Smithing Steel

A vanilla-friendly mod that adds steel tools and armor as an upgrade to iron.

The current versions are for 1.20.4 neoforge/1.20.1 forge and fabric.

Get steel from smelting crude iron in a blast furnace and use it to upgrade iron tools and armor in a smithing table.

Content:

Steel Armor (stronger than iron with slight knockback resistance);
Steel tools (strong as diamond tools with less attack speed and durability);
Steel nugget, ingot and block;
Smithing Hammer, get it from villager trading (can mine with, same damage as steel sword with high knockback);
Limestone dust, and sand (sand has a chance to generate naturally);
Limestone ore (drops 1 limestone dust), comes in two variants: deepslate limestone ore generates between -64 and 0, dripstone limestone ore generates between -64 and 64 only on dripstone caves,
Crude iron (crafted with 1 limestone dust, 2 coal (any), and 4 raw iron);
Crude iron block (has a chance to generate naturally);
Steel golem, stronger than iron golem;
Steel door, trap door, pressure plate, bars;

Compatible with my other mod:

More Vanilla Tools: unlocks steel recipes for the extra tools and a recipe for the hammer,

Notes:

Because I use Mcreator to make the mods, I won't be able to uptade the fabric version until the plugin is updated.

Check the images for more information.

Feel free to use it on your modpack, just make sure to credit it and don't claim it as your own. Have fun!
