The following are special recipes unique to IndustrialCraft that make established Minecraft items.
Tin Bucket

Gold cable
Alternative recipe for normal cable. Gives 12 instead of 8. Replace copper for gold in the original recipe. Template:Grid/Crafting Table
Redstone cable
Alternative recipe for normal cable. Gives 2 instead of 8. Replace copper for redstone in the original recipe, leave only two central rubber pieces. Template:Grid/Crafting Table
Clumpy Fuel
Using 2 hydrated compressed coal lumps + 1 compressed plant clump yields the same clumpy fuel as 3 coal lumps, saving non-renewable coal Template:Grid/Crafting Table

Super Fuel is more powerful than Fuel.

Produces: 1× (Fueled) Jetpack
Template:Grid/Crafting Table
- Notes:
- -Super Fuel can provide 144000 EUs as a Fuel
Nuke
- tested: v5.43
If one reads the small print, Alblaka seems to use reverse psychology to provide evidence of this secret recipe.
- "As well, do not try to use nuclear material to craft nuclear-enhanched TNT. It will not work, as the idea to craft complex Nukes from 4 Nuclear material and 5 Gunpowder wouldn't make any sense, for sure!"(forum post, search "Nuclear Reactor")
- Crafting:
Materials: 5× Gunpowder, 4× Uranium Fuel Ingots
Produces: 1× Nuke
Template:Grid/Crafting Table
OR
Materials: 5× Gunpowder, 4× Uranium
Produces: 2× Nuke
Template:Grid/Crafting Table
- Notes:
- -Can be defused after being placed by using a Wrench
- [Extended fuse, about 15 seconds; damage radius: fully fatal at 15 meters; deform radius: about 30 meters in diameter, cubic; melts in a starburst pattern 5-10 meters from blast radius end; fully blocked by obsidian, leaves triangular safe zone behind one obsidian block, even adjacent to nuke; all information within these brackets is primitive and requires more accurate measurements.]-submitted by Muldrake
Reinforced Stone and Reinforced Doors are not immune to the blast, though they do dampen it somewhat. "Placing a nuke in the middle of a 3x3x3 cube of reinforced stone and detonating it will only destroy the reinforced stone." - from Reinforced Stone description.
Miner TFBP
The Mining TFBP works a little differently to its brethren, in that it affects a much smaller radius (approx. 5 block radius) and will remove all blocks within its radius (excluding the Terraformer itself) including man-made ones and Stone. It will remove all blocks in the given radius between the device and bedrock, excepting ores, which it will leave exposed. It isn't as efficient as using Miner blocks, but can be used to create pits which can be later used for Mob Farms, etc.
- Crafting:
Materials: 5× Stone Pickaxe, 1× Blank TFBP
Produces: 1× TFBP - Miner
Template:Grid/Crafting Table
- Notes:
- -Will crash the game if Miners are used within an approx. 15 square radius of an active Miner Terraformer.
- -Like all TFBPs, its function can be erased by applying electric current to it (ie placing it in the top slot of a Mobile Charger and placing a charged RE Battery or a Single-Use Battery into the bottom slot).
