Dalekanium is a material found on the home plant of the Daleks, Skaro. First mentioned in The Dalek Invasion of Earth, Dalekanium was a material used by Davros to create the Daleks' casings, chosen as it was effective protection against bullets and most laser weaponry, including the Daleks' own weapons. It could also survive explosions, including from Ace's Nitro-9, as shown in various episodes.
In expanded media, Dalekanium is described as being exclusive to Skaro, making it one of the least common metals in the universe. In Evolution of the Daleks, it was revealed that Dalekanium could also attract gamma radiation.
In The Mod[]
Dalekanium is a material used to create various Dalek related blocks and items in the Dalek Mod. Dalekanium Ore can be mined to obtain Dalekanium Nuggets, which is used to craft Dalekanium Ingots and Blocks. Dalekanium Ingots can also be used to craft a Dalekanium Sword, Battleaxe, Shield, and Armor set.
Variants[]

Naturally generated Dalekanium Ore on Skaro in an older version of the mod.
'Raw' Material Forms[]

Ore Distribution[]
Planet | Height | Commonness |
---|---|---|
Skaro | TBA | TBA |
Dalekanium Nugget[]
Dalekanium Nuggets can be obtained through killing Daleks, mining Dalekanium Ore on Skaro, or converting a Dalekanium Ingot into nine Dalekanium Nuggets.
Dalekanium Ingot[]
Dalekanium Ingots can be obtained through crafting nine Dalekanium Nuggets into a Dalekanium Ingot, converting a Dalekanium Block into nine Dalekanium Ingots, or through killing Daleks as a rare loot drop.
Dalekanium Block[]
Dalekanium Blocks can be obtained through crafting nine Dalekanium Ingots into a Dalekanium Block.
Weapons & Tools[]
Dalekanium Swords and Battleaxes are as durable than their Iron equivalents in Vanilla Minecraft, having 250 Durability points. Dalekanium Shields, however, are more durable, having 400 Durability points (instead of the 336 Durability points of a Vanilla Minecraft Shield). Dalekanium Swords and Battleaxes also have the same Attack Damage and Attack Speed as Iron weaponry, making them a suitable alternative. Dalekanium Shields are also useful in that they can be used to block Vanilla Minecraft's projectiles (arrows, etc) as well as the Dalek Mod's laser projectiles. This makes Dalekanium Shields useful for fighting Daleks, Cybermen, and other mobs with ranged laser weaponry, as Vanilla Minecraft Shields cannot block laser projectiles.

Armor[]

Dalekanium Armor grants the same number of Armor points (the Armor bar level) as Vanilla Minecraft's Diamond Armor, yet Dalekanium Armor lacks the Armor Toughness modifier (+2 Armor Toughness) granted by Diamond Armor. However, Dalekanium Armor is actually slightly more durable than Vanilla Minecraft's Diamond Armor. Also, Dalekanium Armor recipes match the format of Armor recipes from Vanilla Minecraft.

In Older Versions[]
Dalekanium can be found in three forms (ingots, ore and nuggets). Ore can be mined on Skaro, dropping nuggets. These, when placed in a three by three crafting grid, can be used to create ingots, which can be used to craft armor and tools. Daleks can also drop Dalekanium Ingots when killed.
