Bronze

Bronze aims to be the most vanilla-friendly bronze mod available for modern Minecraft.
Tin and Bronze are two new fully fledged materials with their own weapons, armour, blocks and more

Mix up your next playthrough with new sidegrades to copper and iron

Your first step is to gather tin and copper

Tin Gear

Tin is a sidegrade to copper, being generally more effective but less durable.
Tin weapons and armour are crafted with Tin Ingots, which are easily obtained by smelting Raw Tin.

Bronze Gear

Bronze is a sidegrade to iron, having mostly the same stats but greater durability.
You will need 1 Raw Tin and 3 Raw Copper for every Bronze Ingot you want to make.
Craft these items together in a crafting window to obtain Bronze Blend - then smelt this item in a furnace to obtain a Bronze Ingot.

Tin Armor

Tin is a sidegrade to copper, with some distinct differences:

• Tin armor's durability is exactly halfway between leather and copper
• Tin chestplates provide +1 Armor over copper
• Tin armor has 1 more enchantability than copper
• Supports armor trims

Bronze Armor

Bronze is a sidegrade to iron, with some distinct differences:

• Bronze armor's durability is exactly halfway between iron and diamond
• All bronze armor pieces have +1 Armor Toughness.
• Supports armor trims

The bronze mod ships with 4 weapons by default, the Tin Sword, Tin Axe, Bronze Sword and Bronze Axe.

Tin weapons have 151 durability to copper's 191. All other stats are the same.

Bronze weapons have 500 durability to iron's 250. All other stats are the same.

Another mod of mine, Basic Weapons adds 5 other unique weapon archetypes, and has explicit compatibility with the Bronze mod. Just install both mods, and the new tin and bronze weapon types will be able to be crafted!

Tin Tools

Tin tools have 151 durability to copper's 191, and 1 more mining speed. All other stats are the same. This puts tin tools at the same mining speed as iron/bronze

Bronze Tools

Bronze tools have 500 durability to iron's 250. All other stats are the same.

Sickle

This mod adds a new tool in the same classification as Shears - the Sickle.
This item helps you with the crops and flora in your world. It has different functions depending on how you interact, and what you interact with. All these interactions are performed in an area with a configurable radius of 1-10, with the default being 4 blocks.

• Right Click
  • Crops: Harvests and replants fully grown crops, with a low chance per crop to give bonus useful items
  • Flowers: Plucks all flowers in the area, leaving everything else intact
• Left Click:
  • Grass: Cuts down all grass-like blocks, including tall grass, ferns etc. This action leaves flowers and other blocks intact.

Adding blocks to tags
You can add blocks to the #bronze:sickle_mow and #bronze:sickle_pluck block tags to include blocks that the sickle can affect. Crops from other mods should automatically be detected, but if not, please open a bug report on Bronze's GitHub Repository.

Use Case
The Sickle is the perfect item for builders, who want to clear an area of land before building, as well as farmers, who will benefit from faster crop harvests, auto-replanting and bonus item drops.
Drops from blocks destroyed with the sickle are respected, so you will still get all those seeds from the grass you cut down.

Tin is a versatile building material!

Chiseled tin, cut tin, stairs, slabs, connected tin framed glass and more building blocks await! These materials would fit nicely into a temple or modern house build, and are also a great way to show off your wealth! ⛏️

The bronze mod has three two main goals it aims to achieve:

• Flesh out midgame progression for survival Minecraft
• Add simple but useful features that enhance vanilla-centered gameplay
• Give copper a whole new avenue of utility outside of redstone and building (1.21.10 finally gave copper the update it deserved!)

With this in mind, there are a few new features I'd like to implement in the Bronze mod going forward:

This mod already includes a few non-combat blocks and items, such as the Bronze Door, Bronze Trapdoor and Sickle, but I believe there's room for more.
Update: Since 1.0.11+1.21 - a myriad of new tin-based building blocks have been added.
Update: Since 2.0.4+1.21.10 - Tin armour, tools and weapons have been added

Iron ingots have many different roles in vanilla Minecraft. They can be used for armor, weapons, tools, pistons, chains, pressure plates and about 35 other recipes. While I don't want bronze to be as useful as iron, as I believe it would take away from iron's mid-game dominance as a useful material too much, I do want to add some unique features that round the material out.

To simplify this thought process:

• ❌ This mod will not hijack all of iron's recipes with its own versions, e.g. Bronze Bucket, Bronze Shears etc.
• ✅ This mod will come up with simple new utilities/blocks for bronze that don't feel out of place in the base game e.g. Sickle

Also, much like many of my other mods, I intend to update this mod with each new major version of Minecraft going forward. If you've read this far, thank you! I hope you enjoy using this mod, and if you have any queries/issues contact me via the mod's GitHub issues, via Discord or in the CurseForge comments section 🙂.
