BETTER COMBAT IS NOT REQUIRED BUT ENCOURAGED!

Welcome To Advanced Smithing!

In this addon you will find all recipes for iron tools and armor onwards will be no more!
In place you will find a well thought out, and intuitive (mostly) new way to craft your gear!
Ores now produce raw nuggets rather than raw ore.

This mod also includes advancements that tie into base game ones for a smooth playthrough.
This mod only adds items, and encourages the use of vanilla blocks and to create a proper workstation.

to handle hot items such as ingots or weapons, craft smithing gloves.
Firstly, Tools

*-Iron:*Iron must be heated for weapons before crafting, after crafting will need to be quenched in a cauldron of water, producing a blunt blade, before its cooled, you can then take it to a stonecutter to be shaped.
after shaping if you so choose, grind the blade to a usable condition.

-Gold:
To upgrade from iron, fill a bucket with 3 gold, and heat it at a campfire, combine with an iron blade or tool head, to plate the tool. Can be done with armour.
-Diamond:

To upgrade from iron, surround the blade / tool head with 4 small diamonds to encrust the tool. Can be done with armour.
-Netherite:
This remains largely unchanged, as I think it works as it is, the only change I have made is you need heated gold ingots rather than non heated.

Armour
-Iron & gold:
same recipe besides ingots
-Diamond:
Encrusting, like tools
-Netherite:
Business as usual

A few other features include:
Full COMPATABILITY with BETTER COMBAT.

TOOL AND WEAPON TRIMS. all tools and weapons have 10 varients, done at smithing table.

6 sword types, 3 short swords, 3 long swords
more to come.

This is my own way of making an in depth mod for smithing tools and armour, somewhere between tinkers and spartan weaponry with my own take on it. I will continue to update (hopefully), no plans for earlier versions and probably wont do 1.19.2 unless absolutely needed. Any suggestions are welcome, feature wise or item wise, and if you come across something that should not be there, let me know!
I will also try and figure out mod compatibility, if I can then expect it. I'm more of a texture artist than a coder, so I use MCreator to make my mods which isn't as flexible then coding but still is a great tool and I encourage it if you're wanting to get into modding too.

I've developed some other snazzy mods, Check 'em out:

Rusted: Java Edition | Overhauls Early Game Armour and Weapon progression! sister mod to Advanced Smithing.
Fashionable Hats | Adds new wearable hats to spruce up your player!

Happy crafting,
