BBL Casting
by benbenlaw
BBL Casting adds a molten-metal processing chain for NeoForge, with casting, multiblock machines and equipment modifiers for tools and armor.
What it does
Resources can be melted into molten variants and cast into items. The mod's multiblock controller acts as the heart of this process: it melts items into molten resources, which a multiblock valve can extract or mix into alloys. A multiblock solidifier then turns the liquid back into hardened items. Metals introduced by other installed mods can also be cast, and the Create-style resource processing covers more ores.
Equipment modifiers give tools and armor unique traits, such as repairing, excavating or flight. Each modifier keeps its own list of valid equipment, and its maximum level and effectiveness can be set for some modifiers. Recipes and modifiers can be changed with data packs and configuration files, and a companion compatibility add-on extends support to other content. GuideME pages help players understand how the systems work.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is published for NeoForge only, across 6 release versions, and the latest file is 26.1.2-3.10.13 for 26.1.2. The code is released under the MIT License, so the project is open source.
Key features
Molten casting
Items are melted into molten variants of their resource and poured into shapes, one step of a longer processing chain.
Multiblock processing
A multiblock controller, valves and a solidifier form the machine set that melts, mixes and hardens resources.
Equipment modifiers
Modifiers apply to armor and tools, each with its own list of valid equipment and per-modifier level limits.
Custom modifiers
Data packs can define new modifier sets, such as a diamond item that accepts a soulbound modifier to keep items on death.

How it compares
Create: Molten Metals - Neoforged is also a NeoForge metal processing mod for 1.21.1, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source. Tinkers Construct (Unofficial port) covers the same tool modifier idea for 1.21.1 under the MIT License. BBL Casting reaches later game versions than either.
