About this project

What does Salty's Realistic Forging add?

salty's realistic forging

Have you ever been bothered by the shallow smelting mechanics in Minecraft? Probably not.. But I Have.

📖 About:

This mod aims to make smelting ores and forging tools more immersive (GUI free) and engaging.

It adds new mechanics to smelting and forging ores and tools and steps for gems lapidary.

💢Heads Up:

-This mod is highly focused on immersion and role play, It is intended and will make gameplay and especially early game slower, I absolutely do not recommend it if you don't like things slowing you down or if you care about automatization farms.

-If you want for some reason to ignore the forging process you can smelt the raw ore block collected with silk touch.

-Please use JEI for tools recipes.

-a fabric por is not possible due to plugin and there are no plans to port this mod for older versions.

-If any recipes added in any processes affects other mods recipes please use Polymorph mod, it allows you to work with conflicting recipes.

For the tools tutorials please check the curseforge page until I manage a wiki page or a guide book inside game I don't know (sorry guys).

✅ Features:

-Includes a unique step by step process to forging iron ingots and iron tools, gold ingots and golden tools, copper, netherite and diamond and diamond tools, diamond & emerald lapidary. From raw ore to ingot/gem to tool/weapon.

-Each ore requires it's own specific way of being processed. As each tool requires a diferent way of being crafted.

-Better usage of '1 purpose' vanilla blocks. Cauldrons, stone cutters and grindstones are the core of this mod.

-Increases early-game complexity. Find ways to forge iron with what you can get in the wilderness and from that make tools to forge other materials and work efficiently and consistently.

-Focused on immersion, Everything can be done with a combination of holding certain items in the main hand, off hand, and right clicks. No GUI's.

-Ore veins drop up to 5 raw ores. 

-A rough gem can be processed to two gems. Ex: One rough diamond gives 2 diamonds after the lapidary.)

-Compatibility: Realistic forging aims to enhance the process to obtain vanilla resources and tools, any mod that uses vanilla resources and or tools for it's craftings or mechanics is compatible with my mod.
