Refined Steel Works
by Chiclegamedg
Refined Steel Works gives Forge players a steel metal tier, with ingots, tools and armor that can be crafted from iron gear at a smithing table.
What it does
Steel is added as a metal, and the mod provides a complete set of steel tools and armor. Iron tools can be upgraded into steel versions at a smithing table. Steel items can also be found as loot, including a battle axe that comes from an axe head in a bastion treasure chest. Refined Steel Works runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds exist for 1.16.5 only, released under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
