Art of Forging: A Tetra Addon
Art of Forging adds seventeen crafted modules to the Tetra tool system, several based on real and pop-culture blades.
What it does
The addon extends Tetra with new modules that players craft at a forge table or obtain from scrolls. Many take their shapes from real-world and fictional weapons, including rapiers, sabers and flamberge-style blades. Some modules are craftable from their scrolls, some appear only in dungeon loot, and one requires an amethyst block in the player's inventory. A katana improvement is gated behind a craftable scroll.
The mod also changes the loot tables of simple dungeon chests. Each scroll receives its own weight and rarity, so certain schematics are harder to find. Optional support is included for several other mods, and one of those integrations needs Tetratic Combat.
Art of Forging needs Curios API, Soul Fire'd, mutil and tetra, and it must run with the latest Tetra release, 4.8.0 or newer, since older versions stop it from loading. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is published for Forge only, for 1.18.1 – 1.20.1, and released under the MIT License as open source.
