Elemental Smithing
by ukrounay
Elemental Smithing adds steel materials, elemental cores and fusion crafting to Fabric for 1.20.1, plus a grand blacksmith villager and a structure to find them in.
What it does
Players who want a smithing progression can craft steel from raw gobbets, then combine fused crystals in a fusion smithing table to make flame, frost and soul cores. Those cores feed into elemental weapons, steel and crystal tools, a reinforced steel sword, and knight and reinforced knight armor sets. Custom blocks and material blocks cover the storage side, and an energy condensator charges elemental crystal items automatically.
The mod also changes the village: a grand blacksmith villager profession and a grand blacksmith's house structure offer trades and a place to explore. Steel upgrades use a smithing template, a custom book called Steel Chronicles is included, and music discs are added. Elemental Smithing runs on Fabric and is released under the MIT License, with source code available to read. It requires Fabric API, and it supports REI 12.1.725 and higher.

How it compares
Elemental Weapons is open source under the Apache License 2.0, runs client and server, and targets 1.20 – 1.20.6 on Fabric and Quilt, so it covers more versions and loaders than Elemental Smithing. Death Knights (RPG Series) is also client and server, but it is Fabric only for 1.20 – 1.20.1 and all rights are reserved, so it is not open source.
