Sands Of The Alienwilds
Quickstart
- Survival: Mine Xenon Ore, Aurora Ore, or Comet Ore for Xenon Shards, then craft an Astral Wayfinder using the recipe below.
- Hold the Wayfinder and use it. Choose Enter Extraterra Alien to travel to the planet; use it again there and choose Return home to go back to the Overworld.
- You can also enter through a portal: in the Overworld, build a 4-block-wide by 5-block-tall sandstone frame with a 2-by-3 opening. Use Flint and Steel on the frame, then walk into the portal.
- Once there, explore the varied terrain, gather unfamiliar blocks and plants, and look for alien wildlife. Keep an Azure Drifter in water.
Overview
Sands Of The Alienwilds opens a route to Extraterra Alien, a custom planet with rolling barrens, high spirelands, forests, rift terrain, caves, and an Azure Ocean. Its terrain, plants, ores, wildlife, and atmospheric fog are unlike the Overworld.
The planet features a broad range of alien life: over 50 kinds of plant life and over 30 kinds of animal life. The creatures and plants below are named examples.
What It Adds
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Terrain and building blocks | Alien Silt, Luminous Clay, Voidstone, Tideglass Sand, and Craterstone |
| Alien trees and plants | Spirewood Log and Spirewood Canopy, Alien Bloom, Veilfern, Crown Reed, Embercup, Starbloom, Void Lily, and Spiral Frond |
| Ores | Xenon Ore, Aurora Ore, and Comet Ore |
| Regions | Siltglass Barrens, Amethyst Spirelands, Veilglass Gardens, Basalt Rift Canyons, and Azure Ocean |
How To Use
Travel with the Astral Wayfinder
Use the Wayfinder from your hand to open its travel menu. Choose Enter Extraterra Alien to arrive on the planet, or Return home to go back to the Overworld.
Travel through a sandstone portal
Build a rectangular sandstone frame in the Overworld, 4 blocks wide and 5 blocks tall, leaving a 2-by-3 opening. Ignite the frame with Flint and Steel, then step into the portal to travel to Extraterra Alien. The Wayfinder is the straightforward way back.
Crafting And Obtaining
Mine Xenon Ore, Aurora Ore, or Comet Ore with a pickaxe to obtain Xenon Shards. Use a shard, Ender Pearls, a Compass, and an Iron Ingot at a crafting table to make the Astral Wayfinder:
Abilities And Mechanics
| Creature | Where to look | Player interactions |
|---|---|---|
| Siltback Grazer | On the planet’s surface, including Alien Silt and Voidstone ground | Feed wheat to breed it. Use an empty bucket on an adult to collect milk; watch for its charging attack. |
| Prism Hopper | Surface areas of Alien Silt and Tideglass Sand | Carrots, golden carrots, and dandelions attract and breed it. |
| Azure Drifter | Underwater, around Tideglass Sand | Keep it in water: it dries out on land. Tropical Fish Buckets can be used to breed it. |
In Creative, the Siltback Grazer, Prism Hopper, and Azure Drifter each have a spawn egg.
Progression And Strategy
Start by gathering Xenon Shards and crafting a Wayfinder so you can travel without building a portal. On Extraterra Alien, explore different regions for their terrain, plants, and ore deposits; collect blocks and Spirewood to bring alien materials back for building. If you bring an Azure Drifter home, prepare an aquarium or another water-filled enclosure.
