The Stargate

You build a working Stargate from raw ore. There's a catch: Naquadah, the key material, only generates on Abydos. So your first trip goes through a gate someone else built. This page walks you through both parts.

Where everything comes from

Tip: Crystal geodes work like amethyst geodes. Bring a budding crystal home and you can grow your own instead of hunting for more.

Part 1: Your first trip

Step 1: Find a Stargate outpost

Quest: The Lost Gate

Stargate outposts generate across the Overworld in plains, deserts, mossy areas, snowy biomes, badlands and mangroves. Some villages have one too. Each comes with a Milky Way gate and a DHD that are ready to use.

• Explore and look for ancient stonework with a ring standing in it.
• When you find one, mark it on your map. Press J, right-click and add a waypoint.
• The quest gives you 4 Notebook Pages for writing down addresses.

Step 2: Dial Abydos

Quest: Destination: Abydos

Walk up to the DHD, open it and press the symbols in this order:

These two addresses are the same in every world. Every other address is random, so write down any new ones you find.

Before you step through: Bring food, torches, a pickaxe and building blocks. Abydos is a desert, and you'll want to mine for a while.

Step 3: Arrive on Abydos and mine Naquadah

Quests: Welcome to Ra's Realm → Naquadah

1. Step through the gate. The Welcome to Ra's Realm quest completes as soon as you arrive.
2. Explore. Abydos has a city, a pyramid and dungeons with loot, plus cartouches carved with more gate addresses.
3. Mine Naquadah Ore. You need at least 16 Raw Naquadah for the quest, and a lot more for a full gate. A whole gate takes dozens of plates, so bring back as much as you can carry.
4. Dial Earth from the Abydos gate to get home.

Part 2: Build your own gate

Step 4: Gather the other materials

Quests: Titanium · Crystal Hunting · Trinium

Plan ahead: The Capacitor Bank needs a netherite ingot, and the Crystal Control Circuit needs Trinium from the End. Both come from late-game dimensions, so start collecting early.

Step 5: Make Naquadah Alloy

Quests: Naquadah Alloy → Plating

Gates are built from Naquadah Alloy, not raw Naquadah.

1. Smelt Raw Naquadah in a furnace to get Raw Naquadah Alloy Ingots.
2. Alloy it with iron. Pick one:
   • Create: Put Raw Naquadah Alloy Ingots and Iron Ingots in a Mixer over a Basin to get Naquadah Dust, then smelt the dust.
   • Immersive Engineering: An Arc Furnace alloys them directly.
3. Make plates. Press Naquadah Alloy Ingots with a Create Mechanical Press. An IE Metal Press works too.
4. Make gears. Craft 4 Naquadah Alloy Ingots in a plus shape to get a Naquadah Gear.

Step 6: Build the circuits

Quests: Control Circuit → Smart Circuits → Capacitor Bank

How to fill circuits with Create:

1. Melt Naquadah Alloy (or Trinium) ingots in a Mixer over a superheated Basin. Feed the Blaze Burner Blaze Cake to superheat it.
2. Pipe the molten metal into a Spout.
3. Put a Control Circuit Base on a Depot under the Spout. Each circuit takes 40 mB.

An IE Bottling Machine also fills circuits.

Step 7: Build the gate

Quests: Ring Fragments → Ring Segments + Chevrons → Stargate Base → Ring Assembly

1. Craft the ring blocks, chevrons and base.
2. Place the base where the bottom of your gate will be.
3. Build the ring of ring blocks and chevrons around it. Check the JSG wiki for the exact layout.
4. When every block is in the right place, the gate merges into one working Stargate. Tick Ring Assembly.

Step 8: Build the DHD

Quests: Big Red Button + Crystal Holder → Dial Home Device → DHD Control Crystal

1. Place the DHD a few blocks in front of your gate.
2. Put the DHD Control Crystal in the DHD.
3. You get 4 more Notebook Pages from the quest.

Step 9: Dial out from your own gate

Quest: Chevron Seven, Locked

Dial Abydos (or Earth, if you built your gate somewhere else) on your own DHD and step through. You run your own Stargate program now.

After your own gate

Lock it down with an iris

Quests: Iris Blades → Close the Iris → Send Your Code

Install the iris on your gate, then give your team GDOs so they can open it from the other side.

Ring transporters

Quests: Ring Fragments: Goa'uld → Ring Transporters

1. Craft Goa'uld Transport Ring Fragments from 6 Naquadah Plates and 3 Titanium Ingots.
2. Craft the Goa'uld Transport Rings and a Rings Control Panel. Press R in JEI for the full recipes.
3. Place two sets of rings and use them to move between the two spots.

Build your gate room

• Stargate Command: Use SGC Control to set up a control room.
• Decoration: Use JSG: Decoration blocks to make it look the part.
• Universe Dialer (optional): A handheld dialer for when you're away from a DHD. It's made from exposed, weathered and oxidized copper ingots, stone buttons, a black glass pane and a Naquadah Control Circuit.

The ninth chevron

Quests: The Universe Gate → The Ninth Chevron (finale)

The Universe gate is the one found on Destiny. Craft Universe Ring Fragments and a Universe Stargate Base, then explore the Destiny addon. The finale gives 1,500 XP and 4 Diamonds.
