Metal Works

About Metal Works: This is a vanilla-styled mod that adds three unique metals, each with their own special functions. All metals have different purposes and special capabilities that distinguish them from standard vanilla metals. No metal is superior to others - each has its own area of application. Depending on your playstyle, you might find that your hotbar contains tools made from different materials.

⛏️ Tin

This metal is mined deep in the overworld at the boundary between stone and deepslate. Despite this, it's quite common and yields rich ore veins. Tin can be used to create armor and tools. Although tin tools are weaker than iron ones, they are significantly lighter and have increased attack speed. Tin is also used to make various decorative blocks, including cut tin, tin shingles, doors and trapdoors, grates, and even tin lanterns, which are enlarged counterparts to standard vanilla lanterns.

🔨 Bronze

A durable alloy created by combining 4 units of tin and 4 units of copper on a crafting table. Bronze is used to make gears and tools. These items occupy an intermediate position between iron and diamond. Bronze tools are slightly stronger than iron ones and have increased durability. As in real life, bronze items have high fire resistance and don't burn, unlike netherite gear. Bronze is also used to create decorative blocks such as shingles, tiles, grates, and bars.

🔨 Rose Gold

A shiny alloy created from 4 units of gold and 4 units of copper on a crafting table. Rose gold has the same strength as iron but possesses increased efficiency, better enchantability, and significantly greater durability. Rose gold nuggets can be combined with beetroot to create rose gold beetroot, which surpasses golden carrots. Rose gold can also be combined with prismarine crystals.
