BASICS GUIDE
SpoilerFirst you have to make yourself a "sword makers anvil"
Now right click the anvil too open the forging gui
place your blade, hilt and handle in the blade forging slots in the order shown
Next click the hammer, this will start a 10 second timer it is your job to click the hammer as much as possible until you reach the hammer count (HC), any sword has a HC of 30, so you must click the hammer 30 times before the timer runs out.
if you are successful you have forged you first katana!
ALLOY GUIDE
SpoilerFirst you have to make yourself a "sword makers anvil" a "kiln" and a "burner"
Next assemble the kiln and burner like this
Now right click the burner while holding any sort of coal/charcoal
It should light and look like this
Now we can start to make alloys! (imma use Gold steel alooy for a example)
First right click the lit kiln with steel to heat the steel! (some alloys need a super heated kiln to be heated)
these are
-Purified Black Steel
-Netherack Alloy
-Prismarine Alloy
To super heat a kiln use super fuel
The kiln will turn blue and be lit for longer
remember to be quick after a while the steel will cool!
Now right click the anvil too open the forging gui
always put the heated metal at the top section!
Now the hard bit :(
click the hammer this will start a 10 second timer it is your job to click the hammer as much as possible until you reach the alloys hammer count (HC), for example for gold steel alloy the HC is 40, so you must click the hammer 40 times before the timer runs out.
if you are successful you will of made your first alloy!
if you are not successful you will make srap metal ):
theses alloys can be used to make baldes handles and hilts!
