Steel Progression Mod (26.3) – Forge Tough Metal Gear Before Finding Diamonds

Steel Progression Mod bridges the gear gap between copper and diamond by adding a complete steel tier to your survival worlds. You mine raw ore underground, smelt clumps into refined metal, and combine it with copper and coal to forge durable ingots. The mod introduces powerful tools, tough armor, and electrical redstone parts that react to lightning strikes. You also get faster smelting options and industrial building blocks that give your base a fresh factory style.

Features:

• New Steel Tier: Adds a balanced middle equipment tier between copper and diamond through the smithing table.
• Lightningproof Armor: Protects you from all lightning damage and fire effects when you equip the complete armor set.
• Conductivity Enchantment: Turns your helmet into a moving redstone power source for several seconds after lightning strikes you.
• Conductive Redstone Network: Introduces steel rods, wires, conductors, repeaters, and bulbs to send electrical energy across long distances.
• Steel Blast Furnace: Smelts metal items at twice the speed of standard blast furnaces while saving fuel.
• Generates steel ore deep underground in lush caves, dripstone caves, windswept hills, and abandoned mineshafts.
• Requires refining raw clumps and mixing them with copper and coal on a crafting table to produce steel ingots.
• Matches diamond tool mining speed and armor toughness while keeping balanced mid-tier durability.
• Adds unique weapons and defense gear including the steel spear and heavy steel shield.
• Carries electrical signals up to thirty blocks across specialized steel wire without standard signal loss.
• Attracts lightning strikes from up to 384 blocks away with directional steel rods.
• Includes industrial decorative blocks such as steel grates, doors, trapdoors, chains, and lamps.

Conductive Redstone Blocks:

• Steel Rod: Attracts lightning from large distances and powers nearby circuits upon impact.
• Steel Wire: Carries electricity up to 30 blocks across your base.
• Steel Conductor: Connects standard redstone wiring to steel electrical lines.
• Steel Junction: Routes power in multiple directions for tight circuit spaces.
• Steel Repeater: Delays and repeats signals along long steel wire paths.
• Steel Bulb: Lights up when powered by your conductive network.

Steel Equipment:

• Steel Tools: Deliver diamond-level mining speed and attack power with 850 durability.
• Steel Armor: Matches diamond defense and toughness while providing complete lightning immunity.
• Steel Shield: Offers 672 durability to block monster attacks in combat.
• Steel Spear: Provides a solid mid-game polearm option for survival fights.

How to Use:

1. Explore caves between Y -38 and Y 48 or search abandoned mineshafts to mine Steel Ore.
2. Smelt the dropped Steel Clumps in a regular Furnace or Blast Furnace to create Refined Steel.
3. Combine six Refined Steel, two Copper Ingots, and one Coal on a crafting table to craft eight Steel Ingots.
4. Obtain a Steel Upgrade Smithing Template.
5. Place the template, your copper gear, and a steel ingot into a Smithing Table to create your steel equipment.
