Proton

The proton is a composite particle that forms part of the core of an atom. It is made out of two upquarks and a downquark. As the proton is held together by the strong force, crafting recipes follow the rule that the colors of the quarks have to add up to white (see Crafting with Quarks).

One of the many possible recipes for a proton is:

Proton: 1 red upquark + 1 green upquark + 1 blue downquark + 6 gluons

The core of any atom is made of a number of protons and neutrons - the exact number varies from atom to atom. In ElementaryCraft, protons are used to craft both hydrogen atoms and helium atoms.

Its corresponding antiparticle is the antiproton. However, the antiproton is not available in Elementary Craft.
