Advanced Metals Expansion
by yajatSharma
Advanced Metals Expansion introduces chromium, aluminium, stainless steel, tungsten and titanium to Minecraft, each with its own ores, ingots, tools and armor.
What it does
Ore from the new metals generates in the overworld, where it appears in deeper layers and is rarer than common stone ores. Ores are smelted into ingots, and the ingots serve as the base for crafting tools, armor sets and industrial blocks. Each metal has its own applications: chromium, aluminium, stainless steel, tungsten and titanium are all used in recipes that go beyond the vanilla materials.
The additions are meant to slot into the vanilla progression rather than replace it. Tungsten and titanium armor sets give stronger protection than the standard options, and the tools made from the new metals last longer. Building materials made from these metals open more sophisticated construction options, so the mod extends progression at the same pace the player advances. The mod is published for NeoForge only, with builds covering 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
New ores in deeper layers

Metal tools and armor
Tools made from the new metals last longer than standard options, and titanium and tungsten armor sets give stronger protection.
Industrial blocks
Blocks made from the new metals serve as building materials for more sophisticated structures and machinery.
Alloys and ingots
