Bug's Alterations - Dreamy Metalwork
by GeneralBug
Bug's Alterations - Dreamy Metalwork is a Fabric technology mod that extends Create with liquid metal processing built on Create: Big Cannons.
What it does
Dreamy Metalwork is a Create addon focused on processing metals as liquids. Its melting recipes run in the Big Cannons foundry, which works slowly, so players will want several running in parallel. Alloying recipes take mixed fluids as inputs, and netherite is among the recipes that use this route.
Recipes can swap cast iron for industrial iron, since the two count as one another. Spout recipes for gold foods are included as well. A datapack makes some of the changes that the Fabric versions of Create would otherwise handle differently, and a Dreams and Desires Create addon is included in the same set of changes.
Dreamy Metalwork is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may leave it out. The mod is for 1.20.1 only, with the latest Fabric file, 3+mod for 1.20.1, dated 2025-01-01. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
