Now that you have a machine set up, you are ready to enter the magical world of Equivalent Exchange! You likely have iron and redstone, along with the ability to make some Charcoal. By mixing materials together, you can get mystical dusts that repair tools and armour! The green kind repairs wood and stone tools, along with Leather and Chain armours. Light blue repairs Iron and Gem items. The Dark blue repairs only Diamond grade tools and armor.

Next, you can make various tiers of "Divining Rods". These will show an EMC value within the scanned area, each tier having better ranges. You can easily find diamonds by scanning for an EMC of 8192. Tungsten will appear as well over 16,000. Level 1:

Level 2:

Level 3:

These rods can help greatly with mining. However, rushing into divining rods is not always the best idea. It consumes 8 of every dust to get to the highest tier, making repairs a bit more difficult or more costly. If you had a chance to enter the Nether yet for glowstone, mixing 4 glowstone, 4 redstone, and 1 diamond together will make a Philosopher's Stone, which can turn iron into gold, gold into diamonds, and coal into various higher tier fuels.
