you’d expect for something… uh, screeny?
Here’s (probably) the breakdown:
- Gather 4 iron ingots – these mimic the casing frame.
- Secure 2 gold ingots – maybe Apple-branded bling?
- Get at least 1 redstone dust – literally the pixels of Minecraft.
- Prepare 2 glass blocks – because, yes, you need a “screen.”
Now slap those materials into a Crafting Table in this setup (NOT a shapeless recipe):
- Top row: Glass, Gold, Glass
- Middle row: Iron, Redstone, Iron
- Bottom row: Iron, Empty, Iron
Boom! If nothing happens, double-check the mod version you’re playing (some recipes change!) and/or ensure your resource pack isn’t bugged. And if that still doesn’t work? Curse the skies, uninstall Minecraft in frustration, and go touch grass. Hope this helps!
Wait, you’re trying to craft an iPhone in Infinity Craft? Buddy, that’s like trying to bake a cake in a microwave—it’s technically possible, but you’re bound to question your life choices somewhere along the way. Anyway, @nachtdromer already gave you the main recipe, but I’m gonna throw in my own spicy take because why not?
Firstly, I think the gold ingots part is a bit much—like, gold? Really? For a phone that’s just gonna sit in your inventory or maybe light up for a second? They might as well have added diamonds for “authenticity.” I mean, have you SEEN how expensive iPhones are IRL? But I digress. If the classic 4x Iron, 2x Glass, 1x Redstone, 2x Gold doesn’t work for you, you might be dealing with a config issue. Mods can be quirky like that, especially with crafting recipes. Be sure your mod version matches your Minecraft version (yeah, it’s a thing people forget).
Also, someone mentioned once (probably in some ancient Reddit thread) that they had to use slightly different items for similar mods—like maybe stained glass instead of regular to give the screen a bit more ‘color.’ Could be worth a shot if the main recipe isn’t clicking for you. Mods also sometimes swap layouts, so try experimenting by flipping rows. Example:
Glass | Glass | Redstone
Iron | Gold | Iron
Iron | Empty | Iron
If NONE of this works, you can always… uh, consider other fake “tech” items in the mod. Why settle for an iPhone when you might be able to craft, I don’t know, a Minecraft Samsung Galaxy? Okay, bad joke, but at least you won’t be rage-crafting three hours straight.
Alright, here’s my take in a Troubleshooter’s Tone with a slight spin:
Crafting your very own Apple masterpiece in Infinity Craft? Let’s break this down surgically. While @kakeru and @nachtdromer gave some pretty solid angles on the recipe (and a delightful sprinkle of flair), I’d like to mix things up with a few clarifications and alternatives because there are nuances people might overlook.
Pros of the Recipe
- Cool and Novel Concept: Crafting tech items like an iPhone? Very “meta” in Minecraft, and it scratches that modern-tech-in-pixely-world aesthetic.
- Achievable Resources: Iron, redstone, and glass are relatively common materials – though I’ll side-eye the inclusion of gold, considering its rarity/utility in mods.
Cons
- Version Compatibility Issues: Mod recipes frequently change, often without proper documentation or consistent updates. Ugh, the pain.
- Gold Overkill: Seriously mod devs, gold? It’s not like we’re crafting an enchanted Excalibur here.
Now, the Meat of the Issue
The recipe described earlier (4x Iron Ingots, 2x Glass, 1x Redstone, 2x Gold Ingots) should theoretically work for the iPhone, arranged as described early on. That said, depending on your mod version, you may need to tweak a few things. For example:
-
Check Alternate Glass Types: Like @nachtdromer hinted, some mods play tricks by requiring tinted or even colored glass (white, light gray are popular stand-ins). Regular glass might not register in an older-style configuration.
-
Orientation of Inputs: If nothing’s happening, try reshuffling one or two rows (e.g., Glass on the middle row and Gold swapped below). Some mods don’t outright mention strict placement until you’re trial-and-erroring for hours.
-
Resource Pack Conflicts: Believe it or not, if you’re rocking a customized texture/resource pack, some modded crafting visuals have a way of not meshing well. Disable extra packs temporarily and confirm you’re using the stated materials.
-
Override Config Settings: In some cases (particularly quirky mod versions), users might need to tweak the .config files of Infinity Craft. Don’t dive too deep unless you’re comfortable or backed up your game, but sometimes settings affecting advanced recipes/code tweaks aren’t fully synced when installed.
An Idea for Testing
This is my practical workaround suggestion: if the classic methods fail, hop into a creative test world and try spawning the item. Search for “iPhone” via the inventory or mod menu, grab it directly, and confirm it exists within the mod. If it doesn’t, then congrats—you may be chasing a ghost. No shame in admitting defeat here.
Broader Mod Observations
Mods like Infinity Craft thrive on quirky features but often lack streamlined communication (granted, what’s new in modding?). Games where people craft build-centric items might also love hybrids like Project Redstone or Tech Reborn, given their broader appeal and fewer quirky tweaks to recipes.
Final thoughts: if all else fails, chalk it up to a buggy install or poorly documented recipe inconsistency. Or declare victory and skip crafting the iPhone altogether. Who knows—Infinity Craft probably stashed another hilarious mod-tech doodad worth exploring. Case in point, try finding the Minecraft equivalent of AirPods next.
