What it does

The mod ships as a datapack for Fabric and changes some recipes that Create's Fabric versions use. Molten metals from Create: Molten Metals are the input for melting recipes, which run through the foundry from Big Cannons. Alloys that include netherite can only be produced from molten metal, so the smelting route for them is different from vanilla.

Several Ironworks recipes were repaired, including the tin recipes. Slag drops were adjusted and now include tin XP nuggets and lead, with the increased nugget drop rate applied at 1% and 5%. Spout recipes were added for gold foods, and pigsteel can be crushed and melted along with the iron recipes. A server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. Public links are provided for the source code and issue tracker, and the mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Files target 1.20.1 only, with the latest Fabric file 8+mod for 1.20.1 dated 2025-01-08.

Key features
