AnnoyForge - Harder Immersive Tool Smithing [AFTS]
by Annoy
AnnoyForge makes iron tools harder to get by changing how they are crafted, and it adds an alternative route to them for Forge servers on 1.20.1.
What it does
Iron tools are made through a longer process in AnnoyForge: iron is heated, and blueprints and tool parts are assembled before a finished tool appears. The recipes are reworked to feel more immersive than the vanilla crafting grid. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. The mod is released for Forge 1.20.1 only, with a single build dated 2025-05-14, and it is licensed as All rights reserved.
