Smithing Plus

Have you ever messed up when smithing an item? Thought "What if I could just add a few voxels back"? Here's the solution! Add heated metal bits to the anvil directly, or smith with metal bits and native nuggets (copper, gold, silver) using Smithing Plus. More smithing tweaks and QOL to come.

Features

• Can smith with metal bits and native (copper, gold, silver) nuggets (heat them in a crucible at the workable temperature, do not let them melt)
• Can add bits to ongoing smithing projects (work items)
• Can smith with metal rods
• Can recover bits when splitting on an anvil
• Fix iron bloom regenerating voxels under a helve hammer. Iron blooms will always have enough voxels for an ingot. (Active when bits recovery is enabled)
• Tools drop broken tool head when broken, which can be repaired on an anvil or chiseled to bits in the crafting grid (This now includes the Forlorn Hope estoc)
• Arrows will drop a metal bit when they break
• Chiseling work items in the crafting grid and other bits recycling grid recipes (even from other mods) will yield bits dynamically based on voxel count
• Cast tools have reduced durability (this disappears after repair)
• Metal units required by molds are dependent on cheapest smithing recipe (off by default, configurable)
• Scrape cold crucibles with a chisel to recover bits. Durability used depends on metal tier
• Hammer tool mode to flip work items upside down
• Items that shatter when quenching will drop bits (1.22+)

Client Tweaks

• Search anvil recipes from selection ui (useful when many mods add recipes)
• Change number of columns in the anvil recipe selection ui
• Display workable temperature in tooltip for any anvil workable item
• Temperature will turn green on an anvil or forge when the item becomes workable
• Forge display and tooltip highlights for items that can be quenched or tempered (1.22+)
• Player will remember last used hammer tool mode
• Anvil will display its current voxel count and the chosen recipe voxel count
• Anvil recipes display voxel count at selection
• Handbook will display smithing ingredients and the minimum quantity necessary to smith an item
• Handbook will display detailed metal casting info

Fully configurable using ConfigLib or the file SmithingPlus.json in VintagestoryData/ModConfig

If there are features you don't like, you can likely disable them.

Compatibility notes

• Compatible with Toolsmith
• Now compatible with Salty's Manual Tool Crafting
• When using XSkills, I suggest disabling bits recovery in the config to avoid bad balancing
• Native platinum from Geology Additions can also be used in smithing when smithing with bits is enabled, just like vanilla native gold and copper.
• Any modded tool that has a crafting recipe and at least one metal part (a "tool head") in its recipe. For this to work, make sure the tool head and tool regex selectors in the config match the codes of those modded items. Some are supported out of the box, but not all. You're free to drop selectors for fuller compatibility in the comments.

This is compatible with the two following mods, although some or most features will be redundant, I suggest playing with the respective configs to balance them to work together if you intend to use them with this mod.

• Thrifty Smithing (Not compatible anymore after v1.6.7, this might change if the mod gets updated in the future.)
• Anvil Metal Recovery (Here for 1.20) (redundant feature: tool recovery, bits recovery)

Wanted features

• Durability and performance debuff on cast items which can be fixed further smithing (like blister steel or iron bloom) or repair
• Tool dismantling for metal tools
• Change anvil recipe while smithing
• Stacking of multiple ingot and plate types in piles
• Forge improvement(s)
  • Allow to stack different ingot types on forge

Known issues

• Chisel still crashes sometimes (might be fixed soon)
• Recycling work items is currently broken and doesn't scale (will be fixed soon)
• Some crashes when spears or arrows break apparently
• (If you encounter some issues with a new version of the mod after updating, please try to regenerate the config from scratch first)

Special thanks

• DilanRona hammer flip tool mode suggestion.
• FoeHammer418 for the wonderful screenshots.
