The remains of overcooked food, burnt out wood or crumbled Bone Ash.
Stacks up to 1 kg

How to Acquire

• Using a Kiln: Board can be burnt into 0.20kg of ashes total (requires 3 units of fuel), Block of Wood will burn into 0.40kg of ashes total (requires 8 units of fuel).
• Bone Ash can be crumbled into 0.20 kg of regular ashes.
• Firebrands placed in the inventory whilst still lit will turn into ashes. Not too efficient since they only turn into 0.01kg of ashes.
• Left Baked Goods in a lit oven for too long.
• Left Pitbaked Goods in Fireplace or Kiln for too long.
• Fuel: Minimum units/ticks needed. (see: Glossary#Fuel)

Data suggests the best possible ashes to fuel ratio comes from burning Bones. The highest possible quality of ashes should come either from Boards or Bones.

Quality

Ashes Quality = $\frac{{}_{q}burntMaterial*2{+}_{q}Kiln|or|Oven{+}_{q}AvgFuel}{4}$

Notes

• (Oven) Gives same quality ash as Kiln. But takes only 4 blocks per burn instead of 10.
• (Fireplace) Gives blocks/2 ash quality, and takes at least twice as long to turn into ash.
