Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Steelworks Reforged is a vanilla friendly mod adding steel to Minecraft. Steel is easy to make and use, being crafted with 4 of any coal and 2 iron ingots. The resulting crude steel is then smelted to make steel ingots. Steel equipment is in between Iron and Diamond tier, with higher durability and enchantability than Iron. Steel is used to make blocks, tools, weapons, and armor, following default minecraft item creation. Steel equipment can be repaired at an anvil with steel ingots.
