Forgeborne Odyssey

The mod covers a full crafting chain for metalworking. Players extract raw material from natural metal deposits, which generate with a realistic geological distribution for copper, silver and gold, then move through a fire pit that heats and softens metal before forging begins. Forging happens at an anvil in several stages, where stretching, bending, slotting and carving shape the workpiece into the finished products.

Output covers several categories, including weapons, tools, armor, accessories and building pieces. The mod also includes dynamic durability systems for its items, JEI compatibility for browsing recipes and an in-game guidebook that documents each step. Its scope is the pre-industrial part of metalworking, so the progression is meant to feel like a Bronze Age craft rather than factory automation.
