ElementCraft
ElementCraft adds steel armor, enchanted swords, a Realm Steel dimension and a Steel Portal built from steel blocks for Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
Players can craft new armor pieces and weapons made of steel, which the mod presents as stronger than the vanilla equivalents. Enchanted swords are part of the same set. The added content is meant to carry a survival or adventure run into new territory.
A portal made from steel blocks opens the Realm Steel dimension, and the mod's own lighter activates it. Realm Steel is a separate world to explore once the portal is lit. The mod is listed under the Adventure category, with Game mechanics, Utility and Magic as secondary tags.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Latest Forge file 2.0.4 for 1.20.1 is dated 2024-07-26, first published 2024-07-23. The author notes that the mod is still under development, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Steel armor set
A full armor set made from steel adds protection and is described as stronger than standard gear.
Enchanted steel swords
Swords made from steel are enchanted, giving melee combat a higher damage tier.
Realm Steel dimension
A dedicated dimension called Realm Steel adds a new area to explore beyond the overworld.
Steel Portal and lighter
Steel blocks form the portal frame, and a lighter included with the mod ignites it to enter Realm Steel.

How it compares
ElementCraft is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, with client and server environment and All rights reserved licensing. Steel Mod is a similar steel-themed option for the same loader and version, but it is marked deprecated. Allay Dimension is another Forge 1.20.1 dimension mod that also requires client and server, and it is not open source either.
