Shard of Minium

The Minium Shard is an item added by that is used to make the Minium Stone. It is only obtainable as a drop from hostile mobs, when they are killed. It should be noted that you must kill the mobs directly, either with your fists or any melee or ranged weapon, for the shard to drop, and not, for example, by fall damage, lava, or splash potions.

Although the Minium Shard is not a rare drop, it will not drop with every kill.
