Aerium Metallic
by Blackwors
Aerium Metallic is a Forge magic mod for 1.21 that centers on fire-themed weapons, a custom smelting system and a lava-fueled workstation.
What it does
The mod's main focus is a self-created metal, Aerium, which needs high temperatures to process. A player crafts the Arium Smelting Table as the primary workstation, and it is designed specifically to handle Aerium ore. The table runs on lava poured into a bucket placed in its fuel slot, so it does not use coal. A ghost-item hint in the GUI helps when a player is unsure which input goes where.
Aerium gear is upgraded at the same table. Metallic equipment can be advanced to Aerium tier, and the Master Piercing Enchantment is applied to weapons as a unique enchantment. It scales reach, explosion radius and ability force, and does not increase base damage. Abilities such as Fiery Beam, Fire Shield Nova, Lava Riptide and Stab Attack let a player pull enemies, push them away, travel through lava lakes and trigger a Firestorm Explosion on impact.
Key features
Lava-fueled smelting table
The Arium Smelting Table burns lava from a bucket in its fuel slot instead of coal, and it smelts Aerium ore.
Ghost-item hints
The table GUI shows ghost items as hints, so a player who is unsure of a recipe can see what goes in each slot.
Tiered gear upgrades
Metallic equipment is upgraded to Aerium tier at the smelting table, using a single workstation for the whole progression.
Fire-themed abilities
Fiery Beam grapples enemies toward the player, Fire Shield Nova blasts monsters away and grants temporary Fire Protection, and Stab Attack triggers a Firestorm Explosion.
Lava Riptide travel
Lava Riptide launches the player through lava lakes like a rocket, giving a fast route through the Nether.
