🛠️ Metalworks

Metalworks is a technical expansion for Minecraft Fabric that bridges the gap between basic vanilla survival and advanced metallurgy. This mod introduces a tiered progression system focused on specialized metals, unique alloys, and realistic environmental hazards.

✨ Core Features

🏗️ Advanced Metallurgy Unlock the potential of new materials found deep within the earth. Metalworks introduces a logical progression path for refining raw ores into high-grade industrial materials.

• Steel Alloys: Master the art of carbon-strengthening to create Steel. It provides a significant upgrade over Iron, offering superior durability and efficiency.
• Heavy Lead: Utilize Lead for specialized applications. While heavy and durable, this metal requires careful handling due to its toxic nature.
• Bronze Crafting: Combine metals to create Bronze, a versatile material for tools and defense.

⚔️ Specialized Equipment Expand your arsenal with full sets of tools and protective gear.

• Steel Tier: A reliable middle-ground between Iron and Diamond. Perfect for players who need rugged, long-lasting equipment.
• Lead Tier: Heavy-duty equipment with unique physical properties.
• Bronze Shield: A custom-engineered defense tool with its own sound effects and balancing.
• Custom Tools: Includes Pickaxes, Axes, Swords, Shovels, and Hoes.

🛡️ Protective Armor Sets Forge complete suits of armor from the mod's signature metals.

• Steel Armor: High-protection plating that keeps you safe in the most dangerous environments.
• Lead Armor: Dense, protective layering designed for specialized defense.

🧪 Unique Gameplay Mechanics

• Toxicity System: Beware! Handling certain raw materials like Lead can have adverse effects on your health.
• Vanilla+ Integration: Every item and block is designed to feel like it belongs in the base game.
• Custom Shield Durability: I spent over 3 hours trying to implement the shield's durability logic using official Mojang mappings, but couldn't get it to work properly. As a result, I've implemented a custom workaround to ensure the shield breaks as intended. It might look a bit "janky", but it works! Sorry for any extra trouble during the review.
