Pigsteel [FABRIC]

by digitalpear

Pigsteel adds a nether-only metal, pigsteel, made by smelting a new ore that only generates in the Nether.

What it does

Pigsteel is a metal that comes from the Nether: a new ore generates only there, called porkslag, and it drops pigsteel chunks. Smelting those chunks gives iron nuggets, and crafting them yields pigsteel decoration blocks. Every pigsteel block slowly turns into a zombified variant when it sits outside ultrawarm dimensions. The mod needs Fabric API and runs on client and server, so both sides need it. It is open source under the Apache License 2.0, with files for 1.16.5 – 1.21.10 on Fabric and Quilt.

Key features

  1. Nether-only ore

    Porkslag generates exclusively in the Nether, so the metal is tied to that dimension.

  2. Pigsteel processing chain

    Porkslag drops pigsteel chunks, which smelt into iron nuggets and craft into decoration blocks.

  3. Zombifying blocks

    Pigsteel blocks slowly zombify when placed outside ultrawarm dimensions, which adds a timed decay to builds.
