Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.18. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.18.2 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
I couldn't find a mod that just added bronze tools/armor so I made one myself and decided to share it.
This adds a set of bronze tools and armor that fit between the stone and iron stages. It's meant for modpacks that extend the early game. Everything should have the expected recipes but the mod is intended for packs that change those recipes. I have tagged everything with all the tags I thought could be helpful. Please let me know if more should be added to anything.
It adds tin ore to world generation. Once I figure out how to make config files I'll supply the option of turning this off.
Here is a graphical list of everything included:
Top left to bottom right:
Bronze materials
Copper Dust
Tin Materials
Bronze Tools
Tin Ores
Tin Shears
Bronze Armor
Copper and tin dust is made by crafting their respective raw ores by themselves. Four bronze dust is made with the traditional three copper dusts and 1 tin dust.
I have no plans to port this to Fabric but feel free to do so yourself.
