Forged In Damasucs

Damascus steel is introduced as a material for tools, armor and weapons, and the path to it runs through smelting. Players first make coke in a Coke Kiln from coal, then combine metals in a Forge Furnace to produce alloys, with pig iron and cast iron among the stages along the way. The Damascus Sword is the first weapon, and further infusions of the blade are listed among the planned additions.

A Damascus steel upgrade template can be found in ancient cities, where it spawns with a 5% chance. The mod also adds smaller items related to the metalworking chain. Recipes are defined in JSON, and an example recipe for the Coke Kiln is part of the project's public source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for NeoForge 26.2 only, with 1.3-26.2 as the latest build, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source. Just Enough Items (JEI) is an optional dependency that shows recipes when installed.
