About this project

What does Advanced Smithing add?

I became tired of seeing so much of my ingots going to waste.
So I made recipies for
Arrowheads (14x)
Chisels (2x)
Hoes (3x)
Knives (2x)
Padlocks (2x)
Prospecting Picks (2x)
Saw Blades (2x)
Scythe Blades (2x)
Wrenches (3x)
Nails & Strips (9x)


Some of the recipies are only more efficient if you only use one ingot. All fo them require more technical work of the metal to move the voxels to where you need them.

The recipies are additions and not replacements. 

Unless and until smithing is overhauled or the above tools are removed / significantly changed, the mod should work on all furture updates.

Please post any errors you recieve if you have problems.

A note on the Nails recipe, while it is, strictly speaking, less wasteful than the vanilla 2 ingot recipe it is a lot more work for only 1 more strip.
