Molten Metal

 

03/04/24 Note: (I have plans to overhaul this mod and will make it work slightly or completely different, and hopefully more capable to be compatible with other mods because this current version isn't made with that ability. For now I'll still update this one if it needs it until said overhaul is figured out. I just wanted to let everyone know.)

Have you ever thought "man I wish making tools and weapons were more immersive"? well this might be the mod you want!

What this mod does:

Adds new forge block! (UPDATED!)

No longer are the days of putting metals with sticks to make tools and weapons! instead you must use new "Moulds" to create your equipment pieces! (you can get these moulds from Toolsmith, Weaponsmith, and Armorer Villagers or by crafting them in the Stone Cutter with Cobblestone. Each tool piece requires the same amount of minerals the vanilla recipes use, so if you wanna make a iron axe you need to at least 3 iron ingots in there! Moulds only have 3 uses so use em wisely. Each tool piece uses 1 coal or charcoal for fuel)

(UPDATED GUI)

After making your pieces you must use a anvil or smithing table and hammer to get those pieces into shape! (Crouch Right-Click on anvil or smithing table with hot piece in hand, then Right-Click with hammer until it becomes flat. After which you can Right-Click again with a empty hand to pick up the piece and Right-Click once more on a water cauldron or water source to cool it down. Then it's ready for crafting!)

ARMOR FORGING! (armor forging is really simple for now, instead of using ingots you'll use the "plate mould" to make plates which you have to smith like everything else, and you use the plates exactly like ingots when crafting your armor. BUT it doesn't stop there! you can upgrade your armor by crafting HEAVY variants of them! And they're trimmable because that's what's most important)

If you have any questions or problems please let me know!! this mod is still in progress. below are planned changes and additions for this mod.

• More Weapon Variety (1.0.4 Adds Long & Great Swords)
• Hot Items Cool Down Over Time
• A More Interactive Armor Forging System
