Complete Item List

Armor, Tools, and Weapons

Copper: Cheap and disposable armor and tools for early game. At least they're better than leather...

Bronze: One of the new alloys added by the mod. Bronze tools are not as fast but more durable than iron tools.

Brass: Tools and armor that are more effective than their iron counterparts and have higher enchantability.

Rose Quartz: An armor set with the same protection as diamond armor but with very low durability.

Sturdy Sheet: Armor with very high durability and decent defensive characteristics (slightly inferior to diamond).

Steel: One of the new materials added by the mod. Used to create powerful equipment almost on par with netherite.

All new armor from the mod supports pattern application.

Hammer and Paxel

The Paxel is one of two new tool types added by the mod. It combines the properties of a pickaxe, axe, and shovel.

Create: Ironworks also adds the Hammer. It has the same properties as a pickaxe but mines in a 3×3 block area and consumes durability twice as fast.

Both these tools have lower mining speed compared to their counterparts made from the same materials, compensating for the expanded functionality. Versions for standard materials are also included.

Alloy Creation

New recipes have been added for brass: you can now create the alloy directly from crushed materials and even nuggets! (with adapted drop rates).

Bronze follows the same principle and can be created using the newly added tin ore and a small amount of copper. Being a low-tier alloy, this craft requires no heating.

Steel is the third and highest-tier alloy added by the mod. It requires iron and coal dust (obtained by crushing coal) to create.

Recipes and Other Features

Alloys are useful not only for creating tools and armor. In particular, they can replace other materials in certain recipes.

📜 Tin and Bronze Recipes

Tin can replace iron in several standard recipes. This allows saving iron for other crafts, as Create can be very iron-intensive (especially in early game).

Bronze can be used to craft bells, very similar to real life.

📜 Other Uses for Coal Dust

Coal dust can be used along with several other ingredients to create gunpowder.

📜 Precision Mechanism

Steel can replace iron in the precision mechanism recipe, increasing the success rate to 100% (compared to 80% with iron nuggets).

📜 Upgrade to Netherite

All steel tools and armor pieces can be upgraded to netherite in the same way you would with diamond equipment. This also includes the new hammers and paxels.

📜 Netherite Upgrade Template

You can use steel instead of diamonds for duplicating templates. However, you'll still need to find the first template yourself...
