Mineral Powder items are used for crafting items that need a specific type of mineral powder as a main ingredient. These items could be required along with another to unlock requirements for devices like the Conditional Button.
You could pair Oxidized Mineral Powder with Silver Ore as ingredients needed to craft weapons or usable items like Smoke Grenade.
Mineral Powder items are:
Rough Mineral Powder
Simple Mineral Powder
Fine-Grain Mineral Powder
Char-Black Mineral Powder
Oxidized Mineral Powder
You can also blend items with props of similar themes. Grant crafting items with a pair of devices like Button and Item Granter to blend them with similar props from the Galleries tab. For example, you can blend Char-Black Mineral Powder with props from the Roadside gallery to fully immerse players onto your island.
To create the process of crafting, you will need to either spawn or grant items onto the map for players to collect with the Item Spawner or Item Granter.
The players can collect these items to exchange for usable items through item consuming devices like Conditional Button. They can also use these items to craft other items that will build up to a larger item.

Click the CONSUMABLES 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 ADD TO CHEST, the item count will increase by one, shown in a yellow box on the CHEST tab

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.
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.
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.
