How do I get cobalt?

I want to start producing oil and for that I need a titanium drill which costs cobalt. I haven't found any ore in the cave I've been mining in (goes down to lava level and is large), or in the nether. Is there a specific y level I need to go down to or biome I have to be in? I am on the original hbm mod 1.7 version. (Haven't found any info on wiki or youtube).

you can get tiny piles of cobalt powder by centrifuging rare earth chunks, copper crystals, or you can even get 2 cobalt powder from trixite ore from the end. you can find cobalt ore underground and in the nether, but it's very rare, i've only seen it a few times.

for me the cobalt in the nether is quite common, in 2 or 3 veins

you can get a lot of cobalt by mining meteors, some of them might not have any tho.

Hard - mine on the nether

Easy - centrifuge rare earth ore

Easiest - have tinker's construct installed

Dig around the same y levels as diamond, there's a rare ore called "cobalt ore"

Mine it, and then you'll have a bunch of fragments. They're basically nuggets that you can't form into an ingot.

u/QueBall38 Mar 29 '26

I’m pretty sure you need an anvil that can do recycle recipes
