Metalmancy
by feandrad
Metalmancy is a Fabric world generation mod that adds metal ores, tools and a metalworking path to the game, with the mod name in the first sentence.
What it does
The mod places ore and metal content in the world, including several metals and alloys that can then be processed. Flint and bone tools are included as early-game options, and clay joins as a material for pots and porcelain buckets.
Metalworking happens through a Hammer, a clay chest-like pattern for the crafting table, and a cast used in a furnace with a metal block. The Hammer crushes ore into dusts, but it cannot crush the harder metals on its own. Clay pots store liquids and serve as casts for forge tools. The mod is set in a path where players can become a blacksmith, and it is framed around challenges that players choose, with an arcane energy and ancient relics theme.
Metalmancy runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, for 12 release versions across 1.19.1 – 1.21.11. The code is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, which makes it not open source. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are publicly linked.
