Superheated Steel, a BTA Babric mod for 1.7.3, adds a short-lived tool line of steel tools with fire aspect and automatic processing effects.

What it does

The mod introduces a specialised Superheated Steel tool line. These tools have high performance and fortune-style trommel bonuses, but low durability, so they behave more like the golden tools of vanilla than a general replacement for iron. Each tool fills a specific role and adds an equivalent of the fire aspect and fortune enchantments seen in later Minecraft versions.

Trommelling is expanded to cover more ores, giving players a reason to use the gold tools in the trommel. Some recipes process materials directly: cooking ores, stone, cobblestone, sand and mud, and ash trommelling produces charcoal, felt and the other base items BTA was missing. Tools used like flint and steel create fire on right click, and a fire aspect sets mobs alight. Logs can be scorched, while the tools also destroy crops and cook mud, which makes them a poor choice for farming.

Superheated Steel is a client and server mod for BTA Babric, so the server and every player need it. It requires HalpLibe. Files are published for 1.7.3 only, with version 1.2 as the latest build, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. The code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Superheated steel tool line

    A set of steel tools with high performance and low durability, each designed for one role in the game.

  2. Expanded trommelling

    The trommel accepts more ores and can produce extra materials by chance, which rewards mining with gold tools.

  3. Fire aspect and flame effects

    Fire aspect sets mobs alight, and tools used like flint and steel light fires on right click.

  4. Processing recipes

    Direct recipes cook ores, stone, cobblestone, sand and mud, with ash trommelling giving charcoal and felt.

Questions

Does Superheated Steel need HalpLibe?

Yes. HalpLibe is a required dependency and must be installed next to Superheated Steel.

Do players need the mod if the server has it?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Are the tools a replacement for iron tools?

No. They have low durability and serve specific roles, so they work more like golden tools in the trommel than as general-purpose iron tools.
