Michael's Materials
Michael's Materials adds tin, lead, silver, platinum and titanium to the Fabric world, each with ore, raw ore, ingot, dust and nugget forms.
What it does
Metals come in several stages. Ore blocks generate in the world, and each metal also has a raw ore item, an ingot, a dust and a nugget, plus raw block and block variants for storage. Copper nuggets and charcoal-to-coal nugget smelting cover the smaller steps of the chain.
A mortar and a reinforced mortar grind ores and other items into dusts, so processing does not depend on smelting alone. The mod runs on Fabric for 1.17 and 1.17.1 and is open source under the MIT License.
Because it runs on both client and server, the server and every player need the mod. The Fabric build targets 1.17 – 1.17.1, and the latest file is v0.2.1 for 1.17.1, a beta release from 2021-11-16.
