Worth a Nickel
Shiny is a simple mod that aims to amplify tool creation trough a new mineral, Nickel! Nickel can be used to craft all sets of nickel blocks (pillar stairs brick etc..) Nickel coins and the new workstation: the Forging table, that workstation will unlock the new villager, the Toolshaper. his trades replace emeralds with nickel coins, and ONLY trough him you can get all 4 tool molds (axe, sword, pickaxe, shovel and hoe) that you can create all sets of tool only using 1 unit of the material!
You can also find nether nickel that can be used to create the all new sets of tools and armors!
