Alternative crafting ingredients

An alternative crafting ingredient is an item that can be used in place of another item in a crafting recipe. The Calamity Mod adds several new groups of alternate ingredients. Note that while these items can be substituted in many recipes in which they appear, they may not be able to be substituted in all of them. See an item's page for details on which recipes an item can be substituted in.
