Forge Retail
Forge Retail adds a melting and casting chain for building tools from molten metal, along with a shop system for selling items and setting prices.
What it does
Materials that can be melted, such as coal and buckets, go into a melting machine, and the resulting molten metal feeds a cast maker and a casting station. Tool parts like heads and handles are cast separately, then combined at a crafting step into finished tools. The mod also brings new ores and a forging system built on these steps.
An economy layer runs alongside the forging chain. Players can place a product in the first slot of a shop-style block, set its price, and sell items for the in-game currency, which lets them buy tool materials and reach them faster than mining alone. The mod is available for Forge and NeoForge, targeting 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest Forge build dated 2026-06-14 and the latest NeoForge build dated 2026-05-31. The code is licensed under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
