Planning a shiny grind, or just a batch? Pick a suit and how many you want, and this works out every material — including the base suit if you're making an alt — and where to go get it.
Shiny odds
83.9%
chance of at least one shiny from 30 suits (60 rolls)
33 crafts per shiny on average · 23 rolls for a coin flip · 76 for 90% · 152 for 99%
Alts roll twice: once when you craft Superman, again when you alt it into Clark Kent. That's 2 chances per finished suit, which makes an alt a better shiny grind than crafting a base suit over and over.
Every craft is an independent 3% roll — no pity, and past failures don't improve your next one. Server admins can change the rate with the shinyChance gamerule. How shinies work
Clark Kent is an alt of Superman, so each one also costs a full Superman. Both recipes are included below — 30 × (Superman + Clark Kent).
