Minecraft 26.2

alloys adds ten fantasy metals to Minecraft 26.2 — from Tin to Astral — with full toolsets, armor, bows, material stats, lore, and passive traits. It is fully additive: vanilla recipes and ore drops are preserved.

Ships as a datapack (required for gameplay) and a companion resource pack (recommended — distinct textures for every ingot, fragment, tool, and armor piece). Datapack-only play works everywhere datapacks are supported; without the resource pack, alloy items use vanilla base item models. An optional Paper plugin adds a recipe chest GUI, written guidebook, and /alloys commands.

Forge deeper. Vanish never.

Features

  • 10 alloys — Tin, Bronze, Silver, Steel, Cobalt, Nickel, Platinum, Mythril, Adamantine, Astral
  • Additive only — no vanilla recipe overrides; alloy gear uses #alloys:ingots/<alloy> tags
  • 4 mined fragment drops — bonus rolls while breaking vanilla ores (vanilla loot always drops first)
  • Full gear per metal — pickaxe, shovel, axe, sword, hoe, bow, crossbow, helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots
  • Passive traits — attribute bonuses, intrinsic enchants, and tick-based effects while held or worn
  • Recipe book integration — advancement tabs and unlock backfill on join
  • Written guidebook — delivered once per player (datapack or /alloys guidebook on Paper)
  • Companion resource pack — separate zip with unique textures for all ten alloys (ingots, fragments, and full gear); does not override vanilla minecraft:* item art — routes via item_model to alloys:* assets
  • Rituals integration — alloy tools support Rituals Soul Embodiment when both packs are installed

The ten alloys

Tier Alloy How you get it
1 Tin Craft
2 Bronze Craft
3 Silver Craft
4 Steel Craft
5 Cobalt Ore bonus drop
6 Nickel Ore bonus drop
7 Platinum Craft
8 Mythril Ore bonus drop
9 Adamantine Ore bonus drop
10 Astral Craft (endgame)

Ore bonus drops (extra roll only — pool 1 is unchanged vanilla):

Fragment Chance Host ores
Cobalt Fragment 0.125% Coal, copper, lapis (incl. deepslate)
Nickel Fragment 0.156% Iron (incl. deepslate)
Mythril Fragment 0.0625% Redstone, emerald (incl. deepslate)
Adamantine Fragment 0.031% Diamond (incl. deepslate), ancient debris

Fragments are non-smeltable glowing collectibles. Nine matching fragments craft one ingot (#alloys:fragments/<alloy>). Each ore alloy also has a vanilla-material ingot recipe on its guide pages.

Installation

Datapack (required)

  1. Download alloys-datapack-1.0.36.zip
  2. Copy into your world's datapacks/ folder and rename to Alloys.zip
  3. Restart the world — not just /reload (functions must register)

Resource pack (recommended)

  1. Download alloys-resourcepack-1.0.36.zip
  2. Client: Options → Resource Packs → enable the zip (place above other packs that retexture tools or armor)
  3. Server: copy into resourcepacks/ and set resource-pack= in server.properties (optional require-resource-pack=true)

Gameplay works without the resource pack; alloy items will look like their vanilla carrier items (iron pickaxe, copper ingot, etc.) until the pack is enabled.

Paper plugin (optional)

  1. Place alloys-plugin-1.0.36.jar in plugins/
  2. Still copy Alloys.zip into world/datapacks/ manually
  3. Restart the server — clients should still enable the resource pack for alloy textures

Requirements: Minecraft 26.2 · datapack format 107.1 · resource pack format 88.0 · Java 25 (Paper plugin)

Commands

Datapack:

  • /function alloys:help — clickable help menu
  • /function alloys:give/<alloy> — operator test kit (materials, ingot, full tools & armor)
  • /function alloys:give/guidebook — written guidebook

Paper plugin:

  • /alloys help — recipe browser (chest GUI)
  • /alloys recipes — chat recipe viewer
  • /alloys guidebook — written guidebook
  • /alloys give <alloy> — operator kits
  • /alloys reload — reload plugin config

Permissions: alloys.use (default: all players) · alloys.admin / alloys.give (default: op)

Rituals pairing

If Rituals is also installed, alloy tools can undergo Soul Embodiment awakening. Integration tags ship inside every Alloys zip — no extra download.

Design philosophy

Alloys adds content under alloys:* — it does not disable, replace, or suppress vanilla minecraft:* crafts. Ore changes append a second bonus loot pool; they never remove normal drops.
