Metal / Mining Mod

Version 0.18.3
Last Updated: August 25, 2020

New Metals and Materials

The modification expands the game world with various metals and resources. Among the added materials:

Metals for tools and armor:

• Aluminum
• Tungsten
• Copper
• Bronze
• Tin
• Steel
• Cast Iron

Other metals:

• Nickel
• Molybdenum
• Stainless Steel

Additional Resources

Saltpeter is found in ores near the surface in water-based biomes.

Sulfur can be found underground in water-based biomes, not necessarily near the surface.

Lava Rock - a rare resource that generates 6 times per chunk in groups of 4 blocks. Located deep underground and serves as efficient furnace fuel (smelts 16 items, twice as good as coal). Also used to create torches using the standard recipe with coal replaced.

Gunpowder Crafting

Gunpowder can be created from saltpeter, sulfur, and coal or charcoal.

Vanilla Content Enhancements

The mod allows crafting emerald armor and tools, and adds bread armor (with characteristics lower than leather).

Ore Deposits

Gold deposits are found in dirt of any biome or in sand of water-based biomes (rivers, oceans). Each deposit drops 3 gold nuggets.

Iron deposits are located underground, replacing stone, and also drop 3 iron nuggets each.

Obsidian System

Obsidian ore generates deep underground and when mined drops 3 obsidian shards.

Obsidian crafting:

• 9 shards = obsidian block
• 4 shards = 2 obsidian arrowheads

Obsidian arrows are created using the standard recipe with flint replaced by obsidian arrowhead (yields 3 arrows). To shoot obsidian arrows, a Hunter's Bow is required, crafted from: 1 iron ingot, 2 obsidian shards, 2 sticks, 1 string, and 1 regular bow.

Additional Weapons

Handles are crafted from 2 sticks and 1 iron ingot.

Battle Axe - a slow but powerful weapon, requiring for crafting: 1 steel, 2 bronze, and 2 handles.

Food

Currently, an orange food item has been added, but it's not obtainable in survival mode.

New Biomes

The mod adds two unique biomes:

Dreary Biome - a plain covered with grass and "dead grass", featuring small, bark-less trees and a thick layer of coarse dirt beneath the surface.

Volcanic Biome - covered with coarse dirt, with stone beginning directly below the topsoil layer. Ideal for resource mining and finding gold deposits. Lava addition is planned for the future.

Achievements

Most of the added metals have associated achievements that unlock corresponding crafting recipes.

Known Issues

• Ore and deposit textures may not perfectly blend with the environment
• Some ores may be too common or rare (possibly fixed in version 0.18.3)
