Better With Forging

Tools can receive modifiers that change their damage or mining speed, in the style of the Terraria tool system. The Smithing Workbench applies these modifiers using Smithing Stones, which come in three tiers. Stones are crafted from iron ingots and stone, and some can be found in labyrinths, where a statue room has a 25% chance to hold one. A random modifier is applied by one kind of stone, the strongest available modifier by another, and a special Mythical modifier grants a tool a special ability. Mythical modifiers are rare and turn up in dungeons only occasionally.

Sword modifiers include bonuses of +40%, +50% and +60% damage, a 25% chance to ignite enemies, and penalties of -20%, -40% and -60%. Pickaxe modifiers include bonuses of +30%, +50% and +70% mining speed, a +30% speed modifier that auto-smelts items, and penalties of -30%, -50% and -70%. The mod is built for the b1.7.3 version of Minecraft and supports snapshot builds. It runs on client and server, and the license is a custom one, so the code is not open source.
