Use Mineral items as crafting materials for items that can use rocks as an ingredient. These items could be required along with another to unlock requirements for devices like the Conditional Button.
Mineral items include:
Rough Ore
Coal
Copper Ore
Silver Ore
Malachite Ore
Obsidian Ore
Brightcore Ore
Spectralite Ore
Use the devices like Conditional Button and Item Spawner to create the system of crafting.
You could pair Spectralite Ore with Blast Powder as materials needed to craft other items or weapons like the Shadow Midas' Drum Gun.
To do so, you will need to set the Conditional Button's setting Key Items Required to 2 and pair the device with an Item Spawner to grant the usable item.
You can also blend items with props of similar themes from the Galleries and Prefabs tab.
This Galleries prop can be found in Zero Point Nature Gallery.
For example, you can blend Spectralite Ore with rock and mineral props for an immersive gameplay.
To create the process of crafting, you will need to either spawn the item onto your map with the Item Spawner or grant them to players through the Item Granter.
Players can collect these items to exchange for usable items through devices like Conditional Button, which consumes equipped items. They can also use these items to craft other items that will build up to a larger item.

Finding and Placing Items
Click image to enlarge.
From Build mode, press the Tab key, then click Creative on the top navigation bar to select the Creative inventory screen if not already displayed.
Click the Items tab.
On this screen, scroll to find and select the item, use the Search box to look up the item by name, or check the list of relevant Categories specific to the item you're looking for to filter the view.
Click the item, then click either Equip or Add To Chest.
Clicking Equip will add the item to your Resources bar. (When you're back in Create mode, you can view items in your Resources bar by pressing the Tab key and selecting Play.)
You may want to offer an item bundle to players through a chest or llama. Selecting Add To Chest will add the item to the Chest tab. Each time you click it, the item count will increase by one, shown in a yellow box on the Chest tab.
From the Chest tab, you can select either Create Chest or Create Llama to store the items in a Chest or a Llama for use in-game.
You can add up to fifteen items to the Chest tab. When it’s full, the Add To Chest tab will disappear. To add more items, you first have to remove items from the Chest tab.
Managing Items
You can manage these items when you are in Play inventory. To access the Play inventory screen, press Tab and click Play in the top navigation bar. In the Play inventory, you can create or split item stacks, or remove them entirely from your Resources bar.

Instead of dropping these items on the ground, it's best to grant them to players by using item-granting devices like the Item Spawner.
You cannot reposition or copy items with the phone tool. To delete an item from your inventory in Create mode, you will have to select either Respawn or Back To Hub from the Menu. When you do this, your inventory clears.

Registering Crafting Items

You can drop items directly onto devices that can either hold or grant items. Above shows the Conditional Button, which holds two crafting items and an Item Spawner that holds one usable item.
This pair of devices can be set up for players to exchange Spectralite Ores and Blast Powder for a Shadow Midas' Drum Gun. To do so, these items must first be registered to the devices that will hold the information.

To register items to a device, you must stand directly on or immediately beside the device.
To register an item for this kind of device, follow these steps.
In the CREATIVE inventory, find the equipment and items you want to register with a device and equip them.
In Create mode, stand directly beside the device that will register the item.
Press the Tab key to open the PLAY inventory screen.
Click the item, then press either Z or X to split or drop the item. You can also drag the item to the side until a backpack icon appears.
The compatible device will automatically register the dropped item.
