Graphite
Used for carbon steel creation, but can also be used to make pencils, an alternative to ink sacs and feathers for the book and quill.
Carbon Steel
Created with enough graphite and iron chain links at a smithing table. Provides more reasonable durability compared to iron tools.
Titanium (& Rutile)
Titanium can be extracted from rutile crystals, which can be found all over the place in the form of pure ores, and quartz infused with rutile. Carbon steel tools are needed to create titanium gear, and can then be used to make netherite gear.
Silver (v0.2)
An alternative to gold, silver is capable of mining whatever iron can. Though durability, sharpness, and protective stats are only slightly increased.
Amethyst Expansion (v0.2)
Amethysts can now be polished at a stonecutter and made into proper gems. These gems (alongside some extra iron) can be made into tools that mine at diamond level, but have iron-similar durability, and very high efficiency.
Tools and Armor (as of v0.2)
Silver gear is slightly stronger gold gear, Amethyst armor provides minimal toughness and knockback resistance at iron+ level, Carbon Steel boasts high durability at iron level, and Titanium is a well-rounded, very durable diamond+ armor set.
The Silly Stuff (as of v0.2)
Wood pellets can be made out of leftover sticks for decent fuel. Bandages and Medkits offer slow healing for a decent cost. Iron can be made into links for chainmail armor, and there are a few end-game weapons/items to make. Good luck!
