Advanced Alloys
Advanced Alloys lets players combine copper, iron and gold in an Alloy Blaster and craft tools, weapons, armor and blocks from the resulting ingots.
What it does
The mod adds custom tools, weapons and armor that mix metals in different proportions, giving early and late game play separate sets to choose from. Copper becomes a useful material, with copper tools and armor that last longer than iron and deal less damage, while still offering more protection than the iron they replace. Upgrading plain stone and iron gear is one of the goals of the mix.
The Alloy Blaster is a new block crafted from four furnaces, four cobbled deepslate and one diorite, which gives diorite a use. It combines three metals into ingots, and each mix trades durability, protection and mining speed differently, so the result depends on which metals go in. Smooth quartz blocks are used in one of the recipes to make silicon, which is not yet added to the mod's list of items. Client and server both need the mod, and it is published for Fabric and Quilt across five release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, under All rights reserved.

How it compares
Better Copper is client and server, under the MIT License, and only runs on Quilt for 1.19.4 – 1.20.1. Copper Uses is server required with client optional, under the MIT License, and covers 1.20 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and Quilt. Both focus on copper, while Advanced Alloys works with several metals in one block.

This mod works to revolutionize early & late game play by allowing you to upgrade from the boring stone and iron tools as well as netherite and diamond tools. To start that this mod adds copper tools and armor which are more durable than iron but are not as fast, deal less damage, and do not give as much protection…
